Enemy resents independence of the Iranian Nation

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the enemy resents the independence of the Iranian nation.

“The system of the Islamic Republic is an independent system; and has, since the [1979] Revolution, openly pursued its policies and does not fear the roar of any power or opposing any power’s policies,” the Leader said in a Thursday meeting with Iranian military officials and commanders.

“The emergence of an independent nation that is opposed to the bullies and their affiliates is not tolerable for the hegemonic system,” Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out.

The Leader said it is wrong to think that if Iran practices leniency toward the enemy, the latter would reduce its enmity.

“Nations are delighted at seeing the Iranian nation progress and unequivocally defend its rights vis-à-vis powers,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.

The Leader emphasized that, by accelerating their advances, the Iranian Armed Forces must gain such might that would have enemies not dare to even think of invading Iran.
