TEHRAN(Basirat): On the occasion of the Islamic Revolution's anniversary and the nation's epic turnout, as celebrations took place across the country, Ayatollah Khamenei issued a message, wherein he thanked the people of Iran.
Dear prideful nation of Iran!
Today, your determination and insight created a massive and splendid event.
The
magnificence of your gatherings today—which according to precise
calculations, was greater in number and more passionate than previous
years—was a resolute and staunch response to the nemeses, the enemies,
and the oath breakers.
Relying on their distorted and false
perceptions of Iran and Iranians, the enemies spent all their propaganda
efforts on trying to turn this year's 22nd of Bahman [February 11,
anniversary of Islamic Revolution] into a frigid and anti-revolution
event.
You've exhibited the livelihood and dynamism of the
Islamic Revolution by expressing your adherence to the late Imam
Khomeini's ideals, shouting out our slogans and through your passionate
turnout.
The roar of the Iranian nation will force the enemy to
retreat, and their [the Iranian nation's] resolute willpower will ruin
their [the enemy's] wrongful calculations.
The authorities of
the country should appreciate this unique phenomenon: they should serve
the nation and defend the ideals of the revolution through comprehensive
resistance, revolutionary spirit, and selfless endeavor.
The
future belongs to our vigilant and insightful nation; we, the officials,
must not lag behind the nation, we must keep up with them.
"Do not weaken or grieve: you shall have the upper hand, should you be faithful.
