In his recent address, Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered a powerful and unwavering message: the Islamic Republic of Iran will never yield to destructive elements, rioters, or foreign plots aimed at undermining its stability. Referring to the ongoing unrest in various cities—where agitators have damaged public property and attempted to spread chaos—he clearly labeled these actions as inspired by foreign agendas, particularly with American backing. Ayatollah Khamenei stated:
Americans have repeatedly suffered defeat in the past due to their misguided plans and misunderstandings. They are repeating the same old mistakes today and will face humiliation once again."
This statement carries profound historical weight, recalling the 1979 Islamic Revolution that uprooted the corrupt Pahlavi monarchy. Mohammad Reza Shah Pahlavi's regime served as the primary puppet of American imperialism. It was notorious for corruption, oppression, imposing Western culture, and exploiting the people. The United States provided that dictator with weapons, intelligence, and economic aid, believing Iran would remain under its permanent control forever.
However, under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA), the Iranian people shattered that illusion. The fall of the Pahlavi regime demonstrated to the entire world how fragile and deceptive American schemes can be.
Echoes of the Past in the Present
The Supreme Leader emphasized that the same outdated mindset persists today. Elements operating from abroad, openly supported by foreign powers, are attempting to destabilize Iran's security. These groups incite riots, set fire to property, and create anarchy solely to please the United States and its allies. Yet, the Iranian nation and the Islamic system are fully aware of these conspiracies and will not allow them to succeed.
Pillars of Strength Behind the Islamic Revolution
The People's Support
The Iranian people have repeatedly proven their steadfast allegiance to the Revolution's ideals—independence, freedom, and Islamic values. Whether during the eight-year Iran-Iraq War or under crushing economic sanctions, they have never surrendered.
The Power of Armed Forces
The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and other security forces remain fully vigilant and capable of crushing any destructive activity.
Spiritual and Ideological Resilience
The Islamic Revolution is not merely political; it is a profound ideological and spiritual movement. It continues to inspire the global Muslim and oppressed world against American imperialism and its proxies.
A Weakening American Influence
In a world where American dominance is declining and leaders like Trump grapple with domestic crises, Iran's strength shines even brighter. The Supreme Leader made it clear: the Iranian people will never permit these rioters and foreign conspirators to prevail. Those dreaming of restoring a corrupt regime like Pahlavi's should remember history's lesson—the end of Pahlavi was inevitable, and the same fate awaits anyone pursuing similar illusions.
A Beacon for the Oppressed
Iran's Islamic Revolution remains a ray of hope not only for its own people but for the entire Muslim and oppressed world. It stands as a symbol of resistance against American imperialism and will endure. No matter how many plots are hatched or riots incited, the Iranian people and their leadership will remain resolute and unyielding.
Long Live the Islamic Revolution! Down with American Imperialism!
