Tehran witnessed yet another million-strong rally on Monday, November 25, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the historic decree of the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), for formation of the Basij or Mass Mobilization Volunteer Force, to defend the country’s Islamic solidarity, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, cultural affinity, and economic-industrial productivity, against enemies of all kinds, including traitorous rioters serving Global Arrogance.
Tehran witnessed yet another million-strong rally on Monday, November 25, on the eve of the 40th anniversary of the historic decree of the Father of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeini (RA), for formation of the Basij or Mass Mobilization Volunteer Force, to defend the country’s Islamic solidarity, national sovereignty, territorial integrity, cultural affinity, and economic-industrial productivity, against enemies of all kinds, including traitorous rioters serving Global Arrogance.
Though millions of other Tehranis couldn’t participate because of their duties to the country in different spheres on a working day, the rally which converged on the capital’s Maidan-e Inqelab (Revolution Square) near Tehran University Campus, from various directions, was a climax to the massive marches being staged all over Iran over the past few days to reaffirm support for the Islamic Republic, following the failed bid by the US, the Zionist regime, and Saudi Arabia, to grease the hands of treasonous elements to indulge in acts of arson, sacrilege of religious symbols, sniping on peaceful protestors against the recent petroleum price hike, and looting of public and private properties.
This Basiji spirit of the nation which is not particular to any strata of society but involves people from all walks of life, is another resounding slap for the US regime and its feverish bid to dent the indomitable resolve of Iran through saboteurs, seditionists, hypocrites, terrorists, and the outcasts who have no place in Iran, following the failure of its policy of economic terrorism and flexing of its aching military muscles in the Persian Gulf region.
It is worth recalling that a few days ago in the wake of the fizzling out of the crude American-Zionist coup attempt within a mere 48 hours, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, had said: "Let all friends and foes know that we pushed back the enemy in the recent security war”.
Yes, the Iranian people are proud of their latest victory in the security theatre over their avowed enemies, after having soundly defeated them in the military, media, political, cultural, scientific, and cyber wars.
This is harbinger of the grand victory awaiting the nation in the economic war, by the Grace of God Almighty, as prophesied by Ayatollah Khamenei.
Iran’s lofty status today, despite the hardships the people have endured over the past four decades with profound faith in their time tested and time-honoured values, coupled with devotion to the independence of their homeland against foreign domination, is indebted to the foresight of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, whose words of turning the nation into a formidable force of 20 million Basijis active in all spheres of the society, continue to ring loud and clear, as Iran surmounts hurdles to master modern technologies, ranging from stem cells to aerospace, and the nuclear fuel cycle to cyberspace.
Imam Khomeini had said: "If we really want to present a perfect meaning of sacrifice, sincerity, devotion and love of God and Islam; is there anyone more deserving than the Basij?”
True indeed, without an iota of doubt. As shown by the recent events, whenever the enemies, on the basis of their misconstrued policies tried to mess up with Iran, they have received a thorough thrashing.
The US cannot do a damn thing, thanks to the Basiji spirit of the nation of Iran.
To sum up, here is a famous definition of Basij from Ayatollah Khamenei: "Basij has a specific definition: a group of people who show their presence in the middle of the arena and anywhere necessary with lofty divine goals and with an untiring spirit; who show their talents and bring all of their capacities to the arena; and who are not afraid of the dangers of this path. Such people are prepared to lay down their lives. Well, "being prepared to lay down one’s life” is easy to say, but it is not so easy in practice. Thus, the "Basiji” is a person who is prepared for this difficult task – laying down one’s life and sacrificing things that are even dearer than one’s life. This is the meaning of Basij and it is one of the unique characteristics of our country.”
