Leader’s letter marks new chapter in spread of Islamic Revolution: IRGC Commander

Commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), Major General Mohammad Ali Jafari said on Wednesday that the recent letter by Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei to the Western youth marked a new chapter in the spread of the Islamic Revolution in the world.

According to Tasnim News Agency, he in an address to Iran’s Assembly of Experts said: “The exporting of the Islamic Revolution has entered a new stage today.”

On January 21, Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei wrote a letter asking the European and North American youths not to judge Islam based on the recent terrorist attacks in Paris.

In his letter, Imam Khamenei urged Western youths to try to gain a direct and firsthand knowledge of the religion in reaction to the flood of prejudgments and disinformation campaigns.

Elsewhere in his comments, the IRGC commander highlighted the Islamic Revolution’s regional clout, adding, “the Lebanese Hezbollah and its resistance against… the Zionist regime’s army is a miracle worked by the Islamic Revolution and (an indication of) the Islamic Establishment’s powerful influence… in the region.”

Major General Jafari further stressed Iran’s effective advisory role in Iraq and Syria, saying that the IRGC commanders’ advisory assistance helped Iraq cleanse some of its regions of the ISIL terrorists.

“Today, not only Palestine and Lebanon, but also the people of Iraq and Syria acknowledge the Islamic Revolution’s influential role,” the commander added.
