Failure to resolve Myanmar's crises is connected with US' “Pivot-to-Asia” policy

There can be no doubt that the failure to resolve this long running humanitarian crises is directly connected with the “Pivot-to-Asia” policy promulgated by Hilary Clinton as US President Obama’s Secretary of State, and which is directed at isolating and containing China using what is referred to in US military circles these days as “broad spectrum, asymmetric warfare.

Eid al-Ghadir belongs to all people who are concerned about humanity

The brutal massacre of the Iranian people on the orders of a U.S. general

Another assassination like the one on the 17th of Shahrivar took place in Enqelab Square. This event is usually ignored. During this event, the taghuti agents attacked the people. An American general [Robert Huyser] - who on the last days of the former regime had come to Iran to save it from the Revolution - is quoted as saying, "I gathered the Shah's generals and asked them to lower their gun barrels." On many occasions, the Shah's soldiers used to fire into the air in order to scare the people, but this person asked the Shah's generals to lower their gun barrels and to aim at the people. As a result, the soldiers executed the order in Enqelab Square by lowering their gun barrels and aiming at the people. They martyred a large number of the people, but it was not effective because the people did not retreat. They continued their movement. After that, one of the commanders of the Shah's army - Gharabaghi who was the commander-in-chief of the army at that time - went to Huyser and said to him, "Your order was not effective because it could not make the people move back." In his memoirs, Huyser writes, "What childish analyses they have. What do they mean?" He goes on to say, "Gharabaghi expected the issue to be over with one attempt, but this should continue. They should massacre the people wherever they see them." This is America. America completely ruled over the country for 25 years. These were the orders that it used to issue to the Shah's generals. The Americans had the final say in Iran in economic, political and security matters and in the area of foreign policy. This is the complete rule of America during the time of the taghuti regime. Such a regime used to rule over our country. Its officers, its minister of finance, its minister of defense, its prime minister and even the Shah himself obeyed America unquestioningly! Such a regime used to rule over our country.

Ghadir is not only for Muslims, but for all people who care about humanity

Muslims should pass through differences and form a united Ummah: Imam Khamenei

Another important need of the world of Islam is unity. We should pass through trivial, personal and ideological differences and we should form a united Ummah: "Verily, this Ummah of yours is a single Ummah, and I am your Lord and Nurturer: therefore serve Me" [The Holy Quran, 21: 92]. This is Allah the Exalted's command.

The theatrical performance that impressed Ayatollah Khamenei

For becoming powerful, science is to be acquired

Science is an absolute necessity. You know this well, but I would like to point out that a country, which has no access to science, cannot expect to have glory, independence, identity, security, and well-being. That is the way of the world. Knowledge brings about power. There a sentence in Nahj al-Balagha that is very instructive: "Knowledge is grandeur." [Speaking in Arabic]. "Knowledge is power. Anyone who gains this power can rule and anyone who does not obtain it will be ruled." [Speaking in Arabic]. Anyone who gains this power can rule and triumph over the others. Anyone with no access to this power will be overpowered. Others will defeat and rule them.
