Tehran, IRNA – Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi said on Sunday that the enemy's purpose in designing a new conspiracy is to prevent the country from progressing, adding that the enemies entered the field intending to isolate the country, but they failed in this conspiracy as well.

Speaking in the fourth meeting of the Supreme Council for the Promotion and Development of the Culture of Sacrifice and Martyrdom, President Raisi described attention to the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom and the Basij way of thinking as an essential need of the society and said that if there is a lack of promotion of the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom, other thinking and beliefs replace it. One of the crucial ways to protect the youth of our country is to pay attention to this culture.

Emphasizing the strict and complete implementation of the laws related to the families of martyrs and veterans in all executive bodies, the President stated that possible problems in the implementation of the law should not prevent its implementation, but the existing obstacles should be removed to implement the law and prevent wasted efforts.

Referring to some initiatives taken in Sacred Defense, such as the launching of Rahian-e Noor caravans or the action of the national media in reading the wills of the martyrs, President Raisi added, "We are still far from the ideal point in promoting the culture of Sacred Defense".

In another part of his speech, the President pointed out the media controversy of the West against the Islamic Republic of Iran and said about their double standards, "Although in Iran the issue of Miss Amini's death is being followed up completely and carefully and all the officials have emphasized it, but at the same time, the enemy is trying to divert public opinion by preparing extensive media measures, while a group of Afghan girls are killed in a school by American-backed terrorist groups, and there is no reaction from these self-proclaimed activists! In such a situation, is it acceptable to claim to pursue human rights and women's rights on the part of Westerners?

Describing the enemy's purpose of designing a new conspiracy to prevent the country from progressing, President Raisi said that when the Islamic Republic was overcoming economic problems and becoming more active in the region and the world, the enemies entered the field with the intention of isolating the country, but they failed in this conspiracy as well.
