Palestine and any nation that stand steadfast for the sake of their cause will gain victory: Imam Khamenei

You view the matter of usurped, oppressed, injured Palestine: the people who live there have been standing for a year. If we want to evaluate their situation by material criteria and statistics, we might say, they’ve been beaten, injured, and killed. However, indeed, they revived the Palestinian cause. They brought about a perplexing situation with no solutions for their enemy; and forced the enemy to confess more to their inability.

TEHRAN (Defapress)-The nations that stand steadfast for the sake of their causes, will be successful. This success might not appear to the short-sighted people, immediately. But this success is, undoubtedly, established and cannot be denied. You view the matter of usurped, oppressed, injured Palestine: the people who live there have been standing for a year. If we want to evaluate their situation by material criteria and statistics, we might say, they’ve been beaten, injured, and killed. However, indeed, they revived the Palestinian cause. They brought about a perplexing situation with no solutions for their enemy; and forced the enemy to confess more to their inability. This shows the enemy is frustrated. Now the regime has started making aggressive remarks and threatening others with a war inside and outside the region. For what reason? This is because those oppressed men, those women whose babies were shot by the Zionists, those teenagers who while using rocks fought against fully armed forces, have made the enemy frustrated.

The balance of power in the world is not always bound to superficial, grandiose appearances, or having an image of a super-power: resistance is needed.

Our nation stood and became victorious--during the revolution, the war, and the era after the war--and will continue to resist and will be victorious. All the pressures you see today, including propaganda, political, and economic pressures, and insider treasonable links with the enemy, are due to the fact that the Iranian nation has announced clearly and stands steadfast to the righteous word and its legitimate, reasonable demand--which consists of being independent and stopping interference of the foreigners, as well as relying on divine commands and religion--according to the holy verse: “Indeed, those who have said, "Our Lord is Allah," and then remained on a right course -- the angels will descend upon them, [saying]: "Do not fear, and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.” (the Quran 41:30) But who is going to win?

It is the nation and its resistance that will win.

Of course, these are trials. All around the world, many were disgraced. In the matter of Palestine and Iran, domineering international powers became disgraced. All nations learned, that in their remarks, void claims of human rights support and war on terror were not actually true. Today, you see, the US government officials claim they oppose terrorism; meanwhile, the Zionist regime decides, at the state level, to terrorize certain individuals--it has chosen about 20 people. -- This is official governmental terrorism; nevertheless, the US supports them [the Zionists]. This proves that the US lies. They claim to support human rights and rights of women and children; but inside Palestine, Zionists’ bulldozers destroy homes of babies and helpless women, while they are inside their homes. Then the US doesn’t react at all! This makes the US a disgrace before all nations!
