Iranians to Steadfastly Stand against Enemies
The Leader, in meeting on Saturday with a group of people from the holy city of Qom, warned about attempts against the country and said the enemies have been trying in different ways such as imposing a war, sanctions and economic blockade, to undermine the Islamic Revolution.
They have left no stone unturned over the past decades to destroy the Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.
The Leader said that contrary to French and Russian revolutions which derailed and collapsed, Iran’s Islamic Revolution has managed to live up to its principles.
"Iran’s Islamic Revolution is the only revolution that has managed to maintain its existence based on basic principles and ideals,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader further highlighted the significance of upcoming parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections, calling all eligible Iranians to turn out en masse and vote in next month’s polls in an effort to guarantee the security of Islamic Iran.
Iranian people are scheduled to cast their votes in the parliamentary and Assembly of Experts elections on February 26.
There are currently 290 seats in the Iranian parliament, known as Majlis, elected by direct vote of people in nationwide election for four years.
The Assembly of Experts is also a high-ranking body that elects and oversees the activities of the leader of the Islamic Revolution.
Members of the assembly are directly elected to office by people for an eight-year term. It holds biannual meetings to appoint a new chairman.
