One of the effects of the Sacred Defense has been the growth and reinforcement of the idea of resistance within the country itself. My dear people, over 30 years have passed since the war. During these 30-odd years, we have been attacked on many occasions. We have seen numerous seditions in different areas, many of which were not noticed by most people. But they took place. Some of them took place before everyone’s eyes as you have witnessed over the years. All these seditions failed due to the Iranian people. Why? Because the Iranian nation has institutionalized the practice of resistance within itself.
