NOURNEWS- Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei addresses a meeting with the Supreme Assembly of Commanders of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps in Tehran on August 17, 2023.
Imam Khomeini's hussainia is decorated with pictures of martyred commanders and Imam Khomeini's words with the theme that "if there was no IRGC, there would be no country".
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, the members of the supreme assembly of commanders and officials of the IRGC met with the leader of the revolution at the same time as holding their annual meeting, and the last meeting was held in October 2018 with the presence of martyr, General Haj Qassem Soleimani.
Excerpts from the Leader of the Revolution's statements in this meeting are as it follows:
One of the main parts of the enemy’s activities is to tarnish the image of the IRGC and that of Basij. Why is that? Because the IRGC is awe-inspiring, Basij is impressive, which makes them worried and anxious. They are forced to use false news, rumors and all kinds of tricks and ploys just to tarnish and smear IRGC, the enemies want this pattern-making, learning and training to cease to exist.
The creation of IRGC at the beginning of the revolution was a unique phenomenon among the great revolutions of history. In major revolutions such as the French Revolution, the Bolshevik Soviet Revolution, groups were found at the beginning of the revolution and stood up as supporters of the revolution, they took actions, but the Corps was absolutely not comparable to those groups and those populations. Those groups were destructive, arbitrary, undisciplined, without adherence to principles. But the corpse wasn’t, the corps was formed from the beginning, was formed under the supervision of the centrality of the revolution.
IRGC was present everywhere in the country, but the center literally commanded and managed it. From the beginning of the formation of the Corps, the members of the Corps and the elements of the Corps enjoyed the values of religion and revolution, such as self-sacrifice, such as sacrifice, such as constant jihadist presence, day and night, such as obedience and submission in front of the honorable Imam. We were there from the beginning.
Throughout the history of the country, as far as I know, we do not know any military group that has such spiritual, moral and political health.
The IRGC, this unique and exceptional phenomenon did not stop; That is, it was not like that they started a movement, made a development and then stopped, no, this movement and has continued to this day, so that after about four decades, we have a huge and fully equipped defense and military center, the largest anti-terrorist organization in the world. The IRGC is the largest anti-terrorist organization in the world. It is a well-equipped military organization. It is an efficient and independent organization that can do things that many big armies in the world can't do.
One of the problems that we sometimes get into, and we must be careful not to get into is not to make a mistake in recognizing the enemy. Sometimes people make mistakes in knowing and deciphering the enemy. Imam Khomeini, may God bless him and grant him peace, with that "eye of insight" - that is, really, no better interpretation can be said in regard of that person; Literally a visionary who penetrated the hidden layers and saw things - he said shout at America whatever you want.
