Era of global hegemons is ending: Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution

TEHRAN, Feb.9(MNA) -- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that the hegemonistic powers are in decline and their era is coming to an end.

“Today, nations in the Middle East and the Islamic world have woken up. The hegemony of the powerful is coming to an end, and their gradual decline has begun,” the Leader said here on Tuesday during a meeting with a number of Air Force commanders and officers.

Commenting on the popular uprisings in the Middle East and North Africa, Ayatollah Khamenei said such great movements do not take shape overnight but are the result of the accumulation of unmet demands over the course of years.

The Iranian nation’s resistance against the hegemonistic powers played a major role in the occurrence of these uprisings, he stated.

The Iranian nation has always been a pioneer in the campaign against hegemons and bullying powers and has stood up to them, he added.

On the enemy’s soft war against Iran, the Leader said that creating division and discord between the Iranian people and the country’s officials is one of the tactics of the enemy’s soft war.

“(Creating) discord and division between people, officials, and different segments of the Islamic system is one of the enemy’s main objectives for undermining national cohesion,” he noted.

Therefore, all Iranian citizens should try to counter this threat through strengthening their insight, he stated.

The Iranian nation should try to avoid internal disputes in order to maintain its important position on the international stage, he added.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei described the achievements of the Air Force, such as designing, manufacturing, and upgrading military equipment, including flight simulators, radar systems, missiles, and fighter jets, as significant and praiseworthy.
