Leader Honors Heroes: A Commemorative Ceremony for the Martyrs of Service

Iran’s Leader Declares Independence: No Permission Needed for Uranium Enrichment

In a recent address, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, firmly stated that Iran does not require approval from any external party to enrich uranium. This assertion highlights the ongoing tensions between Iran and U.S. officials, who have made unfounded claims regarding Iran’s nuclear ambitions.

The Leader emphasized the following key points during his speech:

  • No Permission Needed: Ayatollah Khamenei asserted that Iran pursues its own policies without waiting for permission from the U.S. or any other nation.
  • U.S. Mistake: He described the U.S. representatives’ claims about restricting Iran’s uranium enrichment as a significant error.
  • Public Awareness: Khamenei mentioned that he plans to inform the public about the reasons behind the insistence on preventing uranium enrichment in Iran.

During a ceremony honoring the Martyrs of Service, including the late President Ebrahim Raisi, who tragically lost his life in a helicopter crash, Khamenei reiterated that Iran does not engage in direct negotiations with the U.S. He noted that while indirect discussions had occurred, they yielded no fruitful results.

On the topic of President Raisi, Khamenei reflected on his character, stating:

  • Humble Leadership: Raisi viewed himself as one with the people rather than a superior leader.
  • Diligent Service: He was described as a humble and devout individual, dedicated to his efforts for the nation.

Khamenei also praised the Islamic Revolution’s ability to mobilize and inspire young generations, emphasizing that it has proven to be unstoppable over the years. He highlighted Raisi’s contributions, which included:

  • Water supply projects
  • Road construction
  • Job creation
  • Completion of unfinished initiatives

According to Khamenei, Iran’s economic growth surged from nearly zero at the start of Raisi’s administration to approximately five percent by its conclusion, indicating significant progress for the country. He commended Raisi’s impactful gesture of holding the holy Quran and a portrait of Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani during the United Nations General Assembly, describing it as a moment of great importance for the Iranian nation.

Finally, Ayatollah Khamenei noted that Raisi exemplified divine sovereignty in leadership while avoiding tyranny. He took a decisive stance to ensure that adversaries could not claim that Iran was coerced into negotiations through threats or deception. Khamenei contrasted Raisi’s sincerity with the contradictory rhetoric of certain Western officials, who advocate for peace and human rights while ignoring the suffering of innocent children in Gaza.
