Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the diplomatic apparatus is expected to publicize the new word of the Islamic Republic in the international dialogue.
In a meeting with ambassadors of the Islamic Republic abroad and foreign minister, the Supreme Leader said the Islamic Republic of Iran has developed a dialogue in light of public participation in governing system and the divine values.
The Supreme Leader acknowledged that diplomacy is the scene of confrontation and challenge due to interest conflict, and said Iranian ambassadors working for the diplomatic apparatus have missions beyond the ordinary diplomatic ones, for they represent a governing system with which the arrogant powers have developed a basic dispute.
Grand Ayatollah said that the front of the world arrogance are afraid of the name of Islam, because Islam calls for campaign against tyranny, aggression and occupation citing the concern expressed by the arrogant powers about the Islamic symbols of the uprisings in the Arab world and victory of the Islamists in the aftermath democratic elections.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the arrogant powers have exercised extensive hostility against the Islamic Republic of Iran and the progress made in science and technology over the past 30 years.
'The young scientists of Iran who have made breakthrough in science and technology including the nuclear and nanotechnology are proud of being a Basij (volunteer forces) member. That's why the arrogant powers have targeted Islam.'
Ayatollah Khamenei said the current status of the Islamic Republic indicates that promises of God Almighty have come true, so that the slogans of the Iranian nation in the early stage of the Islamic Revolution are being heard in the countries which have made enmity with Iran over the past 30 years.
“This is the real indication of progress and national power.”
His eminence stated that aspirations of Iranian nation have blossomed out in the Middle East, the Persian Gulf and North Africa proving Allah's promise of help for Iranian nation, the regions which have tolerated hardship because of enmity of the arrogant powers for paving the path of truth and belief in God.
The Supreme Leader said the Iranian diplomats will come out victorious from the negotiating table when they put forward their logic faithfully, so that they will impose their logic on the other side something which is possible with reliance upon blessings of Allah.
He said the Islamic awakening in the Islamic countries and mainly the Arab world is a reality, and revolutions are underway in those countries.
The Leader cited the developments of the Arab world in 1960s and in Eastern Europe in 1990s and said the current revolutions in the region and the chains of (Occupy) protests in the western countries are of high magnitude.
His eminence noted that strong presence of the people in the protest scenes and the United States crackdown are the two basic differences of the current public protests.
'Some believe that the US is behind the current uprisings in the Arab states just like those who believed that the US was behind the Islamic revolution 30 years ago. It proved not right.'
Elaborating on the revolution in Egypt, Ayatollah Khamenei said the US did not dislike replacing Hosni Mubarak with a democrat and popular figure, but, the fact is that if a real democrat and popular individual takes office in Egypt, he will absolutely oppose the United States and the Zionists.
'What is going on in the region is the Islamic Awakening. Of course, it does not mean that they will follow the model of Iran or the Islamic Republic of Iran,' the Supreme Leader said.
