Salaam dear young friends. Heartiest congratulations to all of you on the anniversary of a very important occasion.
We are on the threshold of the day that changed for good the destiny of Iran. It is the historic 22 of the Iranian month of Bahman, corresponding to February 11 this year.
It is the day on which over two thousand years of monarchic rule was cast into the dustbin of history as Iran and the Iranian people achieved their final victory over domestic despotism and foreign hegemony.
Today, Islamic Iran has stepped into its glorious 44th year, proud of its spectacular achievements of the past four decades in the face of the most intricate plots of Global Arrogance.
It means the toddlers in prams, pushed by their parents, during the huge rallies of 1978-79 against the British-installed and American-backed Pahlavi regime, which we see in the film footage of the decisive days of the Islamic Revolution, are now in the prime of their life.
These mature citizens, whether male or female, now parents themselves and in some cases grandparents, are fully involved in the various spheres of the Iranian society. They have contributed to the Islamic Republic’s astounding progress in medicine, stem cells, aerospace, nuclear energy, heavy industries, oil, gas, and petrochemicals, nano technology, trade, production, culture, media, administration, diplomacy, religious teachings, culture, art, architecture, literature, poetry, drama, artificial intelligence and etc.
They now regularly participate in the Bahman 22 rallies, along with their own children – and of course grandchildren – to reaffirm their allegiance to the Islamic Republic and its leadership.
No matter, how intensive is the adverse propaganda of the US and its minions, who every year try to dissuade people from turning out for the glorious rally, the number of participants continue to grow.
Millions of Iranians of all age groups, including children, teenagers, school and university students, office workers, businessmen, civil servants, officials, ulema, scientists, daily wagers, and even those who for some reason might be jobless, punctually turn up for the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution that has made independent Iran the cynosure of all eyes throughout the world.
It is a beautiful sight to see millions of Hijab-clad women and girls, whether in the full-flowing chadors or in long coat with headscarves, vociferously chanting slogans against the avowed enemies of the Islamic Republic, such as the US (the Great Satan), the illegal Zionist entity, the MKO hypocrites, and the Takfiri terrorists.
No wonder, the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (God bless him), had said those dynamic words: “Our Revolution was explosion of light.”
Enlightened words indeed, and you youngsters, whether at school or at the university, indeed play a vital part in spreading its bright rays in all directions throughout the country and beyond the borders of Iran.
Hoping to meet you in the massive millions-strong rallies in Tehran and other cities. Goodbye and God bless you all.
