Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei said on Saturday that Iranians, the youth in
particular, would strongly stand against enemies' anti-Islamic
and anti-Iranian propaganda.
The ayatollah made the remarks addressing a large number
of members of the Islamic Revolution's Guards Corps (IRGC)
as well as Basij (Volunteer) forces in the city of Shiraz, capital
of Fars province, in southern Iran.
Supreme Leader arrived in Shiraz on April 30 to meet
provincial residents, visit various provincial cities, hold
separate meetings with families of martyrs, local officials,
elites, university students and clerics.
"The world expansionist and hegemonic powers are strongly
against justice-loving and independence-seeking aspirations
of the Iranian people," the Supreme Leader noted.
He added that although foreigners continue their massive
anti-Islamic and anti-Iranian propaganda under any pretext,
the intelligent people of Iran, particularly young generation,
strongly resist against enemies.
Ayatollah Khamenei recalled courageous acts of Iranian youth
during the eight-year Iraqi imposed war against Iran (1980-1988)
and said reliance on the Almighty God and the power of the
Iranian nation were two major factors for development of the
Islamic Iran.
Referring to the great scientific, cultural and social achievements
of the Iranian youth in recent years, the Supreme Leader said the
country always is in need of its faithful and talented young generation
who has repeatedly proved its commitment to the sacred aspirations
of the Islamic Revolution.
