Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei received the families of the security defender martyrs on Sunday morning.
Referring to the Israel regime's Saturday attack on Iran's soil, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei emphasized, "The evilness of the Zionist regime should neither be magnified nor belittled."
The calculation error of the Zionist regime must be messed up, Ayatollah Khamenei said, adding that they (Zionists) should understand the strength, will and initiative of the Iranian nation and youth.
The Leader also said the officials should make the Zionist regime understand the level of the Iranian nation’s power and determination, calling on the officials to do whatever is in the best interest of the country.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized the importance of preserving the country’s security, especially the psychological security of people, saying that causing fear and doubt in their minds is rejected.
Anybody who stands against any act of evil, from robbery to murder, smuggling and spreading rumors, is regarded as the guardian of security, he said.
“What preserves the security of a country is its national power, the strength of that country, being strong in all aspects; strong in science, strong in economy, strong in defense, strong in armaments. These maintain and ensure the security of the country,” he said.
Whenever Iranian authorities turned away from pursuing tools of power because of adopting wrong policies, the enemy gained dominance over the country, Ayatollah Khamenei noted, citing as examples Iran’s weakness during the eras of Qajar and Pahlavi, which led to the occupation of the country in first and second world wars despite the fact that Tehran had announced its neutrality.
