Iran Press/ Iran news: Ayatollah Khamenei considered the defense of the shrines as a symbolic aspect of defending the beliefs and aspirations of the shrine owners and the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH).
He emphasized that the high ideals of the School of the Ahl al-Bayt (PBUH), such as justice, freedom, fighting against oppressive powers, and making sacrifices in the path of the truth, have always attracted seekers with pure consciences.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed to the solidarity shown by students at American universities with the people of Gaza as an example of the existence of pure consciences throughout the world. He stressed the importance of conveying the message of defending the shrines, which is the defense of humanity's ideals, to the pure consciences around the world.
Ayatollah Khamenei recognized the Defenders of the Shrines' presence in countries where the enemy had devised a highly dangerous plot as a manifestation of the global outlook of the Islamic Revolution.
He emphasized that the enemy intended to destroy the Islamic system by dominating the region and simultaneously exerting economic, political, ideological, and religious pressures on Iran.
However, a group of faithful young people, with the Islamic Republic at its core, neutralized this costly plot of the Arrogant Powers.
Referring to the brutal, ruthless, and inhumane nature of the ISIS Terrorist Group and groups aligned with it, which were formed with the support of weapons and propaganda from the US and the West, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the goal of these organizations was to destabilize the region, especially Iran, but the Defenders of the Shrine neutralized this significant threat as well.
Ayatollah Khamenei considered the Islamic Revolution's ability to recreate its inherent fervor and enthusiasm from the early days of victory as another aspect of the Defenders of the Shrine movement.
He emphasized that the courage, selflessness, sincerity, and deep belief in religious principles of the young Defenders of the Shrine is an incredible and unparalleled phenomenon that has shown the fallacy of Western-oriented analyses.
