TEHRAN The Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday, "What I tell the students is to watch and identify the enemy." The Leader also called on the students to beware to identify enemies. "Strangers disguised as friends come among you. Identify them. You should look out for hidden hands. No one is admired for negligence. "When a blow is dealt on a negligent person, he is the primary person responsible for the damage...
be careful. The students belong to an honorable stratum of society. The enemy has targeted the students in the past few years." The Leader of the Islamic Revolution also said that the enemy has worked hard to pit the students against the Islamic Republic, but of no avail. "When some infiltrators took advantage of an opportunity to fish in the troubled waters and entered student circles, making some slogans and uttering some words, they should not think that we will make mistake.
No we will not make a mistake. We know our audience and our enemy. "The students are our children who belong to us and to the country. This is the enemy who wants to do mischief by infiltrating the ranks of students...the students themselves should be vigilant," the Leader said. Ayatollah Khamenei said that during this sensitive season when students are to take their final exams and young applicants are to sit for entrance examinations, which hands and which enemy are trying to deviate the youth and dissuade them from studying.
"Here, the students themselves are the first ones who should open their eyes and decide," the Leader said. Ayatollah Khamenei said, "I tell the Iranian nation that you, the brave nation, have kept behind the door the enemy which had been driven out of the country by the Islamic Revolution 20 years ago. Be careful... The enemy is making attempts to infiltrate the country.
"Give more care. The enemy has now targeted our national security. National security is vital to a nation. In the absence of national security no government can work, nor can a stone be laid on the other for construction," the Leader said. The Supreme Leader said due to chaos, no economic, cultural, social and political problem in the country can be solved.
"In the absence of security, every thing is destroyed. The enemy has targeted this. The Iranian nation in every part of the country should realize this. Thanks God, the Iranian nation is vigilant." Ayatollah Khamenei said, "I tell you, the youth that you are the hope of the revolution and Islam. Your behavior can lead the country toward progress rapidly. When a young individual speaks and decides with meditation and patience, the country will become prosperous.
"When the blind emotions appear, the enemy will take advantage of it. If you heard even a word which makes you angry, for example, if they uttered an affront to the leadership, you should keep silent," the Supreme Leader said. The Leader told the youth, "Reserve your power for the day on which the country will need it, the day on which the young and faithful forces should stand against the enemy.
Don't mind if a young individual deceived by the enemy utters some insulting word. However, I forgive him." The Leader said, "But I tell the enemy whoever and wherever it is, our main enemies in spying networks are the designers of these plots.'' "Where is the money allocated by the U.S. Congress to campaign against the Islamic Republic of Iran, spent? No doubt that the budget and a sum several times this budget are spent on such schemes against Iran," the Leader said.
The enemies should know that the dream of the U.S. returning to Iran is a pipe dream which will never come true, Ayatollah Khamenei said. The Leader said, "The political elements who were humiliated and discarded as a decayed tooth by the Iranian nation, have been lying in ambush over the past 18 and 19 years to take revenge on the nation, the late Imam, the name of the late Imam Khomeini and the path of the late Imam Khomeini. "They also should know that they made a mistake in this event too.
They betrayed themselves and revealed their true face. "It is right they dealt an unmanly blow on the intelligence system and the Law Enforcement Forces (at dorm event), but the faithful unknown soldiers of the Islamic Republic of Iran obtain information." The Leader said the enemy could not keep this nation away from the path of Islam and the Islamic Revolution, independence and campaign against their enemies through such methods.
Ayatollah Khamenei addressing himself to the leaders of political groups said, "Now realize what we said before. When the friends get entangled with futile conflicts, the enemy takes advantage of it. Here you are, this is an example. Did you see how the enemy misused it. Did you see how the enemy stung?" The Leader said, "Put aside your differences. Of course, I don't insist that all groups should think the same way.
Set a limit for political conflicts and set a red line. Don't enter into conflict that are out of control, thus enabling the enemy to come to the scene." "What a hue and cry was made over the press law or over other issues. All those was because a legislation was being passed in the parliament. I don't mention a specific political current, rather my audience is all the parties.
To me, the path of Almighty, the path of Islam and the late Imam Khomeini and protection of the country and the interests of the people is the yardstick. Be careful," the Leader said. Meanwhile, President Mohammad Khatami here Monday termed the recent incidents at Tehran University dormitory as one of the most bitter incidents of the Islamic Republic society and system.
Speaking in a meeting with the Minister of Culture and Higher Education Mostafa Moin and his deputies, he said ``The more lively, energetic and active our university students and instructors, the more vibrant and more active our society will become and that ``those who would not like our society to be vibrant and alive, do not want our university to be vibrant and alive.'' He added that some outlooks in the society still consider universities as places for spending time and having fun and even regard them as being against values.
This is while universities in Iran have always stood up against aggressions and dependencies and the role of universities have been clear both before and after the revolution. ``They have defended our independent identity and dignified society and even Islamic movements inside our universities have been among the most active and liveliest ones in our society,'' Khatami said. The president then laid emphasis on the links connecting universities and government and termed as effective making use of criticisms and proposals set forth by the universities on current state of affairs and major axes such as economic rehabilitation in the third development plan.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the president touched on the intentions of those opposing the system either due to ignorance or reluctance to see progress of the country, saying the only way of preventing to fall into such a dangerous trap is vigilance, identification of main interests and refusal to be engaged in transient excitements. "There are some who want to humiliate university and there are others who do not intend to defend university and trying to fish in troubled waters and take advantage of the situation to reach their political ends," the president said.
Although such misleading words and moves have reportedly had the least effect on academicians, there are some who try to provoke some people against university and fan flames of conflict, warned President Khatami. President Khatami said that universities are expected to be symbols of obedience to law, calm, order and prevention of unrest and violence. Calm atmosphere, he added, does not mean banning students from raising their views and demands, said Khatami, adding that "if we condemn violence and make efforts for the rule of law, the first prerequisite is that we should be pioneer in encountering tension and violence." He said under such circumstances, students should cooperate with the government, allow restoration of law and order to the community and prevent eruption of conflicts between academicians and other classes of the society.
No unlawful act should be committed so as to allow adoption of a firm and decisive decision consistent with the interests of the system, Khatami concluded. (IRNA)
