Supreme Leader Meets Army Commanders

His Eminence said that religious faith prepares the ground for firm and effective motives, further adding: "Faithful and courageous people's deep and firm motives reveal their effect at sensitive and fateful junctures, just as our faithful soldiers and Armed Forces managed to resist and achieve victory against the Ba'ath Army, a fully equipped army which was supported by the superpowers."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that it is necessary to maintain and strengthen the spirit of resistance in the Armed Forces. "Of course, besides acquiring knowledge and developing a firm character, our military commanders should enjoy a spirit of sincerity and avoid becoming attached on the material world."

He referred to the progressive movement of the Iranian Army over the past three decades and stressed: "Today the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army is one of the most populist organizations in the country. It is also a divine and Islamic army which truly serves our national interests."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the hegemonic powers claim that their armies have been established to safeguard national interests and added: "Despite the claims made by the hegemonic powers, their armies are at the service of promoting political ambitions and safeguarding taghuti powers, and national interests are not at all important for them."

His Eminence reiterated: "By massacring the people of Iraq and Afghanistan and by committing crimes in these countries, is the US Army really trying to serve the national interests of the American people?"

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution added: "The Islamic Republic of Iran's Army is the only army that is at the service of the people and national interests. And its members and commanders share the same beliefs and feelings as the people."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Army has been shaped by its progressive movement after the victory of the Islamic Revolution. He added: "It is necessary to constantly strengthen this auspicious movement in the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army."

His Eminence reiterated: "Today a movement has started in the world which is opposed to categorizing countries as domineering and dominated, and Islamic Iran is at the epicenter of this movement."

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said that the Islamic Republic of Iran has become the target of threats and sanctions because it is the epicenter of this movement, further stressing: "After permeating the minds and bodies of Muslim nations for more than three decades, this extremely important movement has emerged as a concentrated force and the developments in Egypt and certain other countries are the result of this movement."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the colonialist and hegemonic powers of the world are extremely afraid of the movement and reiterated that their fear is fueled by the determined and faithful youth of Islamic Iran and the knowledge and insight of the Iranian people.

He stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran's Army plays a significant role in this regard and added that it is necessary to strengthen it.
