Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that prospects of the country is bright and promising.
The Supreme Leader said in his address to several thousand students and members of Basij (volunteer forces) that Iran`s dignity, independence and strength are dependent on boosting might, religious faith, scientific efforts in parallel with initiative of every individual especially the youth.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized the need for national solidarity and unity between the nation and government.
The Supreme Leader recalled the events which took place on November 4 including speech of late Imam Khomeini in 1963 and his exile, opening fire on students rally on November 4, 1978 by deposed Shah`s secret police and said that though the US puppet regime inflicted blows on the Iranian nations twice on November 4, the revolutionary students took over the US embassy which was den of espionage on November 4, 1979.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that fate of nations always depends on their own decision whether to bow to hegemony and keeping silent to bullying or stand up to the arrogant powers.
`The Iranian nation opted for the second way and that victory of the Islamic Revolution led by late Imam Khomeini dealt a blow to US bullying and its humiliating approach,` the Supreme Leader said.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the Iranian nation has already paid hefty price for its independence and dignity during the eight-year Iraqi-imposed war (1980-1988) and Iranian youth are proponent of dignity and independence for the Islamic nations.
So Iran`s status and prestige are incomparable to the past, he added.
The Supreme Leader appreciated hard work of Basij members and said that the Basij has undertaken to serve independence and prosperity of the nation and it is in full alert to insure the invulnerability of the country.
The Supreme Leader made it clear that the US opposition to Iranian nuclear program is because it is an example of progress for Iran and that it does not like to see the Iranian nation making advances.
`A nation acquiring scientific power can no longer be bullied.
` Ayatollah Khamenei ruled out alleged Iranian complicity in killing of US troop as `great lie` and said that it is the madness of the US administration which sends US troops to abyss.
The Supreme Leader once again strongly dismissed the US allegation about death of US troops and said that the US administration is under fire in the international community for its wrong policy, so it is accusing Iran in desperation.
The Supreme Leader said that US is responsible for lack of security in the Middle East and intervention in Iraq, Lebanon and Palestine.
`The world nations are aware of the US administration`s practices and US officials face public protest wherever they visit.
It is clear example of their isolation in the international community,` the Supreme Leader said.
