The president emphasized that February 11th is a message of hope for the Iranian people and all the oppressed of the world, and it is "a day of God," noting that “what the Islamic Revolution is echoing is ‘freedom, morality, rationality and justice’ and these slogans are still alive."
He added that the victory of the revolution "that the victory of the Islamic Revolution was a bombshell of light".
The Iranian president expressed his hope to achieve economic as well as political independence, stressing that his country will take colossal and giant steps in the field of economic independence.
Raisi stressed that the country's development depends on national unity, and "we are working to overcome the social obstacles that the Iranian people are suffering from."
Raisi considered that "the Islamic Revolution has its roots in people’s support because grassroots are those who formed it and they continue nurturing its path", adding that the Islamic Revolution cannot accept corruption and oppression and that the revolution has witnessed several phases and overcome different conspiracies by the enemies.
