‘Humiliated’ enemy shifting to hybrid war after military defeat: Ayatollah Khamenei
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei says Iran’s adversaries have turned to “hybrid warfare” tactics after suffering a humiliated defeat in the face of the country’s Armed Forces, urging national unity and vigilance to neutralize enemies’ plots.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a message on Thursday on the occasion of the 37th passing anniversary of the late founder of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Imam Khomein.
Millions of Iranians from various social strata and as many devotees in other countries took part in the ceremonies held at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum in southern Tehran as the mourners paid homage to the architect of the Islamic Revolution and renewed allegiance to the ideals of the 1979 Revolution.
The Leader said the “evil” enemy has experienced defeat and a profound humiliation in its confrontation with the country's Armed Forces and now seeks to compensate through a hybrid war strategy.
"The malicious enemy, having been defeated in its confrontation with your brave sons in the Armed Forces and having experienced a profound and meaningful humiliation both on the battlefield and in the public arena, has concentrated its efforts on two objectives in the framework of hybrid warfare: weakening the people's resilience and creating miscalculations among the country's officials," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
This was when the message from the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, was read out during the ceremony marking the anniversary of the first Leader of the Islamic Republic's passing.

"The system of domination that created a military outpost, called Israel, nearly 80 years ago cannot accept the existence of a strong and independent Iran, endowed with numerous advantages and capabilities, on the eastern border of the false and fictitious geography of Greater Israel, that is the east of the Euphrates, so it spares no effort to prevent its (Iran’s) progress," Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized.
The Leader warned that the enemy seeks to create doubt, frustration, fear, mistrust, and discord, stressing that all Iranians must foil such sinister plots through steadfastness and insight by preserving unity, cohesion, and mutual trust, and refusal to echo their voice.
He stressed the “very important” role of Iranian authorities in supporting these matters, saying, “Any act that causes pessimism and disappointment among the people is considered a kind of aid to the enemy of this country and its people.”
