The glorious Islamic Revolution in Iran, led by Imam Khomeini (peace be upon him), and continued by Imam Khamenei (may God prolong his shadow) after his succession, and guided by his policies and principles, and its civilizational and political model of liberation, and its inspirational role in motivating the oppressed to embrace the values of freedom and independence and reject occupation and hegemony... appears today, on its 47th anniversary, more resilient, broader, and more effective, and more credible among peoples and countries struggling for liberation from all forms of domination and subjugation.‏

And the bellicose drumbeats of war against it by the aggressive American administration and the Zionist entity today are clear proof of the great fear felt by the forces of tyranny and hegemony of the growing effectiveness and capabilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran ‏in its regional and global role.‏

Despite all the coordinated conspiracies by America, Western countries, and the Zionist entity to isolate and besiege the Islamic Revolution since its victory on February 11, 1979, and to this day, with the aim of overthrowing it and eliminating its liberation and renaissance project, the continued brilliance and entrenchment of Iran's survival and development over the past 47 years represents a clear failure and disillusionment of all hostile policies aimed at undermining the right of peoples to determine their own fate and to control their own lands and destinies.‏

And while the enemies of the Islamic Republic are today threatening it, waging war against it, and attempting to isolate it... this collusion in fact reveals that Iran alone constitutes the real counterweight to all the forces of aggression and hegemony in the world, and this alone reinforces the confidence of the oppressed in the strength of Iran and its firm stance on its rights in the field of nuclear enrichment for peaceful purposes or in the field of missiles to defend its sovereignty and people, or in its policy of supporting the forces of resistance against occupation and hegemony.‏

A power that is not based on a legitimate right is tyrannical bullying that is doomed to exposure and collapse... while a legitimate right supported by power is the fastest path to rooting, expansion, and consolidation of a model ‏and an example that the struggling peoples embrace to achieve security, justice, stability, and progress... ‏and this model and example are presented today by the blessed Islamic Republic of Iran to humanity; ‏starting from its commitment to supporting the cause of Palestine and supporting the legitimate rights of its resisting people, to its outspoken condemnation of the Zionist occupation and its continuous aggressions against Lebanon, Syria, Palestine, and the entire Arab region, in addition to its condemnation of the genocide committed by the Zionist enemy against Gaza ‏and its people, and support for the Lebanese people and their right to resist the Zionist occupation and liberate their land and protect their security and stability, and ending with its courageous and supportive stance for the right of states to exercise their full sovereignty over their lands without any interference or Zionist bullying in their security and economy, and its constant standing alongside those with legitimate and just rights against the plunderers of their countries and those seeking to dominate their resources.‏
