According to the public relations report of Tehran University of Medical Sciences, quoted from the site of the Office of Preservation and Publication of the Works of Grand Ayatollah Khamenei, his statements at the joint graduation ceremony of the students of the armed forces officer universities are as follows:

I am very happy and I thank God that after a relatively long holiday in meeting with you, dear young people, graduates, this success was achieved again this year. The entry of several thousand young people into the armed forces is a good news, a good news that is repeated every year. Whether the young people who are educated in universities and get an officer rank and enter and work, or those who enter the university and get a diploma and study, each of them somehow injects a new spirit into the armed forces. This arrival of young people has a message of renewal and strength; Wherever the young people enter, in any complex, in any organization they enter, they actually carry the message of strength and renewal of that centre with them. The presence of Iranian youth in all fields is promising; That is, in various scientific, economic, political, organizational, military, etc. sectors, wherever young people enter, they bring with them the good news of hope, renewal and innovation.

Today there is a misleading advertising stream that wants to promote the opposite of this; The aim of this propaganda is to pretend that the Iranian youth is disconnected from values ​​and is hopeless about the future and does not feel responsible; This is followed by an advertising stream. This is the picture of reality; It is exactly the opposite of the reality in our country. Our young generation has had a brilliant movement in all fields and fields until today, and it will be the same in the future, God willing: whether in defense of the homeland, whether in defense of security, whether in helping the resistance front in the entire region - in this huge and holy movement to defend the shrine - whether in social services or in scientific advances - which you are looking at, scientific advances At any point, it is actually on the shoulders of the youth, and they are the ones who are the drivers of this movement - whether in all religious rituals, this Arbaeen procession - whether it is the millions of Iranian youth who went and traveled the road from Najaf to Karbala, or the millions of youth who in the country itself, They marched in the cities, as Arbaeen, as those far away from that abode of evangelism and spirituality - whether in the field of production and innovation that you see on TV, that every day a new movement is made in a part of the country's production and industry sectors. Our young people are offering, whether in dealing with the epidemic or in the religious aid movement, whether in cultural jihad, or in relief on the occasion of natural disasters, floods and earthquakes and the like; At all Wherever you look, you see the presence of young people in bold. This young man cannot be disappointed, this young man cannot be detached from values, this young man is a tireless force in the middle of the front, and of course, the revolutionary and believing youth were the leaders in all these cases. This is the situation of young people.

Well, from this point of view, if we observe your presence - that you have gathered in this Imam Hassan Mojtaba University and they are hearing this in other universities - then your presence and your entry into the armed forces is a great asset; Your presence is a great asset, of course, along with the experience of the veterans and the knowledge of the commanders.

Strengthening the armed forces is strengthening the country. One of the strong pillars in strengthening the country is the armed forces. Of course, the strengthening of the country is not only dependent on the armed forces; There are other strong pillars: scientific progress is the source of the country's progress; The general faith of the people and the penetration of faith in the hearts is a source of national strength; A government created by the people and relying on the people is a source of pride for a country; All of these are there, but the presence of armed forces and military power is also an important means to strengthen the foundation of the country. These various factors can preserve and protect the country from harm and enmity. Of course, this belongs to all countries, it is not specific to our country; All countries need these tools of strength, but in a country like ours, which is facing bully and bully enemies like America and their ilk, this is more important; Therefore, the defense power must be strengthened.

I have always said this, I will repeat it again: the defense power must be strengthened. A part from outside the armed forces, a part from inside the armed forces; I will deal with the latter. The officials of the armed forces must take new and up-to-date solutions to strengthen the armed forces, among which is the smartening of training and military tools, which, thank God, has started in our armed forces, but the field of work is still very open. Today, the intelligentization of all movements of the armed forces, including military tools, weapons, and even ammunition, is one of the most important issues. Or research and scientific advances in the armed forces, which is the strengthening of the armed forces. Or designing complex war games. Today, world wars are combined wars. You know; Hard war and soft war, intellectual war, cultural war, war with various weapons, cognitive war, and the like are the reason for attacking a nation or a country.

