TEHRAN -- Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said here on Monday that all necessary financial and moral means should be provided for consolidating the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), which is the distinguished pillar of the immense building of the Islamic establishment.

Addressing a group of senior IRGC commanders, Ayatollah Khamenei said that with God Almighty's grace Iranian nation would continue to be prepared for resistance and perseverance against enemies, IRNA reported.

Ayatollah Khamenei recalled God's irrevocable promise for absolute victory of Muslims and said resistance against enemies would make them disappointed in overcoming the Iranian nation.

The Supreme Leader said the past two centuries marked efforts by the arrogant powers and colonialists to plunder interests and resources of nationals and establish an international tyrannical system in global communities but Islamic Revolution of Iran derailed the process of pillaging by international dictatorship, sparking strong hostility toward Iranian nation.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that on threshold of the victory of Islamic Revolution, the U.S. and Israel tried to completely violate the rights of the Palestinian nation so as to put an end to the issue of Palestine but thanks to Iran's Islamic Revolution, Palestinian youth with empty hands have brought the most ill-nature element of Zionist regime, i.e. the criminal Sharon, to his kneels.

He said the Zionist regime is now badly engaged in the occupied lands thanks to the blessings of the Intifada.

He added that had the greedy Zionists not been gripped with Intifada, they would have undoubtedly acted to dominate Egypt, Syria and Lebanon and other Middle East states.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the arrogant powers come across with problems upon invasion on any Muslim states as they do in Iraq thanks to the nations' Islamic vigilance.

He added that Iranian nation is not surprised at the continued hostility of hegemonistic U.S. and international Zionism as well as other powers that bully Islamic system. He said materialization of holy Quran's prediction on continuation of the hostility has made the faith of the Iranian nation stronger.

"The invasion and hostility would continue as long as enemies have not been disappointed; so, efforts should be made to have pessimism in dominating the Iranian nation cast its shadow on the enemy camp," said Ayatollah Khamenei.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei referred to the IRGC as a divine gift for Iranian nation and the country's history and said blessings of the auspicious institution would remain everlasting both at present and future in Iran.

The Ayatollah highlighted the IRGC's success in passing difficult eras in the past quarter a century and said abundant and rich experience and a team of resistant and faithful personnels have turned the IRGC into a highly honorable and powerful establishment.

The IRGC Commander General Yahya Rahim Safavi and the leadership's representative at the IRGC Hojatoleslam Movahedi Kermani had prior to the Supreme Leader's speech voiced the IRGC’s readiness to defend Iranian nation and the Islamic establishment.
