At the beginning of his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized the importance of sustaining and strengthening Basij across generations, describing it as a “great wealth” and a vital source of national power.
He highlighted the active role of youth in the fourth generation of Basij and emphasized that the movement is not limited to a specific group, but spans all sectors of society, including defense, economy, science, and healthcare.
Meanwhile, the Leader referred to the rumors spread that Iran, through some other country, has sent messages to the U.S.; sterssing that "this is an absolute lie; such a thing never happened."
"Americans even betray their own allies, those who consider themselves friends of the U.S. They support the criminal Zionist gang ruling over Palestine," he pointed out.
For the sake of oil and underground resources, they are willing to ignite wars anywhere in the world. Today, this warmongering has even reached Latin America. Such a government is certainly unworthy of any relationship or cooperation with a state like the Islamic Republic."
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution highlighted the growing isolation of the U.S. in the world, stating: "U.S. interventions in various parts of the globe are among the factors that increasingly isolate America on the international stage. Even if some heads of state flatter it, the U.S. is becoming more and more despised among nations. Wherever it has intervened, the result has been war, genocide, destruction, and displacement. These are the outcomes of America's involvement."
He cited the Ukraine war as one of the numerous failed U.S. intervention along with its support for Israeli attacks on Lebanon, Syria, the West Bank, and Gaza, calling it a source of disgrace:
"The war in Ukraine was instigated by the U.S., yet it failed to achieve its goals. The current American president had claimed the issue would be resolved in three days, but now, about a year later, they are trying to impose a 28 point plan by force on the very country they dragged into war."
Referring to the U.S.-Israeli June 12-day war on Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei stated that in the recent conflict, Iran defeated both the U.S. and Israel, as neither achieved their objectives and both returned "beaten."
He emphasized that the enemy's losses were far greater, and that America's reliance on advanced weaponry failed to produce results, which in turn further strengthened Iranian unity.
