On Sunday morning, in a meeting with the families of security martyrs, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution addressed the recent Israeli attack on Iran, stating, "The acts of aggression by the Zionist regime two nights ago should neither be exaggerated nor downplayed. It is essential to disrupt the miscalculations of the Zionist regime,"
Iran Press reports.
“They (the Israelis) need to understand the power, determination, and innovation of the Iranian nation and its youth,” he added.
He said the Iranian authorities are in charge of deciding the quality of Iran's show of power to the Israeli regime.
Ayatollah Khamenei underscored the importance of security as a foundational pillar in all aspects of society and everyday life. He emphasized, "Only a strong Iran can ensure and guarantee the security and progress of the country and its people. Therefore, Iran must become stronger every day in all economic, scientific, political, defense, and managerial dimensions."
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized "the necessity of disrupting the flawed calculations of the Zionist regime regarding Iran." He stated, "They’re making a miscalculation with respect to Iran. They don't know Iran. They don't know the Iranian youth. They don't know the Iranian people. They still haven't been able to correctly understand the power, capability, ingenuity, and determination of the Iranian people. We need to make them understand these things."
"Of course, our officials should be the ones to assess and precisely apprehend what needs to be done and do whatever is in the best interests of this country and nation. They [the enemy] must be made to realize who the Iranian people are and what the Iranian youth are like," he added.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized that the Iranian people's mindset, motivation, readiness, and courage should be maintained, as these qualities are essential for fostering security.
In explaining the main and essential element of ensuring and maintaining security, he remarked that certain individuals, through a misguided analysis and perception, imagine that refraining from producing tools that could provoke the Arrogant Powers, such as missiles, can bring security for Iran. However, this false belief and perception is in fact telling our nation and officials to keep the country weak in order to maintain security.
Ayatollah Khamenei regarded the tragedy of Iran's occupation during the First and Second World Wars, despite the nation's officially proclaimed neutrality, as an outcome of the misguided policies implemented by incompetent or treacherous and subservient leaders. He further asserted that by neglecting the true sources of power, these rulers relegated the Iranian nation to a state of humiliation and weakness, where they were incapable of ensuring their own security.
