Today, while celebrating the 46th anniversary of the resounding triumph of the Islamic Revolution we can say with confidence that as Iran marches steadily towards the pinnacle of progress in all spheres, the future appears brighter than ever. 

For a nation that defeated the plots unleashed by the US over the past four-and-a-half decades, including the dream of the devils to destroy the Islamic Republic and re-establish US hegemony, we feel indebted to the spirit of resistance breathed into the nation by the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA). 

Indeed Iran has come a long way from those memorable days of 1979 and despite the intensification of the illegal American sanctions achieved astounding progress.

A glance at the past forty-six years reveals the declining power of the US and its clients in the region.

The retarded minds in Washington wanted to block the export of the Islamic Revolution, which Imam Khomeini had described as “Burst of Light”. 

They have clearly failed, and Insha Allah (God Willing) in the near future will retreat from the region.

Among the objectives of the Islamic Revolution is resistance against arrogant powers and their oppression. The campaign against arrogance stems from Islam’s opposition to any type of oppression against others or yielding to oppression. In other words, on the one hand, Islam opposes oppression against others and on the other hand, it advises people not to yield to oppression and fight it. 

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei has correctly analysed the hostility of Global Arrogance against the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, saying that the US is the most manifest example of oppression. He has pointed out that the enmity and plots against Iran and the Iranian people started from the very day of the victory of the Islamic Revolution. 

The archenemies were, and still are, the US and the illegal Zionist entity. 

The Islamic Revolution of Iran, with its stand against domestic despotism and foreign hegemony, presented the greatest challenge to the domineering powers. No wonder, the Ideals of the Islamic Revolution instilled in not just the Iranian people, but the people of the region, the lofty values of Islam as a practical way of life in the modern era, such as social justice and of refusal to yield to the exploitative powers. 

This obviously made the political equations of Global Arrogance go awry. This was the reason the US instead of waking up to the realities, adopted a completely hostile attitude to the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic of Iran, along with its accomplices in Western Europe and the Third World, in the vain hope of overthrowing the popular religious system of government in Iran.  

The US, finding Islamic Iran firm and steadfast despite its pressures and plots, is now trying more idiotic tricks that are bound to fail as well, despite its ordering of the Zionist entity to commit the 15-month genocide in Gaza, cowardly kill senior Palestinian and Lebanese leaders, and install a terrorist clique in Syria.

The graver the plots of the US, the stronger has become the spirit of resistance of the Iranian Muslim people, making the US lose hope in re-imposing its hegemony on Iran, although it has not given up its plots against the Iranian people. 

As pointed out recently by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, the intensity and multiplicity of threats against Iran, actually shows the power of the Islamic system, and its defeat these intricate conspiracies hatched by the US. 

Today, full 46 years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the grassroots movement of the Iranian Muslims continues its enlightening task of awakening the masses in the region and beyond. It has imparted to them the concept of self-dignity, thereby forcing Global Arrogance to realize that it cannot defeat even an unarmed nation and barehanded people that are fully determined to achieve their goals and unwilling to accept the hegemony of the domineering powers.
