TEHRAN, Apr. 25 (MNA) – Leader of Islamic Revolution has urged presidential candidate not to count on foreigners for development of the country and economic prosperity.

Addressing a meeting of Iranian officials and ambassadors of Islamic countries on Tuesday morning, The Leader also congratulated the auspicious occasion of Eid al-Mab'ath as the anniversary of the appointment of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to prophethood. “The mission of Muhammad began in a world immersed in darkness, ignorance, oppression and arrogance and the Prophet formed a government based on justice and unity which was applicable to all societies in all times and can mark fundamental infrastructure of the greatest human civilization.

Ayatollah Khamenei asserted “as previously stated, candidates need to make the promise to the people that, for development of the country, economic prosperity and resolving issues, they will restrain from looking outside borders and will mainly rely on the nation.”

At another part of their remarks, the Iranian Leader recalled that when the Islamic Republic emerged, a branch of divine ruling emerged which is still persisting. “Enemies of human societies began to fight against Islam which is the main source of development in society while Islam is capable of putting an end to the injustice against humanity.”

Ayatollah Khamenei later underscored that today, US and Zionists are leading these hostilities adding “they are taking up the most violent struggle against the Islamic Republic of Iran due to the fact that Islam is more outstanding here and ground are further prepared for practical adherence to it.”

Ayatollah Khamenei urged authorities of Islamic countries to develop a clear understanding as to the main reason behind hostility of arrogant powers against Islam. “Islamic states need to understand that the America gets along with one Islamic country and fights against another mainly to prevent unity of the Islamic world and create obstacles to common understanding of Muslims of interests of Islamic societies.”
Leader of the Islamic Revolution expressed regret towards success of America’s divisive policies in the region and added “marauders work hand in hand with some regional countries and, in order to succeed in their plots, they try represent the Islamic Republic, Iran or Shi'ism as their enemies though we should be aware that unity and standing up against bullies will lead to progress of the Muslim world.”
He said the Iranian nation had serious determination in the fights against outsiders underlining that all revolutionary people have stood against arrogance.
“Faith, unity and presence in the scene by the nation are the main source of courage held by the Islamic Republic,” noted the Iranian Leader stressing that massive poll in the upcoming presidential elections will mark an excellent venue for vibrant presence of people at the scene. “Participation in elections in the Islamic structure is the task of the people and manifestation of their dignity, right and power in shaping their executive head of government as well as that unity of the nation will take away the enemy’s mobility and boldness.
Leader of Islamic Revolution said intimidating policies of the US against the Iranian people at all times was a sign of evil intention of its officials adding “Americans have taken all measures against Iran but they need to be aware that their actions will harm themselves for Iranians are standing firmly against their plots.”
Ayatollah Khamenei called for faith, unity, perseverance and presence in the scene adding “by using domestic capabilities and wise planning the internal structure of the country needs to become so strong that all plots of enemies are thwarted.”
“Muslim world is plagued by violence, terrorism, instability and insecurity highlighted the Leader concluding “today more than ever, we need to hear the message of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and make efforts to save Islamic countries from ongoing problems.”
