TEHRAN(Basirat): Leader's remarks were released and read at the said conference that was held in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan today (February 13).
In a February 5 meeting with the
organizers of a conference to commemorate the martyrs of the
southeastern province of Sistan and Balouchestan, the Leader praised the
"brotherly ties” among the people of the province as "a symbol of
Islamic unity” and a role model for the world’s Shiites and Sunni
Muslims.
Leader's remarks were released and read at the said
conference that was held in Iran's southeastern city of Zahedan today
(February 13).
"The martyrdom of a Sunni young man in the
Sacred Defense (the Iraqi imposed war on Iran in 1980s)… indicates that
the Shiites and Sunni brothers in the Islamic Republic side each other
in most difficult battlefields,” Ayatollah Khamenei said at the meeting.
The Leader further urged that the reality about the unity
among Iranian Shiites and Sunnis should be highlighted and showcased
through cultural and artistic works.
Ayatollah Khamenei further
referred to the enemies’ plots to undermine the Islamic Republic’s
power and said the resistance of the country against "the modern
barbarism”, economic sanctions, and all military and cultural
conspiracies of the enemies has its roots in the power of religious
beliefs of the Iranian people.
The Leader has on many occasions
urged vigilance in the face of enemy ploys to gain a political and
cultural foothold in Iran, warning that the consequences of such
infiltration would be much worse than that of enemy’s economic
influence.
"Economic and security infiltration is of course
dangerous and has dire consequences, but the enemy’s political and
cultural infiltration (into Iran) is a much more serious threat that
everyone should be vigilant about,” Ayatollah Khamenei said back in
September 2015.
As part of plans for cultural infiltration, the
enemy has made heavy investment to gradually change the Iranian
people’s beliefs, the Leader explained at the time.
