RNA – Speaking at the meeting on the purpose of organizing the Second International ‎Congress to Commemorate the 140 Martyred Clerics of the Defenders of the Holy Shrines in ‎Qom, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi referred to the blessings of the Islamic Revolution and stated, ‎‎“The Islamic Revolution has numerous blessings and its manifestations and blessings can be ‎presented in various dimensions.”‎

The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran continued, “Throughout the forty years since the ‎victory of the Islamic Revolution, the arrogant powers have been striving to play down‏ ‏the ‎achievements of the Islamic Revolution and consider them as insignificant. They have spent ‎a lot of money to make the Iranian people neglect the greatness of the Iranian nation and ‎create indifference in society.”‎

He considered Iran’s presence in the international arena as among the blessings of the ‎Islamic Revolution and stated, “The presence of the discourse of Islamic Revolution in the ‎international arena has been created waves and built networks and I want to say strongly ‎that this presence in the international arena is based on the axes of legality, rationality and ‎wisdom. While all the powers of the world have gathered to declare our presence in the ‎world as illegal, we declare that the discourse of Islamic Revolution doesn’t have any illegal ‎presence.”‎

Ayatollah Arafi added, “The dangerous wave of Daesh came with open and hidden support ‎from the United States and Israel, which Iran escaped with the help of friendly states. Its ‎assistance to the Islamic Resistance movements in the region against terrorism were ‎completely principled. The attempts to resist against the Takfiri and extremist movements, ‎such as the actions of the Islamic Resistance against Israel, were derived from within. Iran’s ‎actions against Daesh were advisory and based on international law between Iran and ‎countries friendly to us.”‎
