RNA – Ayatollah Khamenei told a group of Hajj officials in Tehran Monday that the Iranian nation\u2019s independence, resistance and refusal to submit to bullying angers the United States.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe resistance of the Islamic Republic of Iran against America and the Iranian nation\u2019s refusal to undergo bullying is a fascinating fact for the world and this fascination should be used to spread the truth about Islam and the Iranian nation,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei said the model of \u201creligious democracy\u201d being practiced in Iran is unknown to the world, adding the Hajj is an opportunity to promote it and explain the reasons behind the US enmity with Iran, while \u201cmillions of propaganda instruments are operating against the Islamic Republic\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe reason Americans are angry with the Iranian nation is the appeal which arises from the image of resistance in an independent system standing up against a highway bully,\u201d the Leader said.<\/p>\n

Tensions between Iran and the United States have risen to new highs following the Unites States\u2019 assassination of top Iranian military General Qassem Soleimani in Iraq and the Islamic Republic\u2019s response to the terrorist move with a volley of ballistic missiles pounding two US bases.<\/p>\n

US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo released a video after the attack, in which he said Washington wanted \u201cIran to simply behave like a normal nation.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei said the \u201caim of the Americans in saying that Iran should behave like a normal nation is that the Islamic Republic drop its new message for the world, that is combining popular opinion with Islamic thought and religious principles in the formation and administration of society.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIntroducing\u00a0the political foundations of the Islamic Republic’s system and explaining its new message to the world is another important and necessary task in the Hajj,\u201d the Leader added.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei described the Hajj as a political, ideological and social movement, saying many countries are unaware of its significance and function.<\/p>\n

The late father of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini \u201ctaught us that the Hajj is a serious and international mobilization point, and bears many benefits for the Islamic Ummah,\u201d the Leader said.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei also touched on immense efforts made by the global powers to prevent the formation of a united Islamic society.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Islamic Ummah has not yet formed in its true sense, namely a cohesive unit that acts with common will and purpose and unfortunately – against the invitation to Islamic unity by well-wishers and sympathizers –\u00a0slanders, conflicts and wars are common in the Islamic countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
