RNA – Speaking at the 14th National Conference of Cultural Headquarters of the Dawn of the ‎Islamic Revolution entitled “The Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution in Self-Building, ‎Socialization and Civilization,” Hujjat al-Islam Ahmad Salek-Kashani, the vice-president of the ‎Cultural Committee of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, said, “In the Statement on the ‎Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei] has described two strategies of conflict between the Islamic world and ‎the arrogant powers as well as empathy and harmony between Muslims.”‎
‎ ‎
The representative of the people of Esfahan in the Islamic Consultative Assembly said that ‎the Islamic world will prevail over the arrogant powers on the basis of the divine promise ‎and added, “Today, it’s no longer about the West and the East, but the Islamic world against ‎the front of international disbelief.”‎
‎ ‎
He stated that over the last forty years we have gone through five major seditious events ‎and said, “The latest seditious event by the enemies was the gasoline sedition that was ‎created by the mistakes of some officials and by riding the wave of the enemies. Today, the ‎perpetrators of these events must be responsible for the blood that was shed and the ‎damage caused.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Salek-Kashani noted, “The enemies were trying to prevent the 22 Bahman ‎rallies [marking the Anniversary of the Islamic Revolution] and the holding of the [upcoming] ‎parliamentary elections by creating the recent sedition in Iran but this sedition had a ‎premature delivery and revealed their hands to everyone.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence cited the efforts of the United States to prevent the continuation of the Islamic ‎Revolution and said, “The Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution was ‎issued when John Bolton [former US National Security Advisor] and Donald Trump [US ‎President] announced that Iran wouldn’t see the fortieth anniversary of the Islamic ‎Revolution. However, we witnessed that none of their plots achieved fruition.”‎

He emphasized that in the Statement on the Second Phase of the Islamic Revolution, the ‎Supreme Leader said that the Islamic Revolution will never be eliminated despite the ‎enemies’ animosity and added, “The enemies can never destroy us with their own efforts but ‎it must be known that the internal decay within the system is the greatest affliction to the ‎Islamic Revolution and we must not allow this issue to be caused by the loss of unity and ‎empathy.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Salek-Kashani emphasized that the positions of the Supreme Leader blinded ‎the sedition over the increased price of gasoline and said, “He came forth to protect the ‎Islamic system and strengthen the intra-organizational strength to protect the Islamic system ‎and freedom-seeking movements in the world. In the hard battle between pure Islam and ‎the arrogant powers, he sidelined the front of international disbelief, demonstrated nobility to ‎the arrogant powers and ensured the security of the country.”‎
‎ ‎
In conclusion, he noted, “If the Supreme Leader didn’t support the decision of the chiefs of ‎the government, the riots would have been validated, the pillars of the system would have ‎been discredited and the United States and its allies and internal opposition movements ‎would have been made happy.”‎
