Iran revealed its unique steadfastness to world

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with the families of the martyrs of the Israeli aggression during the 12-day imposed war on Iran, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).

Extending his condolences to the bereaved families of the military commanders, scientists, and other people martyred in the recent war, the Leader noted: "In addition to the great honors Iranian nation achieved in these 12 days, which the whole world acknowledges today, it was able to show the world its strength, endurance, determination, and willpower, so that everyone now feels the power of the Islamic Republic firsthand."

Ayatollah Khamenei highlighted the disclosure of the unparalleled strength of the Islamic Republic as another advantage of the recent war, adding: "These events were not unprecedented for us, and over the past 46 years, in addition to the eight-year imposed war, the Islamic Republic has repeatedly faced coups, various military, political, and security seditions, and has neutralized all the enemy's conspiracies."

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution noted "religion" and "knowledge" as two pillars the Islamic Republic was built on and said: "By relying on these two pillars, the Iranian people and youth forced the enemy to retreat in various fields, and they will continue to do so from now on."

Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the main reason for the opposition of the US-led global arrogance with the Islamic Republic to be religion, knowledge, and the unity of Iranians under the shadow of the Quran and Islam, and said: What they present as nuclear weapons, enrichment, and human rights is an excuse, and the main reason for their discomfort and opposition is the emergence of a new discourse as well as the capabilities of the Islamic Republic in various fields of science and humanities, technology, and religion.

Emphasizing that the Iranian nation will not abandon its religion and knowledge, with God's help, Ayatollah Khamenei added: "We will take great steps to strengthen our religion and expand and deepen our various knowledge and we will be able to bring Iran to the peak of progress and glory."

The meeting of the Leader of Islamic Revolution with the families of the martyrs was held on 40^th day after the 12-day Israeli attack that led to the martyrdom of over a dozen military commanders and nuclear scientists as well as hundreds of the people from all walks of life.
