Imam Ali Khamenei: Islamic Revolution dealt a severe blow to westerners

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has emphasized that the Iranian government, senior officials, politicians, diplomats and the Iranian people should realistically and carefully analyze the complex behavior of Western countries and United States, particularly their duplicity, hypocrisy and disingenuous claims about human rights.

In further remarks, Imam Khamenei said the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran emerged victorious because of absolute independence and adherence to Islam.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks on Monday in a meeting with Iranian Friday Prayers leaders.

He added that during the colonial era, the West expanded its economic, political and cultural dominance over the East and the Islamic world, and portrayed itself as the center of all global calculations because of its scientific and technological achievements.

The Supreme Leader added: “The Islamic Revolution in Iran worried the West and therefore caused their plots to become more intricate”.

In further remarks, the Leader added that Westerners tried to counter political Islam and the Islamic Awakening movement from the beginning.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei said: “Government, authorities, politicians, diplomats and people must have a correct and inclusive view [regarding regional developments], otherwise, we will not see the truth and aside from being duped, we will also suffer”.

Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei described lying and pretentiousness as two characteristics of Western politicians, saying when it is in their interest they will have no issue killing innocents.
He added: “One must stand strong against the Western world because they have shown they have no compassion for anyone and contrary to their human rights claims and pretentious displays, the death of millions of humans does not trouble their conscience,”.
