Leader’s Speech to People of Qom

The propaganda on human rights is aimed at presenting a distorted image of Iran to the world

The enemy wants to create economic problems for our people. It wants to create trouble for our government officials through such things as sanctions. But they have been unsuccessful. They try to make other countries, governments and peoples afraid of the Iranian nation. All the propaganda by the Americans and Zionists about human rights, the nuclear issue and the imaginary atomic bomb is broadcast with the purpose of presenting a distorted image of the Iranian nation to the countries of this region. But they have been unsuccessful, and this is evidenced by America's defeat in Palestine, Afghanistan and Iraq. Who defeated America? America was defeated by the appropriate policies adopted by nations. They say that Iran is their enemy in different regional issues. Their enemy is not Iran. The influence of the Islamic Republic of Iran is spiritual. Yes, the power of the Islamic Republic awakens nations. There is no doubt in this regard.

We need to compensate for the past delays

We must pursue this path. We need to be determined. We need to change the wrong orders that have brought about backwardness for nations, especially our nation. We need to make up for the backwardness we have suffered so far. All these things require determination and hope. If a nation loses hope in the future or its determination to open up new paths and move towards the goals is undermined, it will lose its dignity. The Iranian nation needs to preserve this determination all the time and increase this hope on a daily basis. Our country has this attitude.

Pahlavi regime granted capitulation to the US

Americans had tens of thousands of agents in Iran. The exact number is not important - fifty thousand, sixty thousand or more. They were political, security and military agents. They were among the people who used to manage Iran - in the army, in intelligence organizations, planning centers and different other places. They used to charge the Iranian government several times more, but they used to work for America. This was a bad thing that happened in our country. Because it was dependent on America and acted as an American mercenary, the satanic Pahlavi regime had gradually allowed those agents to enter the country over a number of years. This was already bad enough, but what happened next was even worse: They approved a law in the parliament of that time, which granted immunity to American agents so that they could not be prosecuted by Iranian courts, judiciary and security organizations. This is called legal immunity. When foreigners are allowed to enter a country and do whatever they like, when the courts and police force of a country are unable to do anything to stop foreigners, it shows that the country is suffering from an extreme form of weakness and dependence. Legal immunity was what the Americans demanded from the satanic Pahlavi regime, and it was given to them on a silver platter. Nov 3, 2010

Leader’s Speech to Executive Officials of Qom

During the Pahlavi period, there was dictatorship as well as dependency

In scientific areas, they kept us backward for a period of 100-150 years. The same is true of industrial areas as well as different social areas. Similarly, corrupt, tyrannical, immoral, greedy and dependant governments wreaked havoc on this country during the few decades before the Revolution. One day it was only tyranny and dictatorship - such as the tyranny of Nasser al-Din Shah and the tyranny of Fath Ali Shah - but there was no dependence. However, there was also a day when the situation of this country got so bad that tyranny was accompanied by serving foreigners and bullying and pressuring the people… Our country was in this situation for many years. Our people were living under the pressure of corrupt, tyrannical and greedy governments for many years. Reza Shah grabbed the ownership of any developed piece of land in all parts of the country - in Mazandaran, in Khorasan and in many other parts of the country. They accumulated wealth. They accumulated property. They accumulated jewelry for themselves. At the end, they fled from the country and took some of our national wealth with them.
