Leader asserts that the US and ‘israel’ will undeniably face a ‘decisive response’

During a meeting with students on Saturday, an official declared that both the United States and Israel should be prepared for a decisive and formidable response to their actions against Iran and its allies in the resistance front.

Iranian authorities have vowed to retaliate against what they described as Israel’s aggressive actions, which reportedly targeted the Iranian border cities of Ilam and Khuzestan, in addition to central Tehran, during the early morning hours of October 26.

Imam Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the action is not simply one of retribution, but rather a calculated measure that aligns with religious, ethical, and Sharia principles while also adhering to international regulations.

During the commemoration of the US embassy takeover by Iranian students on November 4, 1979, referred to as the National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance, the Leader delivered remarks.

The Leader stated that comprehensive measures are being undertaken to equip the Iranian nation to confront any form of arrogance. This includes bolstering military preparedness, enhancing armaments, and executing strategic political initiatives. He noted that, fortunately, Iranian officials are actively engaged in these efforts.

An official statement from Iranian representatives emphasized that both the populace and the nation’s leaders are firmly committed to resisting what they describe as global arrogance and the prevailing criminal structures within the international order. Authorities assured that there will be unwavering diligence in this matter.

Iranian officials and citizens have affirmed their unwavering commitment to this path, ensuring there will be no hesitation or disregard in their pursuit.

He further cited the takeover of the US embassy, asserting that it was not just a center for diplomatic and intelligence operations, but served as the command hub for schemes aimed at dismantling the Islamic Revolution.

In a significant historical event, Iranian students, in November 1979, seized control of the U.S. Embassy in Tehran, referred to locally as the “Den of Espionage.” This dramatic action followed the overthrow of the U.S.-supported Pahlavi regime in the Islamic Revolution, which occurred less than a year prior.

On the 13th of Aban each year, Iranians, with a notable participation from students, organize nationwide rallies to mark the occasion. These gatherings serve as a call to action for Muslims and advocates of freedom worldwide to stand firm against the influence of dominant powers and resist any attempts at coercion.

Ayatollah Khamenei asserted that for the people of Iran, guided by Islamic principles, it is their responsibility to oppose oppression. He emphasized that challenging arrogance, which he defined as the all-encompassing control over economies, military forces, and cultures, as well as the subjugation of nations, is also a duty.

He stated that the Iranian populace has endured years of humiliation and, as a result, is likely to persist in their fight against perceived global arrogance.

Ayatollah Khamenei has underscored the importance of the Iranian nation maintaining its strategic course characterized by rationality, wisdom, and adherence to human, Islamic, and international principles in its ongoing challenge against global arrogance.

The Leader emphasized that the Iranian nation’s ongoing efforts to challenge arrogance necessitate a combination of knowledge, thoughtful consideration, technological advancement, and a strategic plan.
