Iranian People’s Turnout Removed Specter of War: Leader

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Iranian people have removed the specter of war, dismissing claims that the situation was the work of a specific administration.

“Sometimes we hear and have heard in the past that certain individuals say, ‘when we came along and assumed responsibility, we managed to take away the shadow of war over the country,’” the Leader told a group of workers in Tehran Sunday.

“No. These statements are not right. It is the presence of the people that has removed the shadow of war, and not the authorities,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

“When you see that the impertinent and bull-necked enemies are refraining from taking any harsh action against the Islamic Republic, it is because of the presence of the people. They fear the people. They are literally afraid,” the Leader added.

Ayatollah Khamenei’s remarks came ahead of the presidential election in Iran on May 19 which is expected to be a close race.

The Leader said, “The beloved Iranian people should know that their presence in various arenas is determining. It is determining for national security; if the people come to the scene, the country will remain secure.”

“When the people are present at the scene, the enemy which seeks to confront the establishment has to beat retreat and forgo an encroachment,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

“When a gap is created between the nation and the establishment and the nation is not present at the scene, they (the enemies) can do whatever they want,” the Leader added.
