Powerful Iran
"Our eight years of sacred defense are not just a time extension or a period of time; they are a huge treasure that our nation can use, extract, consume, and invest in for a long time." Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution The beginning of Sacred Defense Week is a message of the epic and sacrifice, self-belief, selflessness, courage, and bravery of the glorious warriors of Islamic Iran during the years of sacred defense against the enemies of the fledgling Islamic Republic of Iran.
Undoubtedly, the eight years of the Iranian nation's powerful defense against the hands of the arrogant powers and the Iraqi Baath regime were inspired by the bloody Ashura movement, which, in the words of the Supreme Leader and veteran of the Islamic Revolution, is a treasure that can be enjoyed for years to come. The heroic defense of the heroic nation of Iran, with the brilliant leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA) and the sacrifices of the armed forces and the zealous Basijis, is a lesson for the enemies to forever remove the naive idea of military action against this land from their minds. The sons of the province and warriors of Islamic Iran created epics in this important battleground in defense of their faith and homeland, and with their passionate presence on the fronts of truth against falsehood, they dedicated their precious lives to Islam in accordance with their sincerity.
Referring to the cowardly and criminal attack of the Zionist regime on our country and the success of the brave men of the Iranian defense forces in repelling these attacks, the advisor and assistant to the Supreme Leader said: "The elites showed their scientific power to the world by protecting Iran's airspace. This success is the result of the presence of elite, scientific and brave young people in the missile program and the Iranian defense force." He listed the signs of the decline and decline of the occupying regime in Jerusalem and stated: "The Zionists have violated all red lines and international protocols. The Zionists kill women and children; destroy people's homes, attack schools and hospitals, and use weapons of mass destruction. All these atrocities stem from the weakness of this regime."
Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran, backed by the experiences of eight years of proud sacred defense, has a powerful presence in the region and the world. The war between Iran and the Iraqi Baath regime was a war between right and wrong; today, the Islamic Iran is a sign of anti-arrogance, and this is the greatest lesson that can be learned from the sacred defense. Martyrdom is the culmination of defending the religious values and sacred ideals of the Islamic Revolution, and the martyrs, with their brave sacrifices and dedication, stood up to their deaths in order to raise the security and tranquility of the country so that the flag of security in the proud country of Islamic Iran would always fly high.
Resistance is a school and a discourse and it does not disappear with the martyrdom of its commanders. Just as in the 8 years of our sacred defense, we lost precious martyrs such as Hemmat, Kharrazi, and Bagheri, but because our defense was sacred and based on Islamic teachings, these martyred commanders were quickly replaced and there was no disruption in the course of the war.
