Victorious Iran Has Vanquished US at Every Turn

By: S. Nawabzadeh

A glance at the past four decades of conflict shows that the US has always been the loser, while victory belonged to the Islamic Republic of Iran. 

This was the gist of the message of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution during the audience he granted yesterday to a huge gathering of students on the eve of the historic 4th of November (Aban 13), a day on the which the Iranian people have delivered teeth-smashing blows to Uncle Sam – the last time in 1979 when the US embassy in Tehran which had long ceased to be a diplomatic mission and was operating as a den of spies for the whole region, was taken over by revolutionary students following the path of the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini, in order to pre-empt the plot to overthrow the Islamic Republic.

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei also noted the fact that the US which has hatched in vain every imaginable plot against the Islamic Republic, including political, economic, military, cultural and media, is now in a very weak position vis-à-vis Iran and the Iranian people compared to forty years ago.

Today, as eyes of the whole world are glued to Iran, where massive rallies are underway throughout the country, especially in front of the former American espionage den in Tehran that is echoing with vociferous chants of God’s Greatness (Allah-o Akbar), "Death to the US”, "Death to the Zionist entity”, and "hayhat minna az-Zilla” (never to humiliation), Donald Trump the Don Quixote in the White House is about to commit another blunder by imposing illegal sanctions on Iran’s oil and banking transactions which will badly boomerang on Washington.

Those still in doubt about the string of US failures against Iran and the Iranian people ought to open their eyes to the power and prestige of the Islamic Republic in the region today.

The US is becoming more and more isolated on the world scene, even among its traditional European allies, while Iran’s principled policies have earned the country trading partners unafraid of American threats to penalize them for doing business with the Islamic Republic.

True, mosquito bites could be called irritants but these do not prevent manufacture of antidotes to reduce or wipe out malaria and related diseases.  

To be more precise, while the US is in a declining and disgraced state, the Islamic Republic continues its march toward pinnacles of progress, after having weathered since 1979 such intricate plots as the airborne Operation Eagle Claw that was miraculously destroyed by the sands of Tabas, the 8-year war imposed by American agent Saddam of the repressive Ba’th minority regime of Baghdad, the freezing of scores of billions of dollars in US banks that did not reduce Iran to penury, the assassination of senior officials and common people by the MKO terrorists that further disgraced these hypocrites, the economic sanctions which failed to halt Iran’s drive for mastering high tech industries (medical sciences, nano, the nuclear fuel cycle, aerospace, ballistic missile, etc.), the cultural onslaught which couldn’t undermine the faith and spiritual values of the nation, the media campaign that fizzled out as the Iranian media networks in English, Arabic, Spanish, French, Urdu, and Turkish attracted audiences the world over, the target killing of scientists that exposed US cowardice, the terrorist bid to take over Syria and Iraq that was thwarted by the national armies and the people’s militias, Iran trained on request from the two countries, and last but not the least Saudi Arabia’s miserable failure in defeating the popular Ansarallah Movement.

The list is long and outside the scope of the Viewpoint Column of Kayhan International.

It means, the latest desperate attempt of Trump to choose November 4 to impose another set of illegal sanctions on Iran is no more than a psychological measure rather than any practicability of such sanctions, which, judging by the Leader of the Islamic Revolution’s latest remarks, is further proof of the political-intellectual-moral bankruptcy of Washington, whose costly weapons and well trained terrorists and terrorist regimes, are no match for the popular forces of regional countries trained by Iranian advisors.

In short, November 4, called the Day of National Campaign against Global Arrogance, is a day of triumph for the aspirations of the Iranian people, whose timely move in 1979 to take over the US den of spies prevented the overthrow of the Islamic Republic and rubbed into dirt the American nose. Uncle Sam’s bloodied nose looks so awful today that no amount of cosmetic surgery by Trump and team will ever set it right, while the free world rightly feels indebted to the Islamic Republic for delivering them from the tentacles of the US, whose nose now appears to be on the verge of being cut off for good by Donald Trump.
