Resistance of the Iranian nation against America

I am surprised at the degeneration of some of the contemporary leaders of the governments of our era; and I am surprised at the thinking and mentality of the governments of the region, subsequently, they are so abject and have surrendered totally. In addition to abjectness against America, they are also servile in the face of Israel. The thing, for which the unstable world is fearful, is Islam. They are afraid of an Islamic rule yet we must stand firmly and equip ourselves to face difficulties in the future. We cannot afford to lose our Islamic-humanitarian dignity. Praise be to God that our people are all aware and prepared. You are examining the great works being done by army, Guards Corps" Basij", and the rest are doing on the frontlines. Whenever they intend to move to the frontlines of war, it just remains similar as they are going towards the bridal chamber. Even at the dawn of Islam, such scenes were seldom witnessed. Some individuals cannot comprehend so much of self-sacrifice and overlook only the accomplishments. In any case, we must be prepared to concentrate on the existing situation while the imposed war has been launched against us and all the superpowers are hostile towards us. In such situation, while our government is facing difficulties, we should not expect that every desired thing should be available in our homes. We are all aware that these hostilities are not new because during the time of the honorable Prophet- may God's peace be upon him and his progeny- what unruly remarks and slander were leveled at him; yet he did not stop the preaching religion of Islam. Although at present, if there are shortages and deficiencies in the country yet we regret it and the government and the authorities are striving with all their strength to eliminate the shortages and important achievements have been accomplished. I hope that the situation will be getting improved with the help of God.
It seems likely that our security and welfare would be set right and our cemeteries would not have been filled with the bodies of our beloved martyrs If we had surrendered to America and the superpowers yet surly our independence, freedom and dignity would have been destroyed. Can we become the servants and slaves of America and the faithless governments in order to have some things available at cheaper prices and we would not have to face the losses of martyrs and injured. Never, the nation never bears this disgrace and it will not bow down. Iran will face up to America and by the grace of God, it will emerge victorious. God has repeatedly emphasized that we should not have relations with them, «1» and then for the sake of cheaper prices of goods, should we sell ourselves to them! You should not expect them to praise us; if they had praised you and me who are of the clergy, we would have fallen. The nations support you while the organizations established by the superpowers want to pillage the nations. It is for this reason that they are opposed to you. May God bless you with success!
May God's peace and mercy be upon you!
«۱»- Reference to verse ۲۸ of the Sourah Al-e `Imran, verses ۱۳۹ and ۱۴۴ of the Sourah an-Nisa and verse ۵۱ of the sourah al-Ma'idah.
