Iran Press/Iran news: "Today, we need to stand together on February 11 more than ever and tell our enemies that we have stood by our revolution for 41 years and that we will be in the path of the revolution, Imam [Khomeini] and a Supreme Leader until the day we are alive,” Hassan Rouhani said speaking on Wednesday at cabinet session.
The President described the presence of the people on the stage as the key to victory, and weakening dictatorship and defeating ill-wishing against the Iranian people, emphasizing that, "The key to resolving our society’s problems and resisting hostilities is unity and trust and confidence between the system and the people."
Hassan Rouhani said, "Today, we need to stand together on February 11 more than ever and tell our enemies that we have stood by our revolution for 41 years and that we will be in the path of the revolution, Imam [Khomeini] and a Supreme Leader until the day we are alive.”
"Nobody above the law," Rouhani stated, noting "We must keep unity and publicize facts, gov’t services."
Rouhani stated, "The climax of our Islamic Movement was since the beginning of the year 1962 when our dear people stepped on the stage. Any day that people came to the stage, that day was the climax of the Revolution and weakening dictatorship and defeating the ill willing against the Iranian people."
"After the Revolution, every day that people came to the stage was the day of our victory. People’s presence is big social capital. That is, the day when the people took to the streets with the 100% trust they had on the leaders of the Islamic Movement and especially our dear Imam [Khomeini] and stood up to the then regime that was armed to the teeth and achieved victory. Imam relied on people," the high ranking official made the remark.
The President highlighted, "He did not let any division happen between people and the armed forces of that regime, but with the attraction he had. He attracted all of the other side’s forces and –except a few specific ones- he forgave them."
"If it were not for Imam Khomeini's moderation and attraction, radical groups and hardliners would have torn the country and people apart. I believe that the main key to resolving problems and resisting enmities is people’s presence and unity. This means that we must not let this social capital be hurt."
Rouhani noted, "Events come and go and different things happen. Today is the Majlis election time, and tomorrow is presidential election time, and the day after that it is the Assembly of Experts’ turn. We must view our national unity and trust as long-term goals."
The President concluded, "To this day, the US has not been able to attract even its ally, which is Europe. That is, the White House wanted to attract Europe from the first day to undermine the nuclear deal, but Europe did not accompany it, and they failed again in recent months."
