TEHRAN -- Leader of the
Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Tuesday that the Zionist regime of Israel and the U.S. are “completely wrong” to imagine the Axis of Resistance had collapsed with the ouster of President Bashar al-Assad and other developments.
“With the developments in Syria and the crimes the Zionist regime is committing and the crimes that America is committing, and the help that some others are giving to them, they thought that the resistance was over,” he said in a televised speech. “They are completely wrong.”
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the spirit of Hezbollah head Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and Hamas chief Yayhya Sinwar lives on despite their assassination by the Zionist enemy.
“Their bodies have left, but martyrdom has not erased them from existence. Their spirit and ideas remain, and their path continues,” the Leader said.
He touched on the steadfastness of the Gazans in the face of daily attacks of the Zionists and the ongoing resistance in Lebanon.
The Leader said, “The Zionist regime assumes it is preparing itself by way of Syria to surround and eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon, but it is Israel that will be eradicated.”
Ayatollah Khamenei also emphasized Iran’s steadfastness in standing with the Palestinian resistance fighters and Hezbollah combatants, reaffirming the nation’s dedication to providing support and assistance.
The Leader expressed hope that the day will come when the fighters will see the evil enemy getting trampled under their feet.
The Leader made the remarks during a meeting with a group of women from different walks of life in Tehran on the eve of celebrations commemorating the birth anniversary of Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra (SA), the beloved daughter of Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him).
Ayatollah Khamenei hailed her a remarkable phenomenon in creation.
“It is remarkable and extraordinary that a young woman can attain such a spiritual and celestial identity, to the extent that, as narrated by both Shias and Sunnis, her anger represents the anger of God, and her satisfaction reflects the pleasure of the Almighty,” the Leader said.
He described some of her unique qualities, including her role in “comforting the Prophet during difficult times”, “accompanying the Commander of the Faithful [Imam Ali (AS] in jihad”, “engaging in worship in such a way that captivated the angels”, “delivering eloquent, articulate, and fiery sermons”, and “raising Imam Hassan (AS), Imam Hussein (AS) and Sayyida Zaynab (SA).”
Sayyida Fatimah al-Zahra (SA)’s childhood, youth, marriage, and life, the Leader said, all serve as the highest, most beautiful models that represent the pinnacle of a Muslim woman.
The Leader addressed diverse perspectives surrounding the issue of women globally.
He said, “Capitalism and the politicians aligned with it, by controlling the world’s influential media and through dishonesty and lies, conceal their criminal and corrupt motives for interfering in and manipulating women’s affairs worldwide, all for gaining illegitimate profits, under the guise of a philosophical and humanitarian theory.”
Dishonesty and hypocrisy are perennial tactics employed by Western imperialists and capitalists, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
He cited on the exploitation of women in factories to fulfill demand for cheap labor in industries all under the guise of promoting women’s freedom and independence as a prime example of this hypocrisy.
Ayatollah Khamenei hailed the role played by Iranian women in the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, as well as during Iraq’s imposed war in the 1980s and the defense of holy shrines in Syria and Iraq.
He also praised women’s activities in political, international, and scientific arenas.
The enemy, the Leader said, resorted to soft methods such as propaganda, and insincere and tempting slogans, after they came to realize that Iran’s Revolution cannot be defeated via hard methods such as war, bombing, sectarianism, and sedition.
The Leader advised women to watch out “temptations, malicious methods, and the soft war of ill-wishers” aimed at deviating them from values.
