Speaking on the occasion of the return of Imam Khomeini to Iran in 1979 at the mausoleum of the founding father of the Islamic Republic late Imam Khomeini in suburban Tehran on Wednesday, Qalibaf said that Islam and the dignity of Muslims are growing and that as the Supreme Leader stated the Islamic Revolution would have not been known anywhere in the world without the great name of Imam Khomeini.
The speaker noted that the reason that the Islamic Republic is going ahead on the correct path is that Imam Khomeini said the enemies’ pressure on Iran shows the country is on the right track, but when the foes are not afraid of the Iranians it is the time to be scared of.
The experiences of 44 years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution showed us that reliance on the divine traditions and the Iranian people would bear fruit, although we are in the middle of our path and have suffered numerous hardships and hostilities, he noted.
As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei stated on the occasion of this year’s anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Republic, there are three criteria of rationality, spirituality, and justice, which are the foundations of Imam Khomeini’s school of thought, so we should go ahead based on these principles, Qalibaf said.
Despite the fact that Shah’s regime was militarily powerful and dependent on the United States, the regime collapsed because Imam Khomeini moved in the path of divine traditions and righteousness, the speaker said.