So, what is the main responsibility of the armed forces? protection of national security; This is what you young people who have just entered this path should be proud of. The responsibility of the armed forces is the responsibility of the country's public security. What does "security" mean? Security is the infrastructure of all aspects of a society's life, it is a public infrastructure; From personal issues, to social issues, to public issues, to foreign issues; Security is the infrastructure of all this. In personal matters, the meaning of security is that you can sleep safely in your house at night, you can send your child to school in the morning without worry, you can go to the place of business, you can go to Friday prayer without worry. Look, look at those countries that don't have this carelessness in any of these steps; They can't sleep safely at night, they can't go to work during the day, they can't watch sports games safely, they can't go to Friday prayers, they can't travel. It is not specific to small countries either; In big countries, worst of all, America, there is no security in restaurants, there is no security in universities, there is no security in children's schools, there is no security in stores. "Security" in personal matters means this; It means that you, your children, your family can live with a sense of security; May your work, business, travel, and entertainment be safe. "Security" in personal matters means this; It means that you, your children, your family can live with a sense of security; May your work, business, travel, and entertainment be safe. "Security" in personal matters means this; It means that you, your children, your family can live with a sense of security; May your work, business, travel, and entertainment be safe.

In more general issues, in a university or seminary or research institute or think tank; Be able to sit and think, work, research, study; It cannot be done without security. If there was no security, these advances would not have been achieved; Wherever progress has been made, it has been thanks to the existence of security; Without security, the work becomes difficult. to economic investment; [If] you want to invest for the economic development of the country, it cannot be done without security; Transit cannot be done without security, production cannot be done without security; Security is the infrastructure of all these things.

Well, armed organizations are the providers of this constant and ubiquitous need for the country and for the general public; This is not an honor. The army is the same, the Corps is the same, the law enforcement organization is the same, the Basij is the same, each of them provides security in a way. The person who attacks the police station is attacking the security of the country; The one who attacks the Basij base is attacking the country's security; The one who insults the army or the sepah in his statements, speeches, and conversations is insulting the country's security. Weakening the organizations of the armed forces is weakening the country's security. Weakening the police means strengthening the criminals. The police has the duty to stand against the criminal and ensure the safety of the people. The person who attacks the police actually leaves the people defenseless against criminals, against thugs, against thieves, against extortionists. The great privilege of our country is that the security we have is endogenous security. It is different if a country, a nation, creates security for itself from within itself, with its own forces, with its own power, with its own thoughts and ideas, or someone comes from outside and says, I will create security for you, I will protect you; like a person who protects his milking cow; They are very different. Our security is innate. We do not rely on anyone for our security. We have been able to create and maintain this security with the strength of God, with the grace of God, with the success of the Lord, with the support of the Guardian of the Age (sacrificing souls), with the support of the nation, with the standing of the officials of the armed forces. The one who relies on external power, the same external power will leave him on the day of fear; He neither can nor wants to protect him. Well, these sentences about the issues of the armed forces; Remember these; Be proud, follow this movement, consider your work as something according to God's pleasure and follow this work for God.

And a few words about recent events. The first thing I want to say is that in the events of the last few days, most of all, the law enforcement organization of the country was wronged, Basij was wronged, and the Iranian nation was wronged. They oppressed Of course, the nation appeared completely strong in this incident as in other incidents; as always, as before; It will be the same in the future. In the future, wherever the enemies want to create a disturbance, the brave and faithful nation of Iran is the one that will protect the chest and have the most effect. they enter the field; and entered the field. Yes, the Iranian nation is oppressed, but it is strong; Like Amir al-Mu'minin, like the master of the pious, his own master Ali (peace be upon him), who was the strongest and the most oppressed.

