”bullying of the arrogant powers”

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that independence and resistance to greed of the hegemonic powers formed the centerpiece of their opposition to the Islamic Republic of Iran.

In a meeting with justice officials to mark anniversary of bombing on June 28, 1981 in which the then chief justice Ayatollah Mohammad Beheshti and 72 senior statesmen were killed, Khamenei said that since the 1979 Revolution, the hegemonic powers exerted various military, political and economic pressures on Iran to undermine the pillars of the Islamic Republic.

"Therefore, under such sensitive circumstances, every individual and all the officials of three branches of government are expected to make strides for reinforcement of pillars of the Islamic Republic carefully by promoting sense of responsibility and national solidarity."

The Supreme Leader said that Iran is the only country which both the government and nation have stood against bullying of the arrogant powers, so the dispute between Iran and the hegemonist powers is not an ordinary one. "The Islamic Republic of Iran regards popular support from 70 million population and sympathetic sentiments from Muslim nations as a security for the government. The Muslim nations announced their support for Iran's independent policy and admire Iran for taking up this line."
