An important message from the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the National Day of Resistance against Global Arrogance.
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Today is the national day of resistance against global arrogance - a day that embodies a series of key moments when the front of truth stood against the front of lies, and the oppressed stood against the oppressors. This year, on November 13, the Iranian nation has a clearer and more transparent understanding of its position towards criminal America. However, reflection on the roots, causes and turning points of America's growing hostility, as well as the steadfast unity of the Iranian people in resisting it, serves as a guiding light for the future path forward. The origins of America's oppression against the Iranian people date back seven decades, when it orchestrated the August 28 coup to ensure the continued looting of the nation's resources and wealth, especially its oil. In the decades that followed, until the victory of the Islamic Revolution, American rulers made ceaseless efforts to exploit Iran's assets. To this end, they established SAVAK and imposed a heavy security atmosphere on society, thereby giving the oppressive regime greater freedom to suppress any form of resistance. On the eve of the glorious victory of the Islamic Revolution, they resorted to every conceivable tactic to preserve their regime. After the revolution, their hostile actions against the Iranian people are too numerous to list: supporting separatist groups, coup plotters and fanatical extremists who brutally murdered countless ordinary citizens alongside intellectuals, political and social leaders; providing direct and unconditional support to Saddam's Baath regime during the first imposed war; Massacre of civilians on board a civilian airliner; imposing prolonged and severe economic sanctions; orchestrated and supported numerous rebellions and insurrections, even supplying them with arms; Assassination of General Soleimani, a national hero of Iran and the Islamic world; Theft of Iranian assets in different countries; And finally, the launching of direct military attacks in the second and third Motal Wars, which resulted in the martyrdom of countless Iranian intellectuals, scientists, commanders and ordinary citizens - from babies. For the elderly - with the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution at their head.
Throughout these stages, America's arrogant leaders and their partners have consistently sought to impose their control and subjugate Iran. In their latest attempts at coercion, they have abandoned all pretense and hypocrisy, with an open aim to split the country, subjugate its people, dismantle its system and destroy Iran's ancient and authentic civilization. However, at every step, they encountered the uncompromising reality on the ground and the unwavering determination of the brave Iranian people, and as a result their miscalculations and delusions became heavy burdens borne by the American population and their regimes. Now, the longstanding hostility between America and the Iranian Muslim people, along with the courageous resistance of all Iranians against this adversary, has made not only November 13th but every day and hour a time of steadfastness and struggle against the "Great Satan." The Persian Gulf region, especially the Strait of Hormuz, has once again proven the futility of America's invincibility myth, exposing the weakness and helplessness of regimes that rely on forces that are not their own people, as well as the treachery and impotence of the great powers in protecting their puppets. Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz and the elimination of US military bases in the region, although they are a response to America's aggression during the Third Imposed War, also constitute a preliminary jihad against global arrogance on a regional scale - one that will expand significantly if further transgressions occur. This demonstration of strength, combined with the unity of the forces of truth and the wise and determined acts of heroism of the resistance front - from Palestine and Lebanon to Iraq and Yemen - heralds a promising dawn for the victory of the truth front and paves the way for a new world order. For whenever the front of truth rests on trust in God, perseverance and self-sacrifice, the front of the lie - no matter its strength or resources - will inevitably falter, retreat and ultimately perish, as it is written: "Indeed, the lie will disappear."
