Once again, to the dear people of our country

we offer our greetings and respect, and

to the dear people of our country who, with strength, with firmness,

and with the passion they show in the arena, are disappointing our enemies,

we are grateful.

The discussions we had yesterday apparently

showed that the notions the enemy had taken from them were naive assumptions.

The enemy wishes that we be at war with Islamic countries,

creating rifts between us and those countries.

We have said it over and over, and the intention and

goal of the Supreme Leader as well has been that we are brothers with our

neighboring countries, we must have good relations. But what is happening is

that if from any country they want to

attack our soil and commit aggression,

naturally we are forced to respond to them, and what we intend in responding

to them does not mean that we have a quarrel with that country.

It does not mean that, God forbid, we want to upset the people there.

We are compelled, because they attacked us, to respond to them.

And the more pressure they apply, naturally the stronger our response will

be It will be stronger

In terms of our beliefs

we believe in the blessed month, which says: O God,

enrich every poor one, feed every hungry one,

clothe every naked one,

settle the debt of every debtor,

relieve every distressed one,

return every stranger, free every captive.

Meaning all of this in our view is our religion and our belief Our faith

abhors the killing of an innocent human being, it hates that

behavior that America and Israel have, who,

without any fear,

kill one hundred sixty- eight innocent children and feel no shame

at massacring fifty, sixty thousand people in Gaza, they feel no shame.

Then they want to say that we in Iran

want to kill people. We stand with strength against those who attack our country,

we will respond powerfully, and our nation, our people, and certainly our

armed forces

and all the Basij members who are present in every part of the country,

with all their being, defend our homeland will defend, and the dream they had

will certainly be disturbed.

Our Iran and our country will not so easily bow its head before bullying,

before oppression, before aggression, and it has not done so,

and there is no way it will so easily retreat in the face of these

threats they make. That notion they have that we apologized…

We are upset for the dear people who think that

this dispute in the region has worried them, we are sorry that they are worried.

But those who attacked us from their own soil will naturally receive an answer,

and they are being answered with strength. These two are separate from each other.

We are friends with the countries of the region, they are our brothers.

I said yesterday too, we must try to join hands and not let Israel and America

by deceiving and tricking

cause the countries of the region to stand against one another. I said it yesterday

and I say it today too:

inside our country and around our country

There are people who are worried that they

have a problem with us and with our country

In my opinion,

right now is not the time for them

to go and stand behind the policies that America and Israel are designing,

if we have disagreements, we must resolve them among ourselves,

we must not let them cause these

disagreements to serve their wicked intentions,

and that will not be possible Once again,

we are grateful to our dear people,

and to everyone who is present on the scene

and we ask our dear people that today they bring unity and

solidarity into the streets and onto all the scenes and show

it so it is not just one group or one faction,

we want to defend our country and our land, with all the problems we have,

with all the worries we have, our Iran and our nation,

in order to protect it, with all their being, from every group and faction and

way of thinking, will stand firm,

and we will not allow them to occupy even one span of our land or to be able

to seize it

Be victorious, dignified, and successful
