President Hassan Rouhani made remarks at an international summit being held in the Iranian capital to mark the 40th passing away anniversary of Martyr Mostafa Khomeini.

Iranian president says Martyr Seyyed Mostafa Khomeini had been a hope for all revolutionaries, stressing to observe and analyze various perspectives of his multidimensional personality.

President Hassan Rouhani made remarks at an international summit being held in the Iranian capital to mark the 40th passing away anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s son, who largely contributed to victory of the Islamic movement and revolution.

The president went onto say that Mostafa Khomeini was a great jurist and mystic who played a crucial role in furthering Imam Khomeini’s movement and struggle for the Islamic Revolution.

The Iranian president referred to the influential position of the late Hajj Sayyid Mostafa Khomeini on the important event of Imam Khomeini's arrest in 1963, saying he displayed courageous act and managed to lead the people’s movement by gathering a large number of activists in the courtyard of Hazrat Masoumeh's shrine in holy city of Qom.

The Iranian president invited the scholars and intellectuals to study and analyze various perspectives of late Seyyed Mostafa Khomeini.

President Rouhani also stressed that family of Imam Khomeini, the late founder of the Islamic Republic has had great rights and the nation owe and oblige to them. 

Elsewhere in his remarks,  Iranian President  said on Monday that nobody has the right to comment on Iran's military power.

'Nobody is entitled to comment on Iran's military might as its development is based on the country's Constitution and defense doctrine."

'Iran's military power is aimed at countering threats and aggressions, therefore, it should have a deterrent nature,' he said.

The President further described Iran's presence in the region as a 'forward escape' approach.

Referring to the unfair sanctions against Iran, the President also said that the sanctions are tantamount to cruelty towards the Iranian people.

'While our cities were under air attacks by Saddam's regime, did you provide Iran with air defense systems?' the President asked, referring to Iraq's imposed war on Iran in 1980-88.

Iran is still facing new sanctions, primarily planned and imposed by the United States, for its peaceful nuclear activities ratified at least eight times by the United Nations nuclear watchdog, the IAEA.

The White House has not been committed to the July 2015 nuclear deal between Iran and the major world powers, and President Donald Trump has decertified the International accord, also known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), preparing ground for putting more pressures on Iran.
