Hawzah News Agency- Speaking at the Shahid Avval School service station, the senior cleric outlined the three pillars of Iran's victory over its enemies: the battlefield, diplomacy, and the street.
"From its inception, the Islamic Revolution has navigated every crisis and scaled every peak of progress through the vigilant presence and loyalty of its people," Ayatollah Shabzendehdar stated. "Today, this cohesion, insight, and resilience witnessed nationwide has been the bedrock of the Iranian nation's victory over treacherous and bloodthirsty enemies who dreamt of dismembering this country. The people's presence and patience have blown all their schemes to dust."
'Bravo to the Revolutionary People'
Praising the crowds for standing firm despite economic hardships, he said, "Bravo to you dear ones who, despite all problems and rising prices, have taken to the scene and displayed the power of the Iranian nation to the world."
The cleric underscored the rallying cry echoing through the streets: "'Hayhat Minna al-Dhilla'—Never to Humiliation—is the slogan of the followers of Imam Hussein. We will never accept disgrace, and those seeking to spread hopelessness in society are deluded and will never reach their vile objective."
'Two Eyes in the Heart'
Quoting Imam Sadiq (PBUH), Ayatollah Shabzendehdar noted that Shias possess "four eyes"—two in the head and two in the heart. "With those eyes of the heart, they analyze affairs and know where and how to take a stand. Endowed with divine insight, they stand like mighty mountains against enemies, unshaken by threats."
The Three Pillars of Victory
The Secretary of the Supreme Council broke down the formula for victory into three essential components:
1. The Battlefield
"The military arena is entrusted to the faithful, courageous, and command-obedient armed forces," he said, asserting that they "performed wonders that stunned the world." He warned, "They have not yet displayed their entire capability. Should the enemies persist, they will see what devastating blows our forces can deliver."
2. Diplomacy: No Inch of Retreat
Turning to the diplomatic front, Ayatollah Shabzendehdar called on Iranian diplomats to follow the Supreme Leader's guidelines rigidly. "We hope our diplomats act firmly, leaving no room for doubt or illusion. They must not retreat an inch before the enemy."
He stressed that the immense sacrifices made render any concession unacceptable. "We have paid a heavy price. The enemy martyred our Supreme Leader, our great commanders, our dear people, and our schoolchildren in Minab's Shajareh Tayyebeh School. The time for backing down is over."
The senior cleric explicitly warned against any ambiguous statements or clauses that could embolden the adversary. "Any word or sentence that makes the enemy think we are retreating is impermissible. Our diplomats, armed with the Leader's wise directives, must deliver what the people in the streets demand."
3. The Street: Persistent Presence Until Victory
The third pillar, Ayatollah Shabzendehdar identified, is the sustained presence of the people in the streets. "The enemy imagined this nation had grown weary of the system. But as our martyred Leader said, God Almighty has raised this people to stand firm as mountains against ill-wishers."
He urged continued mobilization: "The people bear the hardships with patience. They will not abandon the streets until final victory is secured. This dense, continuous, and unwavering popular presence will dash all enemy hopes."
In closing, he affirmed that the armed forces, diplomats, and all branches of government—backed by the resolute support of the nation—will press forward with greater determination toward ultimate victory.
