I love the smell of Supreme Leader pronouncements in the morning. From IRIB:
Islamic Revolution Leader Ayatollah Sayed Ali Khamenei told a thousands-strong student audience Monday that the spirit of Basij (Qoranic diligence) takes credit for the hope and endurance of the Iranian nation, adding that across the large battleground of wills and prudence in the world, the same spirit helped transform the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic into a commanding center for awakening of the world nations to stand up to America's hegemony.
My little daughter walked past the computer as I had the original article in front of me with the Ayatollah's picture. "Who is that?" she asked. "A very silly man," I replied.
The IR Leader said the essence of Basij equals the readiness to cater to different revolutionary needs at any time or situation whatsoever, adding that any one who enshrines the essence enjoys the spirit, wherever he is located: in student associations or in non-academic surroundings including state departments, nationwide factories, the Islamic jurisprudence centers, or any other places.
Ayatollah Khamenei accredited the nation's preparedness in every situation with the national achievements in the past 27 years.
"The present world's political arena hosts a huge complex war of will and prudence and the point of fact is that the Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic of Iran has played and continue to play a determining role in this arena so that one can say the Islamic system has already set off a strong bomb in the world of politics far more powerful than the bomb used by America in Hiroshima," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
Raising the superpowers-minded dichotomy of dominance-seekers-subdued countries in the world, Ayatollah Khamenei said, "In the world of politics, America has acted in a way that even the Europeans cannot afford to make a notable say of their own. However, the Iranian nation by its measures and positions has questioned the overall platform of the dominance-seeking power consequently affecting the bystanders of the colossal political conflict which are the nations. For the arrogant American government the reality has proved more bitter than any other poison."
In the same regard, the IR Leader said that the awakened nations of Palestine, Lebanon, Latin America and other points of the world took inspiration from the innocent perseverance of the Iranian nation and the firmer-than-steel resolve of the honorable Imam Khomeini the departed and resourceful reserve must be cherished.
Ayatollah Khamenei urged the youths and the other individuals in society to pick a due knowledge about the current global political situation.
"In the nations' battle against America, the Islamic Republic has turned into a commanding center for the nations so that despite the imbalance of power and abilities of the opposing parties, Iran could changed the situation in favor of the front of nations through its Allah-inspired resolve and prudence to the extent it even enjoys an equal standing vis-a-vis the rival," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
Ayatollah Khamenei noted that faith, revolutionary spirit, and religious motivations have produced a powerful Islamic Republic of Iran against America, adding that the heart and soul of the Iranian nation are intertwined with the revolution and for the same reason everywhere and every time necessary the nation will take on the field to defend Islam, the revolution and the country.
"The reality arises from the power of religion in firming the nations," the Islamic Revolution Leader underlined.
Gotta have firm nations.
Ayatollah Khamenei underlined the role of the students, especially the Basij-grown students in enhancing the commanding position of the Iranian nation as unique.
As regards the role of the Basij-grown students in national affairs, Ayatollah Khamenei reminded his New Year Day's statement in which the honorable alerted about enemy efforts to disrupt the country's economy to present the creed-following administration of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as incompetent, adding the student Basij associations can help thwart the ploy by assisting the administration to promote its performance.
Ayatollah Khamenei also alerted about another enemy effort namely to hinder Iran's scientific growth and trouble national unity and Islamic harmony, adding that the Basij-grown students can take an active and influential role to foil such attempts.
The IR Leader underlined necessity of full alert on the part of the students, adding, "Such alert should not be summarized in renouncing America alone, rather it takes a more profound concept in light of the enemy's complicated and mainly hidden political and cultural programs."
If he only knew. If he only knew.
"Sometimes the enemy in order to have its plan at full strength lurks to hear some one making a rightful comment. For that reason, we must strictly take vigilance not to allow enemy to abuse an statement," Ayatollah Khamenei urged, adding that to meet the requirement one should know the enemy and avoid careless conduct.
Ayatollah Khamenei called the student Basij association a bi-faceted association, having connection with both the academic surrounding and the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) which represents valiant revolutionary resistance.
Ayatollah Khamenei underscored insight as the prime requirement for the association, urging it to acquire a dynamic mind through thought-making and theoretical projects so that it could assess the country's situation aside from political factions and so become able to take its obligations.
Ayatollah Khamenei urged the audience to pay special attention to their academic lessons and morality adding that the association must acquire a thought room, recruit in a proper manner and preserve its organizational unity.
Concerning the involvement of the students in political affairs, Ayatollah Khamenei said "The Basij-grown students could not and should not go unheeded towards political matters rather it should remain full-energy and avoid heedless manners. However, avoiding heedless treatment does not require ignoring the enemy's complicated projects thereby the student Basij must keep path with full alert and vigilance."