In this incident that happened, a young girl died; Well, it was a bitter incident, our hearts were also burned, but the reaction to this incident without an investigation, without any Muslim issue, was not that a few people came to make the street unsafe, to create insecurity for the people. Disrupt the security, burn the Koran, remove the hijab from the head of a veiled woman, burn the mosque and Husayniyah, burn the bank, burn people's cars. Reacting to an issue that is now regrettable does not cause such movements to be carried out; These movements were not normal, not natural. This disturbance was planned; this disturbance was planned. If it wasn't for this young girl's case, they would have made another excuse to create insecurity in the country this year on the first of Mehr for the reason I will explain. Who planned this? I clearly say that this planning is the work of America, the work of the usurping and fake Zionist regime and their followers; They are sitting and planning. Their employees, mercenaries and salary earners, some traitorous Iranians who are outside the country, helped them.

Some people, like us, say that "a foreign enemy caused such and such an incident", as if they are sensitive to this word "foreign enemy"; until we say "Sir! This work was the work of foreigners, it was the work of foreign enemies", immediately they shield their chests to defend the American spy agency or the Zionists! They use all kinds of analysis, all kinds of fallacious rhetoric, to prove that no, there was no foreigner's hand in this case. There are many disturbances in the world; Well, look, in Europe, in France, every once in a while a detailed riot breaks out in the streets of Paris; I am asking if there is a history of the President of the United States and the House of Representatives of the United States supporting rioters? Is there a history of sending a message that we are with you? Is there a history of mass media affiliated with American capitalism and the American government and their mercenaries, like some regional governments, including the Saudi government, to support the agitator? Is there a history of such a thing? Is there a record that they announced that we provide such and such hardware and software to the rioters so that they can easily communicate with each other and follow their work? Is there a history of such a thing anywhere in the world, in any country? But it happened here; Not once, not twice, many times. So, how come you don't see the foreign hand? How can an intelligent person not feel that behind the scenes of these events other hands are at work, other policies are at work?

Of course, they falsely express their feelings because someone has passed away; [But] they lie and are not affected in any way; They are happy, happy because they got an excuse to create an incident; they lie Here, the officials of the three powers expressed regret and sympathized with them; Well, then the specific elements that I will mention now, kill other people, without crime, without crime. The judiciary promised to follow the matter to the end; Well, that's what research means; It means to follow the work, to see the result, to see if there is a culprit or not and who is the culprit. How do you slander and insult an organization, a huge group of servants, for the possibility that a mistake was made by one or two people, which is not certain and has not been investigated? There is no logic behind this; This has no other factor except the work of spy agencies, except the work of malicious foreign politicians.

So, what is the motivation of foreign governments? What I feel, their motivation is that they feel that the country is progressing towards all-round power and they cannot tolerate this. They feel it, they see it. They see that, thank God, some of the old knots are being opened. Of course, the country has a lot of problems, some of these problems have been going on for years, [but] there is a serious movement to solve these problems, to open these knots. They see the movement towards progress accelerating in the country; This is a reality. Humans observe and feel an accelerated movement in all parts; They feel this too. They do not want this to happen. They see that semi-defunct factories have been put into operation, they see that knowledge bases have been activated, they see that advanced production is showing itself day by day in some sectors, they see that things are being done that can neutralize the attack of sanctions - which is the enemy's only weapon at the moment. slow They see this. In order to stop this movement, they have planned; They have planned for the university, they have planned for the street; have planned; The enemy has planned that the university will be closed, the young generation will be entertained, new issues will arise for the country's officials; problems arise in the northwest of the country, in the southeast of the country; It's all fun; These are the things that are created and provoked to stop the progressive movement of the country. Of course they are wrong; They make mistakes both in the north-west and in the south-east. I have lived among the Baloch people; They are among the ethnic groups deeply loyal to the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Republic. Kurds are one of the most advanced Iranian ethnic groups; Interested in their country, interested in their Islam, interested in their Islamic system. Their plan will not work, but they will pour their own poison, they will do their own thing.

