Ayatollah Khamenei’s resistance discourse gave Iran supremacy: Ex-IRGC chief
A former chief commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) says Iran has attained the position of global supremacy through the resistance discourse preached by the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei.
In remarks published on Wednesday, Major General Mohsen Rezaei said that Ayatollah Khamenei had a vision of resistance that was both pragmatic and ideological, which gave Iran a strategic perspective on how to move forward and maintain its position as an independent country in a turbulent world.
“In an era when many countries are retreating in the face of pressure from great powers, he relied on faith, the people, and national capacities and presented to the world a model of active resistance,” said Rezaei in an interview.
He said that the notion of resistance in Ayatollah Khamenei’s discourse was not merely a political slogan, but rather a strategy for preserving the independence, dignity, and identity of the Iranian nation.
The former IRGC commander described Ayatollah Khamenei as a “strategic commander” and a “comprehensive thinker” who had a profound understanding of his day and age and who will go down in history as a man who made the Islamic Republic an influential power in the region and the world.
“Future generations will undoubtedly see… how in one of the most turbulent periods of contemporary history, a wise, courageous, perceptive, and forward-looking leader kept the banner of the Revolution aloft and led the Iranian nation through difficult passes," he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei was martyred in a joint US-Israeli airstrike on his office in Tehran on February 28.
The late Leader was laid to rest in the holy shrine of Imam Reza in his hometown of Mashhad on July 9 after a week of mass funerals held in Iran and Iraq.
