Tehran's missile strike on ISIS was a message for Riyadh and Washington: analyst

While the target, coordinated with Damascus, was ISIS terrorists, General Ramazan Sharif of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (IGRC) made it clear that the message was especially for ‘the Saudis and Americans’. Iran knows very well they were the masterminds of the Tehran attacks, and that provocation was a large part of the exercise.

Hatred and fear of the “other” are tools of the oppressive profiteers: Ayatollah Khamenei

You know well that humiliation and spreading hatred and illusionary fear of the “other” have been the common base of all those oppressive profiteers.

That the U.S. claims they have established a coalition against ISIS is a lie; of course, the U.S. is against an ‘unrestrained ISIS’, however, if anyone truly seeks to eradicate ISIS, they will have to fight against it.

6 Islamic recommendations on acquiring knowledge, explained by Ayatollah Khamenei

Avoiding knowledge should not be because of lack of desire, or desire for ignorance or shyness. The hadith continues: knowledge which is covered, and not used for spreading, teaching, and acting accordingly, is like a covered lamp. It is ineffective and its light doesn’t benefit anyone.

The West and their Tango with Wahhabism: Western Role in Augmenting Extremism

Why would the West even consider spreading dangerous ideas of Ibne Taymiyyah and Wahhab? And didn’t they take into account the immeasurable destruction that could result from injecting Wahhabi fanaticism into these regions? USA’s entanglement with Saudi Wahhabism has definitely been one heck of a tempestuous tango--so to speak.

Great powers of the world confessed: they can't resist the influence of Iran in West of Asia

The policies of the greatest powers in the world have become trapped in the mud in West Asia. These policies have failed. They themselves say that this failure is because of the influence and power of the Islamic Republic. This is very important. They wanted to impose every disaster that they liked on Iraq and Syria, but they failed. Well, this is very important. This is the same thing that you wanted. This is the same thing that the Revolution wanted. The goals of the Revolution have been attained, but the goals of the US and its allies – not only the US – have not. This is only an example and such victories, capabilities and achievements are many. You should never forget these achievements.

Feel yourselves in the frontlines of fighting

I want to address those revolutionary groups which are interested in revolutionary matters and those which love the Revolution. I want to address those groups which consider the Islamic Revolution as the means for the salvation of the country and for building the future of the country in the real sense of the word. I am addressing these groups. I would like to say to you students that you should feel that you are present in the front lines of this battle. There is a battle which is not over yet and which might not be over in the near future either. It might continue to exist for a long time. You should feel that you are present in the front lines of this battle. You should see the scene of conflict. One of the grave mistakes is that some people do not feel and see the scene of conflict. They do not understand it. You should pay attention to the relationship between yourselves and this battle. Students should have a sense of human, national, religious, social and international responsibility. This is what is expected of students.

Do not lose hope over short-lasting failures

Students should not become disappointed at temporary failures. You should pay attention to this. You should not say to yourselves, "We said something, but it did not happen. We had such and such a goal, but it was not achieved." You should not at all allow hopelessness and disappointment to overcome you... During the war too, it occurred many times that the things that we had planned and predicted did not happen. For example, during Operation Ramadhan, we used to think that the operation would succeed. It was summer and the weather was very hot. It was the month of Ramadhan and many of our youths were martyred and the operation failed. But did we become disappointed? Did our youth become disappointed? The same is true of Operation Karbala-4 and the initial Val Fajr operation... If we were supposed to become disappointed with every temporary defeat and retreat, nothing would have been achieved. This should not be the case. Hopelessness should never enter your lives because of some temporary and periodic failures. Jun 7, 2017
