Tehran, Nov 17, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei hailed the spiritual capabilities, scientific capacities, initiatives and strong will of the Iranian armed forces during eight years of imposed war. The Supreme Leader made the remarks here Monday morning while addressing a ceremony at Imam Ali military college. Ayatollah Khamenei, also Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces, said that the Armed Forces have already well proven their capabilities. The ayatollah said the world hegemonic powers are trying to manipulate arts, politics, military and all available sources to hinder the voice of the true Islam reach the world. However, he added, the ever increasing fear of such powers is a proof of the fact that the voice is well heard all across the world. Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that all oppressive powers are deeply concerned about the message of the true Islam because it is threatening their interests. He said they are using all tools especially artistic ones to frighten the global people about Islam. The ayatollah referred to creation of armed forces under the name of Islam and Islamic State as well as massacring innocent people as common ways used by enemies of Islam to achieve their goals. The Supreme Leader further noted that enemies did not like nations to become familiar with the message of true Islam for human beings which is prosperity, dignity, honor and a life guaranteed by security./end
