Yesterday I was at Enghelab Square,

the guy was chanting“ Zarif is a compromiser, the missiles are weak.”

I mean, up until before

the October 7 war we thought that self- defeat and self- humiliation

only existed in Westoxified intellectuals, I don’t know, in the Zeibakalams.

I mean these people, for forty- seven years have seen everything as dark.

They haven’t accepted any white spot, any progress,

any development in Iran after the Revolution. They haven’t acknowledged it.

Man, it is really miserable,

now that they have built Bridge One in Karaj,

we have just realized that this is the tallest bridge in the Middle East.

They build petrochemical plants, they build Asaluyeh,

and we only then realize, wow, the country actually has infrastructure too!

Now a bunch of these Hezbollah types

are doing exactly what the intellectuals did. I mean, whatever the IRGC and the

Islamic Republic do in this war, they say,“ No, not acceptable, it’s not enough!”

They insult the commanders.

Who was the first one who said the IRGC’s operation was fake?!

That they hit an empty base.

Who said they do not have the will to hit Israel?

Do you remember what they did to Bagheri and Rashid and They bring greetings?

Saying these guys are, I don’t know, diplomats,

these guys are statement writers, they’re comfort seekers, they’re cowards.

Praise be to God,

everyone that this crowd disgraced became a martyr. They stood there with their

wife and kids and became martyrs. Yesterday I had gone to Enghelab Square, someone

there was chanting,“ Zarif is an appeaser, our missiles are weak!” What’s weak?

The IRGC’s missiles are weak?

Right now the whole world is astonished at how they managed,

under forty- seven years of sanctions, to reach this missile power.

Then they say,“ Man, the missiles are weak!” The guy was, I don’t know,

chanting,“ Seyed Majid, fearless marksman, don’t be afraid, keep firing.”

Who’s afraid, exactly? The commanders are afraid?!

What more does the IRGC have to do for you to believe in this country?!

Believe in the armed forces. This is no joke, sir!

From top to bottom, Israel is under missile fire. It has become a world war,

we are fighting the whole world. We are fighting America, we are fighting Israel,

we are fighting NATO countries, we are fighting the region. And still they say,“ No,

it’s not enough!”

What more does the IRGC have to do for you to be satisfied?! Aren’t you ashamed?

Stop this self- humiliation. They say,“ No, Trump called Iranians bastards.”

Man, for forty- seven years the Islamic Republic has been cursing out

America’s mother and sister! Khamenei, a martyr till the end, was humiliating Trump.

What country has the guts to do that? No!

We have to respond to Israel right now because it hit Hezbollah.

Man, do you even know what is going on in the war room? Do you know what the

commanders are thinking? How many missiles we have?

What order has the commander in chief given?

These are secret matters, we have no idea.

The guy has not even done his military service,

but he went on Telegram and started a channel called some strategic think tank!

Now he is striking a military strategist pose! Do you remember, in the last

meeting between the Leader and the students, in Esfand 1403,

a student went up and said,“ Sir,

when it is time for war, our commanders become statement- writers.”

The Leader replied,“ No,

my dear, it is not like that.” You have no idea, these are secret matters.

My brother! My sister! War has its ups and downs, it has victories, it has defeats,

it has taking hits, it has hitting back, it has retreats, it has advances.

We cannot, every time something happens, every time we take a hit,

start chanting slogans against the commanders and the country.

Many people are under the psychological operations of Trump's tweets.

Remember when al- Asad was hit? We fired fourteen missiles,

six or seven of them landed. Trump announced,“ No!

We intercepted thirteen of them in the air, and one fell in the desert.”

Until that photo of the radar center it had hit came out,

even the Hezbollah supporters did not believe it.

Do you not understand that Trump is carrying out psychological operations on you?!

Stop this self- belittling. Yes!

The Islamic Republic has raised our expectations, it has created a new world for us,

it has created new possibilities for us. This is good, it is good that we

make demands. But it must not turn into extreme perfectionism.

Otherwise it turns into its own opposite,

meaning it turns into self- humiliation.

Stop it with this self- humiliation, do not do these things.

I swear to God it has divine punishment.
