“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 martyrdom 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 the 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, he underlined.
Velayati stated that the revolution and the sacred defense in Iran produced the students on the path of the Islamic awakening, and certainly Martyr Soleimani was a distinguished and outstanding student of this school as described by the Leader himself.
He said Soleimani’s efforts resulted in strengthening the initial cores of the Resistance and turning it into a powerful front.
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.
