TABNAK, Nov, 02 : “The enemies, both the US and the Zionist regime, should know that they will definitely receive a teeth-breaking response for what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front,” he said in a meeting with students on Saturday.
“We are certainly doing everything necessary to prepare the Iranian nation to stand against arrogance, whether in terms of military readiness, armaments, or political actions, and thank God, our officials are currently engaged in this,” the Leader said.
The overall movement of the Iranian people and the country’s officials, he said, is “definitely and justly aimed at confronting global arrogance and the criminal apparatus that rules today’s world order. Rest assured, there will be no negligence in this regard.”
"This is not merely a matter of revenge but a logical action—an approach aligned with religion, ethics, and the Sharia, in accordance with international regulations," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“The Iranian people and the country’s officials will not hesitate or neglect this course. Rest assured.”
The Leader’s remarks followed vows by officials of the Islamic Republic to deliver a retaliatory response to Israel’s act of aggression targeting two Iranian border cities, Ilam and Khuzestan, as well as central Tehran in the early hours of October 26.
He also referenced the US embassy takeover by Iranian students on November 4, 1979, saying that the US embassy was not merely a site for diplomatic and intelligence activity, but rather, it was the headquarters of plotting to destroy the Islamic Revolution, and even threatening the precious life of the honorable Imam.
Iranian students took over the American embassy in Tehran, also known in Iran as the “Den of Espionage,” less than a year after the Islamic Revolution toppled the US-backed Pahlavi dictatorship in 1979. The occasion was then named the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance, which also marks National Student Day.
Every year on the 13th day of the Iranian month of Aban, the Iranian nation, particularly the students, commemorate the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance by staging rallies across the country, calling on all Muslims and freedom-seeking nations to resist against arrogant powers and not to succumb to their bullying.
“For the Iranian nation, inspired by Islamic teachings, standing up against oppression is a duty. Confronting arrogance is a duty. Arrogance means comprehensive economic, military, and cultural domination and the humiliation of nations,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.
He added that the Iranian people had been humiliated for years and, therefore, will certainly continue their struggle against global arrogance.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the Iranian nation's rational, wise, and logical movement, aligned with human, Islamic, and international principles in confronting arrogance, must continue.
“The continuation of the Iranian nation’s path in confronting arrogance requires knowledge, thought, technology, and a roadmap,” the Leader said.
