The people of the Iranian nation are believing, faithful, smart, vigilant and politically understanding; when necessary – on the anniversary of the revolution, on Al-Quds Day rally, on the funeral of Imam Khomeini’s son and other scholars—they have had an active presence. This nation has supported and helped the officials of our country, the people of Sarajevo, Palestine, Lebanon and various parts of the world afflicted with earthquakes, immigrants, and war refugees from other countries. Our people have performed their financial, political, and humane duties exceedingly well. Whenever the Revolution called on this nation, they answered the call.
