According to the father of the Islamic Revolution, the point that must be noted as the world’s Muslims and the oppressed rise up against international exploiters and expansionists, is that superpowers are implementing their vicious plots either through creation of terror, or by their propaganda, or their treacherous subservience. But if, through their vigilance and unity, nations stand against these powers, they [the superpowers] would not be successful.
The living proofs of that in our own region are Iran and Afghanistan. Iran, as you know, had been surrendered to the US and the shah had tied the country to the US in every respect. Iran was one of the US military bases and its army was in the hands of American advisors, Imam stated
Culture was in the hands of mercenaries while the shah, his government and Majlis were but obedient servants. The economy was in its worst state of dependence, the great leader of contemporary history pointed out.
The shah was the most powerful policeman in the region, thanks to his affluence and sophisticated military hardware, supported by the US and other lackey States in the region.
However, the Iranian people, empty-handed and relying only on Allah, in a short period of time miraculously broke the idols created by those affected by the west; and they [Iranian people] put an end to the 2,500-year-old tyranny, as well as to the myth created by idolaters, Imam went onto say.
The Afghan people crushed the brute assault of the Soviet Union. They are doing it with the power of faith and by relying on Allah. And it was the committed ulama who expelled France and Britain, which usurped Algeria and Iraq.
According to Imam, these examples are sufficient to remove unfounded terror created by imperialism and the imperialists, and to awaken Muslims and the governments of Muslim States, so that Muslims and their governments become free.
They should take a lesson from Iran, which cut the hands of all powers, broke the shackles of imperialism and expelled their advisors and parasites.
