After the events of recent months in the region, some delusional dreamers (in the words of the Supreme Leader) are insinuating that Iran has become weak and are promoting this as a media line. Yes, we have suffered losses, but we have never been weak.

This year’s march is important in that people show the world their strength and steadfastness against this propaganda line and silenced the greedy.

America and Israel, who have hidden their ugly faces under the guise of compassion for the Iranian people, are themselves the cause of many of the problems and suffering of the Iranian nation.

Let me say a few words about these days. I will be very brief and concise; we are living in the days of the Fajr decade, and tomorrow is the 22nd of Bahman. In this same lesson, in these same meetings, I have spoken many times about the importance of the Islamic Revolution and the effects, blessings, and fruits of the revolution. Today, I want to address this issue from only one angle (given the limited time we have), and I will mention the importance of attending the 22nd of Bahman march this year. There is no doubt that there are problems in the country. There is no doubt that people are struggling in terms of livelihood. What we are facing is that different segments of the population, especially students, really bear all the problems, sometimes even the problems are so much difficult. If I were to give examples of the problems that students have and the appeals they have, it would be unbelievable for many. Each of you yourself is facing these problems in some way, and so are other segments of the population. Livelihood problems, difficulties, hardships, some shortages, some shortcomings, apart from the personal livelihood problems of the people, in any case, there are also general problems, I acknowledge all of these. Of course, on the other hand, important things have been done in this country, that is, we must deal fairly, not just see these shortcomings and weaknesses, the fairness is that in the years after the revolution. Important progress has taken place in this country, of course it could have been better, but at some point these problems and difficulties become so prominent in our minds and prevail that they prevent us from seeing the strengths, prevent us from seeing the progress. God willing, these progress should become more extensive and faster, and with the efforts of the authorities, with the efforts of the people, with unity and empathy, these shortcomings can be resolved.

Ayatollah Seyyed Mujtaba Noormafidi: The necessity of attending the 22 Bahman march Living problems, some shortcomings, weaknesses and shortcomings cannot be denied and people have grievances, but these troubles should not be so prominent in the mind and prevail that they prevent them from seeing the strengths.

There is no doubt that there are problems in the country. There is no doubt that people are struggling in terms of livelihood. What we are facing is that different segments of the population, especially students, really keep their faces red even with a slap, sometimes even a slap does not make their faces red. If I were to give examples of the problems that students have and the people they refer to, it would be unbelievable for many. You yourself are all facing these problems in some way, and so are other groups. Livelihood problems, difficulties, hardships, some shortages, some shortcomings, apart from the personal livelihood problems of the people, there are also general problems, I acknowledge all of these.

The point I want to make is that after the events that have occurred in the region in recent months, the enemies have created the illusion that Iran has become weak. In the words of the Supreme Leader, delusional dreamers! They instill weakness, and some believe that Iran has become weak. They are also promoting their own illusion as a propaganda line in the media. In the international media, some affiliated analysts are promoting that Iran has become weak.

The fact that Iran has suffered losses cannot be denied. The losses are also known. Loss does not mean weakness; it makes no difference whether we say that we have suffered losses or whether it is claimed that we have become weak. In any case, this mischievous propaganda line is being followed that Iran’s power has eroded and declined, and the political system has weakened. They are inevitably organizing movements based on this illusion and fantasy. What is necessary for us, with every tendency, with every taste, with every attitude, with every flock, is to wake them up from this troubled sleep. Attending the 12th of Bahman march this year is important in that it reveals the invalidity of this propaganda line. The Iranian people must announce their presence to the whole world in a unified and powerful way. If the enemies perceive weakness, laziness, and apathy in the people, they will undoubtedly covet Iran and its people more. America and Israel, who have hidden their ugly faces under the guise of compassion for the Iranian people, are the cause of many of the problems and sufferings of the Iranian people themselves. They are neither compassionate towards the people, nor do they suffer from the suffering of the people. They are the cause of many of these problems themselves, many of the problems are due to the cruel sanctions that they themselves imposed. They do not bother themselves for the people, if they get the chance, they will not show mercy to anyone. They do not love the country. They do not want this country to grow and progress. I really think that one of the most important things we can do against the illusions and fantasies of the enemies, and it is definitely effective, is to attend the 22 Bahman march. Attending this march is a declaration of the strength and power, the steadfastness, and the determination of the Iranian nation against the greed and demands of the enemies.

God willing, all the people, despite their problems and grievances, will have a large presence in this march. Our people have always proven that they understand the dangerous situation of the country and the region, and God willing, they will disrupt the evil plans of the enemies and their troubled dreams, as in the past.

Wa salamu alaykum wa rahmatullah wa barakatuh.
