The world remembers 64th anniversary of the west-sponsored coup in Iran

Peaceful, tolerant and socially oriented Islam was seen as a tremendous threat, at least in London, Washington, and Paris. It had to be stopped, even destroyed - resolutely and by all available means. Only the pre-approved Wahhabism, which was collaborative with the West and from the onset at least partially ‘co-produced’ by the British Empire, was singled-out and allowed to ‘bloom and succeed’.

Those who said you'd be captives forever were tossed into history's trash bin

On the anniversary day in remembrance of war captives' and their homecoming, Khamenei.ir publishes excerpts from Imam Khamenei's speech, made during an assembly with Iranians once held captive by Saddam's regime:

Do this if you wish to meet Imams: Ayatollah Khamenei's recommendations for pilgrims

This is the meaning of making a pilgrimage; a pilgrimage is a meeting. When I visit you in your home, we have actually come to meet; the same is true when visiting the Imams (pbut). One should greet them and salute them; such a spirit should also be upheld when visiting Infallible and the friends of God; one should offer greetings and salute them.

US Stop Meddling Elsewhere, Solve Issues of Non-Whites

If you are a powerful state, then go manage your own country! If you really care, then tackle the insecurities and violence on the streets of Washington DC, New York City, and Los Angeles! If you really care, go fix racial discrimination and the disastrous violations of human rights for both whites and blacks in your own country! Mind your own business, rather than meddling with other nations' affairs!

Human values have been trampled upon in America: Ayatollah Khamenei

Today, as the Americans themselves acknowledge, the U.S. government and the U.S. system have drifted miles away from human values. Human values have been trampled upon in that country. There is discrimination, differentiation, racism and annihilation of human rights in America.

Martyrdom of youth fighting against ISIS strikes blows to terrorists: Ayatollah Khamenei

Our border guards who are martyred in border areas have delivered many blows to the enemy. They have prevented the enemies from infiltrating, from hatching their plots and from implementing their corrupt measures. The youth who are martyred while fighting against DAESH and protecting the Imams' (a.s.) shrines- deliver a hundred blows to them. Before being martyred, they prevent them from advancing, they frustrate their goals and they create a disastrous situation for them: They "slay and are slain."

Human Rights industry opts for turning a blind eye to Nigerian govt's massacre of its people

It is hard to envisage complaints made at the Human Rights Council of the United Nations. The Human Rights Council of the United Nations has Saudi Arabia as a member, a country which is certainly responsible in part at least for the persecution of Sheikh-Zakzaky and Nigerian Shiites.

Protect people's varying viewpoints and let them live in peace: Ayatollah Khamenei

The people have different tastes and viewpoints. Very well, we should allow the people to lead a peaceful life together despite their various tastes and viewpoints. Different tastes and viewpoints do not necessarily mean exchanging blows and being in conflict with one another. They can lead a good life next to one another and they can have various opinions.

Strengthening indigenous identity is the way to confront imperialism: Ayatollah Khamenei

American authors have written at length about the pressures US exerted against the Natives. The English, too, hunted people, for pleasure, like animals and like kangaroos. They did not attach any value on the lives of human beings.

Without women social movements won't progress: Ayatollah Khamenei

The primary shortcoming of the resistance groups is their lack of unity: analyst

Until the various political and religious factions can work together to end the occupation, it will continue. This is true for resistance and protest movements across the world. Differing outlooks, different methods and the refusal to compromise harms everyone. The primary focus of all factions now must be to end the occupation.

The Islamic Revolution moved the people from the periphery into the center

From the beginning of the Revolution, the people of Iran have played their role 12 times in electing the highest-ranking officials of the country...Moreover, the people's choices and votes have brought about 10 Islamic Consultative Majlises, five city and village councils and five Assemblies of Experts. All these have been achieved thanks to the Revolution. Our new generation should not forget certain things. We experienced the pre-revolutionary era with all our being. Before the victory of the Revolution, the people did not have any role in the management of the country and in the appointment of managers. Heads of countries, monarchs, kings and their cohorts used to come and go, but the people were mere spectators. They did not have any role. The Islamic Revolution came and moved the people from the periphery into the center. This way, the people were given the power to choose everything.
