The positions of the Iranian guide, Ali Khamenei, on the anniversary of the departure of his predecessor, Ayatollah Khomeini, are commensurate with the latter's view of the American policies, while Iranian circles saw that the younger generation departed a lot from the goals that their parents revolted for.
Khamenei attacked the United States on the morning of the 31st anniversary of the death of the founder of the Iranian revolution, Khomeini, and said that America is living in shaky conditions and that it is killing its people these days without apologizing for the crimes it commits.
Iran canceled this year the anniversary of the founder of its Islamic revolution due to the Corona pandemic, which has so far killed more than eight thousand Iranians, while the total number of injuries reached 160,670 people.
He said in a televised speech by the way that the demands of the protesters in the United States are the demands of all the peoples that endured American arrogance, and that the recent developments revealed the truth of the American policies.
Khamenei considered that the actions of the American police towards the American citizen of African descent George Floyd and his murder are not new, but rather embodies the nature of its system towards other peoples, especially in Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan and Vietnam.
The Iranian leader said that the policies of the American administration exposed the orientation of its leaders, stressing that the saying of the young Floyd "Let me breathe" is the demand of all peoples who face American hostility and injustice around the world.
Observers in Iran see that the positions of Khamenei 31 years after he came to power this morning came fully in line with his negative vision towards American policies, and with the view of his predecessor Khomeini towards the global arrogance front.
Continuous development.
The academic and political researcher Emad Abasnas considered that there is no comparison between the Islamic revolution at the present time and what it was four decades ago, stressing that the armament development in his country these days is a deterrent factor and contributes to peace in the whole region.
In his speech to Al-Jazeera Net, he pointed to the achievements made by his country at various levels, including medical science and nuclear, military and space technologies, explaining that Tehran has achieved scientific leaps in accordance with the vision of the founder of the Islamic revolution, challenging the fiercest sanctions that humanity has witnessed so far, as he put it.
He refused that the US sanctions against Iran were due to the latter's going into some prohibited sciences such as the nuclear or missile program, and he said that the US sanctions began about three decades before the victory of the Islamic revolution when the government of Muhammad Mossadegh nationalized the oil industry.
He believed that the main reason for what he called the American hostility to his country is the United States' intentions to dominate the region, which Tehran has long rejected for more than 40 years, realizing that America's sanctions are not limited to Iran, but include even Washington's allies such as Turkey and others.
He concluded that the Iranian revolution is moving in the right direction by adopting the right Islamic issues, and rejecting external domination of its capabilities.
Success and failure
On the other hand, the director of the Institute of International Relations, Majeed Zouari, believes that there is a big rift between the Islamic Republic that Khomeini preached and the reality in his country at the present time, warning that Tehran does not absorb internal conditions that may eradicate all the achievements it has achieved at the level Outer.
He added in an interview with Al-Jazeera Net that Tehran's foreign policies have reached very sophisticated levels, especially in the face of external threats and expansion through resistance movements, starting from Kashmir to the Middle East and reaching North Africa, noting that his country is still facing major problems in implementing social justice and distributing national wealth. .
Zouari pointed out that his country's foreign policy seems more mature in recent years, regionally and internationally, explaining that Tehran has begun to take the lead in securing its major interests, and this is what distinguishes it from the first years of the victory of its revolution.
He affirmed that his country has become a force that responds to the conflict, not to those who directly threaten its interests, but rather stands clear to its allies, which makes allies of Tehran confident in its sincerity, realizing that the younger generation in Iran today has moved away from the goals of the Islamic revolution.
He concluded by saying that despite the proliferation of political parties in Iran, the low rate of popular participation in the recent parliamentary elections indicates that the political currents did not succeed in meeting the concerns of the general public, which led to the growing feelings of frustration among the general public from the political class.
A revolution against hegemony
and on social media platforms, the political researcher, former director of the Arab Center for Iranian Studies, Muhammad Salih Sedqian, tweeted that Khomeini led a revolution against tyranny and hegemony, and that he "transformed an obedient and obedient people into a people demanding their rights at home, in the region and in the world."
He stressed that the founder of the Iranian revolution "alerted the nation to its ability to change, progress and prosperity," stressing that it created a state of civilization awareness of his nation about the past, present and future.
