Islamic Revolution standing against hegemonic system: Leader

Tehran, Feb 27, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said the great achievement made by the Iranian nation after the victory of the Revolution was rejecting a hegemonic system dividing the world into the 'domineering-submissive' poles. 'Although hegemonic powers, benefiting from their massive tools, have currently found more dominance over the oppressed, the Islamic Revolution is now standing against the oppressors,' said the Leader in a recent meeting with members of the headquarters of martyrs from educational, academic and art centers. The text of the Leader's statements was distributed on Thursday among participants of a national conference on martyrs of educational centers. Underlining that the major scientific achievements made by Iranians are resulted from their spirit of jihad and martyrdom, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the trend of progress will never be halted or move backward in a society which chooses the culture of sacrifice and martyrdom.
