Khorramshahr's liberation was ‘a miraculous event’: Supreme Leader

Tehran, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that the liberation of Khorramshahr was a miraculous event.

He made the remarks during a meeting with Iranian lawmakers, marking the beginning of the last year of the current parliament’s term as well as the anniversary of the liberation of Khorramshahr in the midst of Iraq’s war of aggression against Iran in the 1980s.

“The conquest of Khorramshahr was a miraculous event,” he said, recalling that several presidents and their representatives told him at the time that the event was a game-changer for Iran.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei said “some of the laws that you have approved in the parliament are strategic laws for the country and really deserve respect and praise.”

As an instance, he pointed to the Strategic Action Plan to Counter Sanctions which he said “saved the country from uncertainty regarding the nuclear issue.”

“This law clearly defined what we must do. We are still seeing its signs in the world,” he said.

The Supreme Leader added that the Family and Youth Protection Law is another vital legislation passed into law by the current lawmakers.

Addressing the parliamentarians, Ayatollah Khamenei said he still believes that the current parliament is a “revolutionary parliament” as he had said upon its formation three years ago.
