Iran’s Supreme Leader warns against plots to undermine Islamic revolution, says arrogant powers and US will suffer defeat

Iran’s Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Thursday that the region’s nations would achieve victory against arrogant powers and warned against plots to undermine the Islamic Revolution.

Speaking during a meeting with the head and members of Iran's Assembly of Experts on Thursday, Sayyed Khamenei vowed that corrupted and arrogant powers and the US will suffer a defeat. “Not only corrupted and despotic rulers but the United States and other world powers with an aggressive nature will finally suffer a defeat by nations and God's promises will come true,” his eminence stressed.

ENEMIES FAILED AGAIN
The spiritual leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed to the failure of enemies with regard to the appointment of the new Assembly of Experts Head Ayatollah Mohammad Reza Mahdavi Kani. “They expected that a difference will be caused among members of the Assembly of Experts,” Sayyed Khamenei said.

His eminence further added that enemies thought that the “service race” will turn into a “negative completion” in an attempt to seize positions, but the issue ended in a way beneficial to Islam and the Islamic Republic thanks to the wise attitude and words of the Assembly's members.

Sayyed Khamenei also praised the wise attitude of former head of the Assembly of Experts Ayatollah Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.

Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani was elected the new chairman of the Assembly by a 63-vote majority on Tuesday. Rafsanjani declined to accept the candidacy for the position and instead supported Ayatollah Mahdavi Kani's candidacy.

NATIONS HEADING TOWARDS VICTORY
Meanwhile, Sayyed Khamenei described Iran's current situation as sensitive amid the new circumstances in the region. His eminence stressed that the great events transpiring in regional countries have just begun and we should perform our important duties by gaining recognition of the various aspects of such occurrences.

Sayyed Khamenei emphasized that “presence of people on the scene” and their “Islamic slogans” are the two most significant characteristics of the ongoing developments in the region, adding that the “tendency of such events have been desired by all sincere Muslims and lofty principles in Iran and other countries of the world.”

Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated that “participation and resilience” of nations “in the field of struggle and danger” will guarantee their victory. “When people, just like what took place in Iran 32 years ago, participate in the battle field, the divine power will reinforce their determination and resolve, and will ascertain their victory.”
