Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the works and statements left by late founder of the Islamic Republic form essence and fundamentals of Islamic Revolution.
Ayatollah Khamenei made remarks in a meeting with Iran’s Intelligence Minister Mahmoud Alavi and other senior personnel of the ministry on Tuesday.
The leader also noted that Iran will never back down from distancing itself from the United States. “Keeping a distance from the head of the arrogant movement, i.e. the US, is one of the most important definitive principles of the great founder of the Islamic Republic (the late Imam Khomeini) and there is no room for any compromise or negligence in this regard.”
Ayatollah Khamenei also stressed that victory and the survival of the Islamic Revolution are tied to maintaining faith.
“The failure of the global arrogance against the Islamic establishment, despite massive and varied plots and methods that they have deployed since the first day against the [Islamic] Revolution, could not have been possible without the support of faith.”
It is worthy to mention that Imam Khomeini left dozens of academic works which covers a range of fields such as philosophy, mysticism, jurisprudence, Quran and Hadith sciences, and poetry and literature.
Imam’s speeches and statements have been collected in 24-volume collection under the title of Sahifeh-ye Imam.
