IRGC issues statement on anniv. of Islamic Revolution, calls for unity

Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) on Wednesday issued a statement on the 44th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, calling for unity as a way to defeat enemy’s strategy to create discord and division, and spread lies and rumors.

The statement praised the Islamic Republic for continuing to play a role in the world’s power equations after 44 years, despite “plots and evil attempts by the global Zionism network, as well as arrogant and terrorist US”.

The IRGC statement said that the Islamic Revolution and system had left behind crises thanks to unity, resistance and vigilance of the Iranian people, as well as the leadership of Imam Khomeini and Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.

It said that the Islamic Republic has survived and managed to achieve great achievements in different arenas, including political, security, defense, military, cultural and economic fields, despite “internal and outside challenges resulted from seditions and crises caused by global arrogance.”

The statement called on the Iranian people to have a huge turnout in the Bahman 22 rallies which are set to take place across Iran on February 11 to mark the victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

The statement described the rallies as an opportunity to show the Iranians’ allegiance to the great ideals of the revolution and once again give a response to enemies and prove that they are still making miscalculations regarding Iran.