These [deeds] show the inside of our enemies. The enemy who says in diplomatic statements that we do not intend to invade Iran, we do not intend to change the system of the Islamic Republic, we have no enmity with you and we agree with the Iranian nation, this is what you are seeing; Its inner meaning is conspiracy, its inner meaning is to create disturbance, its inner meaning is to destroy the security of the country, its inner meaning is to provoke the excitement of those who may be provoked by an emotion and come to the middle of the street; The inside is this.

They are not only against the Islamic Republic, they are against Iran; America is against a strong Iran, against an independent Iran. All their arguments, all their fights are not about the Islamic Republic; Of course, they are strongly and deeply hostile to the Islamic Republic, there is no doubt about that, but even without the Islamic Republic, they are against a strong Iranian, they are against an independent Iranian. They love Iran during the Pahlavi era: a milking cow and obedient to their orders that the king of the country is forced to ask the British ambassador or the American ambassador to make a decision! How can the Iranian nation bear this shame? They want this; They are against Iran.

Okay; We said that these bullies are the ones behind the scenes. Therefore, the fight is not about the issue of hijab and bad hijab; The fight is not over the death of a young girl; This is not the fight. Many of these people who don't even wear a full hijab are serious supporters of the Islamic Republic of Iran. You see them participating in religious ceremonies and revolutionary ceremonies; This is not the issue. The debate is about the principle of independence and standing and strengthening and authority of Islamic Iran; This is the issue.

I will say one or two points, to finish my thoughts. One point is that these people who commit corruption and destruction in the street do not all have the same verdict. Some of these are young people and teenagers whose excitement caused by the idea that some internet program will drag them to the street; They are emotional, they are emotional, they become emotional, they come. Of course, all of these, in total, are very few people in front of the Iranian nation and in front of the faithful and zealous young people of Islamic Iran; But those who are, some of them are those who are drawn to the street by emotions and excitement; These problems can be solved with a punishment; That is, he guided them and made them understand that they are wrong; But some of these are not like this; Some of these are the remnants of the battered elements of the past forty years: Hypocrites, separatists, the remnants of the infamous Pahlavi regime, the families of the rejected and hated Savakis, the recent statement of the Ministry of Information clarified some of these matters to a large extent; (3) Of course, there are more matters. The judiciary should try them according to the extent of their participation in destroying and harming the safety of the streets and punish them.

Another point is that at the very beginning of the work, some properties, now out of compassion - their hearts burned - they informed, made statements, talked, made statements without investigation - of course, without investigation - some of them accused the law enforcement organization of the country, the police They accused, some of them accused the whole system; Everyone made a move somehow. Well, now the account of this is separate, but after they saw what the issue was, after they understood what was happening in the street and on the public path of the people as a result of their words along with the planning of the enemy, they should have compensated for their own work; They should take a stand, they should clearly declare that they are against what happened, they should understand that they are against the plan of foreign enemies. The essence of the case was revealed. When you see that the American political element compares these issues to the Berlin Wall, you should understand what the purpose is; You have to understand that the issue is not an issue of sympathy for a young girl; You should have understood this; If you don't understand, understand; If you understand, you must declare a position. This is also a point.

Some sports and artistic figures also took positions; In my opinion, it has no importance; You should not be sensitive about this. Our sports community is a healthy community, our artistic community is also a healthy community. Faithful, interested, honorable elements are not few in this sports and artistic community, they are many; Now four people say the same thing; Their words have no value. It is up to the judiciary to determine whether or not criminal charges will apply to their words, but it has no importance and value in terms of public opinion, and our artistic and sports society will not be contaminated with such movements, with these hostile behaviors.

My last message is many salutations to the martyrs of the police, to the martyrs of the armed forces, to the martyrs who defend security, to the recent martyrs and to all the martyrs of the righteous path.
