Iranians’ Presence in Revolution Anniversary Rallies to Foil Enemy Plots: Minister

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Interior Minister Abdolreza Rahmani Fazli has highlighted the importance of the upcoming rallies marking the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, saying that massive presence of the people would thwart enemy conspiracies.
The enemies’ campaign against rallies marking the 1979 Islamic Revolution anniversary and their focus on "sinister goals such as the overthrow of the (Islamic) Establishment before the 40th anniversary of the revolution” double the importance of holding the ceremonies gloriously, Rahmani Fazli said in a speech.
"It is because the presence of the people and their support for the country have always caused the despair and disappointment of the enemies and the hegemonic system,” he added.
The interior minister further hailed the people as "the strongest element against the enemy”, saying, "The glory of the people’s presence on the February 11 (rallies) will foil the enemy's conspiracy."
In a speech in December 2018, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei dismissed comments by U.S. officials that the Islamic Republic would not see its 40th anniversary, saying the Iranian nation will celebrate the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Revolution this year more magnificently than before.
