The thoughts of Imam Khamenei | The Iranian nation's choice in confronting arrogance is not surrender; It is resistance, self-reliance, and preserving independence

Pars Today – The Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated: "Our nation's choice in confronting global arrogance is not surrender; it is resistance, self-reliance, and preserving independence."

This report from Pars Today examines the positions of Imam Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, on the issue of standing against arrogance.

What is Imam Khamenei's view on confronting arrogance?

According to a report by Pars Today, citing KHAMENEI.IR, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, stated some time ago during a meeting with Hajj officials:

"You observe, if now a call is issued for, say, a certain group of people or a certain city of the country, or all the people of the country, to gather in a certain place on a certain day—what does it mean? It means that this gathering is for a purpose and an objective; it does not mean that you come there and then leave. No, it means you come so that an action is carried out, you come so that a goal is achieved; Hajj is this."

[They] called for a purpose; what is that purpose? It is the elevation of the Islamic Ummah; that purpose is the bringing closer of the hearts of the members of the Islamic Ummah to one another; that purpose is the unity of the Islamic Ummah; against what? Against disbelief, against oppression, against arrogance, against human and non-human idols, against all those things that Islam came to eliminate; they gather to confront these things.

For example, suppose the issue today is Israel, the Zionist regime; the entire Islamic world must gather, and this gathering must deliver a message against the Zionist regime. Today, the world's issue is the influence of arrogant powers; everyone must gather to declare their presence, to declare their power, to stand as a shield against the arrogant powers; this is essentially the matter.

The phenomenon of resistance in the region

In this context, Imam Khamenei recently stated in a meeting with the family and members of the headquarters for commemorating Martyr Haj Qassem Soleimani:

"Today, a phenomenon exists in our region that we have named 'Resistance.' And this resistance is not only against the Zionist regime but is also against the influence of arrogance. Of course, the head of arrogance and the Great Satan is America, but it is not limited to America; the rest of the arrogant apparatuses are also arrogant. This resistance is a resistance against them."

What are the most prominent slogans of the Islamic Revolution?
In his remarks, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution identified pursuit of justice, support for the oppressed, resistance against arrogance, confronting arrogance and arrogant powers as the main slogans of the Islamic Revolution.

What is our nation’s choice in confronting arrogance?
Addressing the Iranian people, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated: Our nation’s choice in facing arrogance is not surrender; it is standing firm, maintaining independence, and rejecting dependency.
