Message to Intl’ Union of Resistance Scholars

Different methods are needed to fight against the usurper Zionist Regime: Ayatollah Khamenei

Editors' note

No wise govt would allow another country to negotiate its defense capabilities

If a Muslim country recognizes Zionist regime, it will be disgraced, shamed

The Palestinian people cannot be asked to recognize this regime. If such a mistake is made within the Islamic world, and the oppressive regime [Zionist regime] is given recognition in addition to the disgrace and shame it will create, it would be a pointless action, because this regime is not legitimate.

Martyr Fahmideh was a teenager who knew significance of his existence

He was thirteen years old; but, he was a mature, intelligent, determined and assertive young man who knew his country, knew his imam, knew his enemy, knew the significance of his existence and his actions. He is a role model.

Iranians had every right to storm US embassy in 1979: American activist

Americans were shocked and outraged, but it would have come as no surprise to those who remembered or took part in the coup that overthrew Mossadiq. It was hatched in that very same embassy. We did not tremble remembering our 1953 betrayal of democratic Iran in order to create a client regime whose purpose would be to further perceived US national security interests - because this “crisis” was recorded in a vacuum; one with no context or history.

Obama differed from Trump only in his method of hostility

The truth is that President Barack Obama was just as hostile to Iran as is Trump. But Obama agreed to the nuclear deal because he knew that the United States had reached a crossroads in its dealings with the Islamic Republic. Trump is motivated by the same hostility to the Islamic Republic as is the entire U.S. ruling class, as represented by both the Republican and Democratic parties.

Grasp every opportunity

You youth should benefit from opportunities. Today, you have the opportunity to build the future of your country. Your time is different from our youth. Our youth was marked by insecurity and hardships. When we were your age, we were either in prison, under pressure and torture or in exile. And when the Revolution achieved victory – the first years after the Revolution – our days and nights were marked by working and endeavoring. There was no rest. We were constantly working. After one, two years I became president. Some of those who were with me did not become president. They were only trying and working. I too was engaged in another kind of work and endeavor during my presidency. What I mean is that we really went through a lot of trouble when we were at your age and a little older than that. This is not the case for you. You enjoy security and tranquility, you have scientific opportunities, you have capabilities and you are encouraged and respected. You should appreciate the value of this by benefitting from this opportunity.

Thanks to Islamic Revolution political dependence has been completely uprooted in our country

Political dependence came to an end thanks to the Revolution... We were thankfully liberated, but that we are still dependent in terms of the economy and culture. We should work on this because dependence will lead to disaster. I will tell you that when I look at the memoirs which have been written by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi's friends, I read that in certain cases, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi himself was extremely angry at the Americans. He sometimes cursed them. Of course, he did so in his private room and in the company of his close friends. He was like a person who goes to his rooftop and swears at a policeman in a distant city. He used to swear at them in his private room, but whenever the British or the US ambassador delivered a message, made a phone call and issued a command, he was ready to bow to them and obey their command. He had no choice and he had to do so. This is dependence. This should be destroyed. Well, political dependence has completely been uprooted in our country
