Ayatollah Khamenei Warns US, Israel of Crushing Response
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei reminded the enemies, including the US and the Zionist regime, that they will definitely receive a crushing reaction to what they are doing against Iran and the resistance front.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remark at a meeting with a group of students of all ages, including university students, from across Iran at the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah of Tehran on Saturday, November 2.
In the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei elucidated the fundamental grounds for the Iranian nation’s battle against the oppression and excessive demands of the United States, spanning over 70 years.
The Leader emphasized that the Islamic, national, rational, wise, and humane resistance displayed by the Iranian nation against US Arrogance, in line with international laws, will continue with a correct roadmap and without negligence or delay. On this victorious path, any hostile actions taken against the Iranian nation by the Zionist regime and the United States will be met with a crushing response.
The Leader pointed out the continuous and unwavering efforts of the Iranian nation and officials in confronting Global Arrogance. “The general movement of the nation and officials against Global Arrogance and the criminal system governing the current world order is a logical one, in line with religion, ethics, Islamic and international laws,” he stated, khamenei.ir reported.
The Leader described the Iranian nation’s fight against Global Arrogance as a permanent endeavor. “Designating a day as the National Day of Fighting Against Global Arrogance is, in fact, to ensure that this historic battle will not be forgotten. This is especially significant given the attempts by certain people to sow doubt in the nation’s courageous and conscious efforts to stand up and fight against the US and its proxies in the region, and subsequently to deny this opposition,” he highlighted.
Addressing efforts by certain individuals to question the authenticity of the seizure of the US embassy in Tehran, known as Spy Den, the Leader affirmed that the US embassy in Tehran, as evidenced by the seized documents, functioned as a command center for instigating counter-Revolutionaries, remnants of the Shah’s SAVAK, sowing discord, inciting ethnic conflicts, plotting a coup, threatening the life of Imam Khomeini (RA), and undermining the Revolution. “This reality remains unchanged, even if some of those involved in the incident have developed doubts,” he said.
The Leader further pointed out the revelatory nature of the documents discovered in the US Spy Den, urging the youth to carefully examine them.
He described the seizure of the US Spy Den as a turning point, a historic and unforgettable event, due to the revelation of the true nature of the American embassy. “It was for this reason that Imam Khomeini, with his all-pervading insight, approved of the students’ action,” he added.
The Leader also criticized individuals who seek to portray the actions of the Iranian people against imperialism as irrational, adding, “We do not accuse these individuals of treachery. However, when they misrepresent this just, rational movement which aligns with international logic, as illogical, they demonstrate at the very least that they are shortsighted and lacking in foresight.”
He asserted that the Iranian people’s cherished status in the global public opinion, despite the extensive efforts of the hegemonic system’s media system, is a testament to the effectiveness of the Islamic Republic’s successful and rational resistance. “The fact that people in various countries took to the streets in celebration after Operation True Promise indicates that the Iranian nation’s movement is not only in accordance with international logic but also with Islamic and Quranic logic.”
In the continuation of his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that the actions of the enemy will not go unanswered by those who are working to fight them on behalf of the Iranian nation, and that such actions will not be forgotten. He asserted that both the Zionist regime and the United States will undoubtedly receive a crushing response for their actions against the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front.
In the meeting, the Leader also addressed the issue of why the Iranian nation is fighting against Global Arrogance. “Without a doubt, this battle is the result of the oppressive and despicable domination of the US government over Iran and our beloved nation,” he stated.
Referring to certain misguided historians who attribute the beginning of Iran’s opposition with America to the seizure of the US Spy Den, the Leader stated, “That is a lie. This opposition has existed since at least August 19, 1953, because it was on that date that the Americans betrayed the trust of [Prime Minister] Mosaddegh’s national and popular government, overthrowing it in a bloody coup before reinstating the oppressive Pahlavi regime.”
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the establishment of SAVAK, and its training of interrogators in brutal interrogation techniques, along with the presence of tens of thousands of American advisors involved in military and government interference, infiltration, and espionage as other anti-Iranian measures that were undertaken by the US. He highlighted that these actions were designed to humiliate the Iranian nation and assert dominance over Iran.
