RNA – Speaking at a meeting of the Guardian Council on September 26th, Ayatollah Ahmad ‎Jannati commemorated Sacred Defence Week, which marks the beginning of the Iran-Iraq ‎War, and stressed that it’s essential to protect and repeat the courage and the sacrifices of ‎the warriors given the current circumstances, stating, “The bravery and sacrifices of the ‎warriors in the eight-year long Holy Defence must be transferred to future generations so ‎that we understand that Islam and the Islamic Revolution have the ability to confront all ‎powers.”‎

The secretary-general of the Guardian Council referred to the bitter and horrific terrorist ‎attack against a military parade in the southwestern Iranian city of Ahvaz which was ‎perpetrated by the anti-revolutionary al-Ahwaziyah movement and offered his condolences ‎to the families of the martyrs and the wounded and called for the responsible authorities to ‎swiftly punish the perpetrators of this tragic incident.

He argued that although this attack was regretful and sadness, it led to the unity and ‎harmony of the brave people of Ahvaz and their reaction to this terrible act of terrorism has ‎encouraged their friends and disillusioned their enemies.‎

Ayatollah Jannati also celebrated the beginning of the school year by quoting the words of ‎the late founder of the Islamic Revolution, Imam Khomeyni, who said, “If you raise our little ‎children in an Islamic manner, the independence and liberty of the country will be insured” ‎and added, “In this regard, it’s necessary to employee teachers who possess Islamic ‎morality and training.”

The senior cleric expressed concern over the high prices and the gradually increasing costs of ‎commodities and services in Iran and said, “The decline in the value of the national currency ‎is unacceptable and an urgent and effective solution must be applied.”‎

In conclusion, Ayatollah Jannati praised President Hasan Rouhani’s speech at the United ‎Nations General Assembly and congratulated him for his dignified stance against the hostile ‎positions of the United States in his speech and considered them as taken from a position of ‎power.
