AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): The President stated that Imam Khomeini (RA) and the Supreme Leader of the Revolution have done what they had to do in leading the society correctly and completely and at the required time, and stated, "I testify that wherever we have been successful, it is due to the correct implementation of the instructions of our leaders and wherever there is a deficiency, it is due to lack of belief in the guidelines or the inability to implement them correctly".
Speaking on Tuesday morning at the farewell ceremony for 200 unknown martyrs of Sacred Defence in front of Tehran University, Ayatollah Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi condoled the martyrdom of H.H. Fatima Zahra (PBUH) and said, "Although knowing the character of the Pure Fatima (PBUH) is a very difficult task, her life is a model for humanity".
Ayatollah Raisi pointed out, "H.H. Fatima (PBUH) came to the field to protect the precious heritage of the Prophet and to protect the Messenger's mission and guardianship".
Fatima Athar is the first martyr of the fight against hypocrisy and the defence of the sacredness of the Guardianship and the Qur'an.
The President stated, "Everyone says these are good words, who says they are bad words, but what is behind these words and what do they want to bring to the people? Where in the world have you seen pharaohs and great powers tell the society that we want to destroy your reserves and reservoirs? No one makes such slogans, but they say that we want to liberate you, make you independent, and they come to the field with these words, so that they can deceive".
Referring to the fact that Pure Fatima (PBUH) wanted people to live with insight, reason and analysis, Ayatollah Raisi clarified, "If there is no insight, we will open our eyes and see that we are in the army of the enemy, and therefore we should strive for insight".
Dr Raisi further compared the recent riots to the Battle of the Trench and added, "During the recent riots, which was like the Battle of the Trench, everyone was there and the Arrogant Current came out with all its might. The royalist current and all the anti-revolutionary currents and those who were harmed by the Revolution were in the field, and the rumour makers and those who wanted to turn their hopes into despair, were also active behind the scenes".
The President stated that the rumour mongers are seeking to divert the society from its lofty goals, saying, "I testify that wherever we have been successful, it is due to the correct implementation of the instructions of our leaders and wherever there is a deficiency, it is due to lack of belief in the guidelines or the inability to implement them correctly".
"Orators should explain to everyone that this revolution has leaders who were and are unique in guiding the society", he said.
Stating that the reason for the enemy's anger towards the Islamic Republic is the huge progress achieved in various fields despite the cruel sanctions, the President clarified, "The enemy is angry with the Iranian nation because despite the sanctions, we are progressing in production and export and in science, technology and complex industries".
Dr Raisi further emphasised, "The Iranian nation has decided to move in the direction of progress, and therefore we have neither the right to go back nor can we stop. There is only one way ahead of us and that is to move forward and progress".
Ayatollah Raisi called resistance and endurance the key to the success and progress of the Iranian nation and said, "We have learned from H.H. Fatima (PBUH), that we must be resilient, we have learned from the martyrs that we must have hope and resist the enemy".
The President continued addressing the enemies of the Iranian nation and stressed, "You thought you could achieve your goals by creating rumours and rioting, while you have experienced this path many times and failed, why did you make a mistake in your calculations again?"
He said, "Today, while the conditions of the country have normalised, they send a message for negotiations, and they think they want to deceive the Iranian nation".
Dr Raisi stated that the arms of the nation are open to all those who have been deceived, and clarified, "The young belong to this country and women and men belong to this nation. The nation is open to everyone, but we will not show mercy to the adversaries".
Ayatollah Raisi stated that despair and instilling despair is a conspiracy of the enemy and added, "One should be hopeful and resolutely confront bribery, corruption, discrimination, injustice and submission to the enemy".
Ayatollah Raisi further emphasised, "Do not create false dichotomies for us, our real dichotomies are independence-dependence, freedom-captivity in the dictatorship system, attachment to God and values-standing by the enemies of God and humanity".
The President emphasised, "Economic conditions must change with the participation of the people, and I am sure that with the participation of the people, the inflation rate and the currency rate will definitely change and decrease, because wherever people have been present, many problems have been solved".
Emphasising that a very bright future is waiting for the Iranian nation, the President said, "A nation of martyrs never gives way to despair and despair".
Referring to the past and present situation of the Palestinian nation, the President stated, "Look at the state of the Palestinian nation yesterday and its position today! You see that yesterday decisions were made for the Palestinians at the tables of the liberation organisations and they wanted to advance their work with the Oslo, Sharm el-Sheikh and Camp David agreements, but today the initiative is in the hands of the Palestinians and the hands of the Palestinian warriors in the field".
Ayatollah Raisi continued, "Look at the situation and conditions of the region, today everyone says that thanks to the pure blood of these martyrs, the Islamic Republic of Iran takes the first place in the region".
