As to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei’s stance on the unrest in Iran, Raisi said that his administration follows the fatherly attitude of the Supreme Leader and opens arms to accept the deceived people.
The arms should remain open for all who have found out that they were misled by the enemies, he said, adding that the foes seek to deprive the Iranian nation of independence and freedom and that the Iranians are well aware that the enemies do not want to give us life and freedom.
The enemies speak of women's rights, but thanks to the Islamic Revolution, Iranian women are playing key roles at universities and in different social, political, and economic arenas, the president argued.
Addressing Iranians in the large gathering of the commemoration of the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution at Azadi Square, downtown Tehran, Raisi noted that Bahman 22nd is the day of the victory of righteousness over evil and the day of the victory of the oppressed over the oppressors, as well as the day of realization of the miracle of the century.
He made the remarks in marking the 44th victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, noting that this is the day of triumph for those, who have hoped for the establishment of a government under the name of religion and they have always made all-out strides toward this goal.
The day of ending tyranny and dependence as well as the beginning of independence, freedom, and the Islamic Republic was the day of materialization of the will and demand of the great nation of Iran, he underscored.
Today, the people have come to renew their allegiance to the late Imam Khomeini, the Supreme Leader, the martyrs, and the sublime ideals of the Islamic Revolution and show that the allegiance is higher than votes, the president noted.
Raisi also said that today is the day of showcasing national coherence and unity and that hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets of cities and villages to show that they abide by their commitments and allegiance.
We have not come together on Bahman 22nd to merely commemorate the great day but to tell that the popular support once more brought failure of the enemies and the victory of the Revolution front, he said.
As to the former regime in Iran, Raisi said that the Pahlavi regime brought about backwardness for the Iranians and that the then rulers came to power by resorting to a coup, so they pursued to appease the global arrogance, particularly the United States.
Following the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iran reached significant achievements in scientific, technological, economic, defense, and healthcare sectors, he argued.
The US follows up on the MKO terrorists, who martyred over 17,000 Iranians, he said, adding that the US Congress removed the terrorist group from its blacklist, which is a scandalous measure by the Americans.
The enemies tried to hatch a plot and create unrest to stop the Iranians’ progress in all fields, but the Islamic Iran goes ahead and experiences growth in various arenas, he noted, adding that today’s Iran provides women with great opportunities in all political, social, cultural and scientific areas, while the Western societies try to apply women as a tool.
