Increased attacks are due to enemies’ fear of Iran's increasing power

The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution met with senior commanders of the Iranian Armed Forces today, April 8, 2018.

While meeting with a group of senior commanders from the Iranian Armed Forces, today (Sunday), the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution congratulated the people on recent Eid occasions, particularly the month of Rajab.

The Leader said: “The months of Rajab, Shaban, and Ramadan are considered the Eids of God’s pious slaves, due to the important holy days during these months. One should do their utmost to gain spiritual advantages from these months which bring about blessings.”

Ayatollah Khamenei mentioned authority, security, and dignity, plus timely and adequate capability as main goals of the Armed Forces. He emphasized on the necessity of training the staff and preparing successors of the Iranian Armed Forces, adding: “Outcomes of activities and actions performed in the Armed Forces must pursue the determined goals.” 

He, further, referred to the current period as one of dignity for the Islamic Revolution, stressing: “The unprecedented, current invasions against the Islamic system are due to the increasing power of the system; because the enemies are extremely afraid of the increased power, they increase their attacks.”

He went on to say, “Despite all the enemies’ plots, contrary to their will, the power of the Islamic system will continue to grow day after day.”
