Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has declared that all strategic maneuvers and intervention plans by foreign circles aimed at returning the country to its pre-Islamic Revolution state have completely failed.
According to Iranian media reports, the Supreme Leader expressed this position during a televised address to the nation marking the 47th anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution. "Foreign forces have made continuous attempts with the illusion of restoring the pre-revolutionary order in Iran, but they have failed to achieve these insidious intentions," Khamenei emphasized. He also highlighted the mass marches held annually on February 11, describing them as a "phenomenon unparalleled worldwide" and a "clear example of national resistance."
The 1979 Islamic Revolution remains a defining moment in modern history, leading to the replacement of the monarchy with an Islamic republic. These annual commemorations in Iran are typically used by the leadership to consolidate domestic support and signal defiance against international sanctions and diplomatic pressure. The events often involve large-scale public demonstrations in Tehran and other major cities, reflecting the state's official narrative on sovereignty and independence from Western influence.
