“General Soleimani's struggle in defending the existence of human beings, irrespective of their religious or ethnic identities, saved countless number of innocent people from takfiri groups,” Velayati said while addressing the Haj Qassem International Conference on Monday.
Velayati began his speech by condoling the families of the victims of a terrorist attack during the 4th assassination anniversary of General Soleimani on January 3. “I offer my condolences for the vicious and terrorist act in Kerman and the martyrdom of a group of compatriots”.
He also hailed the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip and congratulated the resistance front for its victories “in confronting the child-killing Zionist regime”.
The advisor to Iran’s leader called the victory of the Islamic Revolution a turning point in bringing awareness among the oppressed people around the world. “The enemies of the revolution had realized the ideological stance of the great Iranian nation under the leadership of Imam Khomeini and a new message of discourse”, he underlined.
Velayati stated that the revolution and the sacred defense in Iran produced the students in the path of the Islamic awakening, and certainly Martyr Soleimani was a distinguished and outstanding student of this school as described by Iran’s supreme leader himself.
He said Soleimani’s efforts resulted in strengthening the initial cores of the resistance and turning it into a powerful front. “Martyr Soleimani, by understanding the realities and conditions of the oppressed people and nations, took into account all the dimensions and sensitivities of each region based on the Islamic Revolution discourse, and by adhering to the values such as justice, freedom, spirituality, ethics, unity, resistance, anti-tyranny, and anti-arrogance, he tried to minimize class, ethnic and religious differences”.
Velayati further noted that General Soleimani exposed the true face of arrogance and colonialism by explaining and interpreting the real goals and evil intentions of the domineering regimes, including Zionism for the region and beyond. “He helped people aware of conspiracies being hatched by the global arrogance”.
The advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader said that strengthening the unity and cohesion among resistance groups, raising the level of resistance, defeating the plots of arrogance, the Zionist regime as well as those by Takfiri groups made General Soleimani a person to be loved by Muslims worldwide.
Ali-Akbar Velayati was among several high-level officials who attended and addressed the conference held just days after the assassination anniversary of Iran’s anti-terror Icon. General Soleimani was assassinated in a US drone strike in 2020 in Baghdad.
