In further remarks, the senior IRGC general added: "With the grace of God, and the unwavering faith of the great Iranian nation, the Islamic Revolution is standing tall and standing up to the arrogant powers. Thanks to the wise leadership of the Islamic Republic, we are today a major world power in our own right, and we have turned into a role model for the independent freedom-seeking nations of this world. We are the pivot of the Islamic Resistance Movement." 

Speaking at a ceremony in Qom attended by Head of the Executive Council of Lebanon's Hezbollah movement, Seyyed Hashem Safi al-Din, the Deputy Commander of Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) added: "The brave people of Islamic Iran were united in their word and behind their Imam to topple the Pahlavi regime and consign it to the dust bin of history.  If the word unity prevails throughout the Muslim world today, then all the arrogant powers, with all their seeming might, won't be able to stand up to Muslims, and that is a divine promise."
