Ayatollah Khamenei Warns of Enemy Onslaught on Spirituality in Iran


TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei, in a recent meeting with members of a committee tasked with holding a congress to commemorate martyrs of the province of South Khorasan, cautioned against the enemy’s plots to damage spiritual values in Iran.

The enemies have launched an onslaught against moral and spiritual values in the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Khamenei said in comments in the meeting, held on November 5. The Leader’s comments were made public on Tuesday.

“The enemies’ onslaught at the spiritual level is much more dangerous and troubling than the ones at the level of ordinary issues, hard attacks and the like,” the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei underscored, though, that the hostile attempts to damage the spiritual values will end in failure in the same way that the “hard war and hard pressures” against Iran have resulted in failure.

Hailing the “revolutionary growth” in Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei said that the progressive development will undoubtedly go on despite the hostile attempts.

In comments in January, Ayatollah Khamenei warned that the enemies have mobilized all efforts to harm the Islamic Republic, saying the fact is that the enemy has been always seeking to find an opportunity to infiltrate into Iran and harm the Iranian nation.

The Leader had described the Iranian nation’s courage, devotion and faith as the main factors in warding off the hostile moves.
