Opens arms to embrace the deceived people by enemies

President Ebrahim Raisi emphasized on Saturday that the government with open arms accepts the ones who were deceived by the enemy.

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.

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.

The anniversary of the Iranian Revolution is celebrated on 22 Bahman, which is the 11th month in the Iranian calendar, and equivalent to 11 February 1979.
