TEHRAN – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei announced on Saturday that Israel and its patron U.S. will be receiving a “tooth-breaking response” for what they have been doing against Iran and the rest of the Axis of Resistance.

The Leader made the remarks during a meeting with students from all across the country. The meeting was held on the eve of the National Day of Students and also the National Day of Fighting Global Arrogance.

During the gathering, Ayatollah Khamenei elucidated the fundamental grounds for the Iranian nation’s battle against the oppression and excessive demands of the United States, spanning over 70 years.

In his address, Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the Islamic, national, rational, wise, and humane resistance displayed by the Iranian nation against the U.S. arrogance will continue with a correct roadmap and without negligence or delay.

These moves will be in accordance with international law, the Leader pointed out.

On this victorious path, he asserted, any hostile actions taken against the Iranian nation by the Zionist regime and the United States will be met with a crushing response.

The Leader pointed out the continuous and unwavering efforts of the Iranian nation and officials in confronting global arrogance. "The general movement of the nation and officials against global arrogance and the criminal system governing the current world order is a logical one, in line with religion, ethics, Islamic and international laws," he stated.

Ayatollah Khamenei described the Iranian nation's fight against global arrogance as a permanent endeavor. "Designating a day as the National Day of Fighting Against Global Arrogance is, in fact, to ensure that this historic battle will not be forgotten. This is especially significant given the attempts by certain people to sow doubt in the nation's courageous and conscious efforts to stand up and fight against the US and its proxies in the region, and subsequently to deny this opposition," he highlighted.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution also criticized individuals who seek to portray the actions of the Iranian people against imperialism as irrational, saying, "We do not accuse these individuals of treachery. However, when they misrepresent this just, rational movement which aligns with international logic, as illogical, they demonstrate at the very least that they are shortsighted and lacking in foresight."

He asserted that the Iranian people's cherished status in the global public opinion, despite the extensive efforts of the hegemonic system’s media system, is a testament to the effectiveness of the Islamic Republic's successful and rational resistance. "The fact that people in various countries took to the streets in celebration after Operation True Promise indicates that the Iranian nation’s movement is not only in accordance with international logic but also with Islamic and Quranic logic."

In continuation of his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that the actions of the enemy will not go unanswered by those who are working to fight them on behalf of the Iranian nation, and that such actions will not be forgotten. He asserted that both the Zionist regime and the United States will undoubtedly receive a “toot-breaking response” for their actions against the Iranian nation and the Resistance Front.

During the meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution also addressed the issue of why the Iranian nation is fighting against global arrogance. "Without a doubt, this battle is the result of the oppressive and despicable domination of the U.S. government over Iran and our beloved nation," he stated.

Referring to certain misguided historians who attribute the beginning of Iran's opposition to America to the seizure of the U.S. embassy, known as spy den, the Leader stated, "That is a lie. This opposition has existed since at least August 19, 1953, because it was on that date that the Americans betrayed the trust of [Prime Minister] Mosaddegh’s national and popular government, overthrowing it in a bloody coup before reinstating the oppressive Pahlavi regime."

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the establishment of SAVAK, and its training of interrogators in brutal interrogation techniques, along with the presence of tens of thousands of American advisors involved in military and government interference, infiltration, and espionage as other anti-Iranian measures that were undertaken by the U.S. He highlighted that these actions were designed to humiliate the Iranian nation and assert dominance over Iran.

Referring to the Pahlavi regime’s support for the Zionist regime, Ayatollah Khamenei stated, "The Pahlavi [regime], with the guidance of the U.S. and the provision of oil and other forms of support, was strengthening the usurping regime in an unforgivable betrayal. This was occurring while most of the governments in the region had cut off ties with the Zionist regime."

"Unfortunately, some governments today are also turning a blind eye on the heinous crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza and Lebanon, providing economic and even military assistance to this bloodthirsty enemy," he added.

The Leader dismissed doubts raised by some individuals regarding the possibility of opposing a powerful, advanced, and dominant system such as the United States, citing the Iranian nation’s successful experience over the past 46 years. "The Iranian nation has undoubtedly succeeded in this battle so far, as evidenced by its ability to weaken America’s power," he noted.
