Spokesman
for the Legal and International Commission of the Secretariat for
Shahed and Veterans Organizations issued the following statement on
Martyr's Day:
In the Name of God of the Martyrs and the Truthful Believers
The
late Imam Khomeini as the leader and model of the martyrs of the
glorious Islamic Revolution of 1979 undertook a great role in commanding
and leading the martyrdom-seeking forces and revival of the culture of
independence and freedom of Iran.
The
martyrdom-seeking culture through creation of an inner change in the
society, individual, religious and social ethics, oriented people
towards awareness, growth and dynamism. Having created an intellectual
and spiritual change inside the society, it gave a kind of dynamism to
the deterring defensive diplomacy as well.
Following
the unfair aggression of Iraq against Iran and the plot of other
countries in the world in 1980, Islamic Iran underwent attack after the
Islamic Revolution of 1979. In that unequal war, thousands of martyrs
and war disabled donated their life for the sake of the defense of the
country. This wave of freedom and independency seeking had roots in the
defensive idea of the late Imam Khomeini and through martyrdom, the
truthfulness and innocence of Iran became clear to the international
public opinion such that through world relearning of the lofty ideals
and sacred objectives of the revolution, the free and freedom seeking
nations could learn about the human and divine values of the movement.
The
spirit and solid will of truth-seeking people and those pursuing
martyrdom, unity and revolutionary determination of the people caused
the victory of blood over the sword and superiority of the arm of faith
over the material arms of the regional and world powers.
The
participatory culture of the Muslims and other monotheistic religions
of the Twenty Million Army with reliance upon optional and informed
amity prevented the enemies of Iran from any thought of attack, because
the element of awareness of the death makes the brave men to face the
aggressors.
Considering
the inability of the enemy to dominate the spirit and heart of these
devoted warriors, has forced the enemy to accept an immense cost
vis-a-vis a slight benefit and will deter it from invading our land.
In
the international scene, various mechanisms are used to deter of which
the most important ones is the method of defensive diplomacy. This type
of diplomacy is in fact the application of defensive policy in diplomacy
scene. Using this instrument, the defense section will supply the
benefits and objectives of the political system with the help of defense
domain and without application of hard power.
In
any situation, having an ideal and smart defensive diplomacy is
certainly one of the most important mechanisms to establish and expand
security and in particular, the soft security in each country. Having
such a valuable gem, it is possible to take a step in line with the
concerned goals, present suitable approaches in mutual trust building
with the neighboring and world countries which hold a homogenous
approach.
May the name and memory of thousands of martyrs and veterans be everlasting.
