The United States and the Israeli occupation will bear the consequences of their atrocities, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Sayyed Ali Khamenei warned during his speech on Saturday. 

Speaking on National Day of the Fight against Global Arrogance, which commemorates the anniversary of the US embassy takeover by Iranian students on November 4, 1979, Sayyed Khamenei warned of the crushing response Iran would deliver in retaliation to the crimes carried out against the Islamic Republic and the Resistance. 

Sayyed Khamenei stressed that Iran's operations were not "revenge", but rather "a logical action, an approach aligned with religion, ethics, and Islamic Law, in accordance with international regulations," confirming that Iranian officials are constantly developing their political and military readiness to confront any hostility. 

He further assured his audience that Iran will not leave any aggression unanswered. 

"For the Iranian nation, inspired by Islamic teachings, standing up against oppression is a duty. Confronting arrogance is a duty. Arrogance means comprehensive economic, military, and cultural domination and the humiliation of nations," he emphasized. 

Recalling Iran's struggle and the challenges its people encountered at the hands of the global hegemony, he affirmed that the nation will move forward on its path of combatting, countering, and confronting global arrogance.

"The continuation of the Iranian nation’s path in confronting arrogance requires knowledge, thought, technology, and a roadmap,” Sayyed Khamenei said.

The US' decades-long hostility toward Iran 

Sayyed Khamenei also addressed the long-standing animosity of the US towards Iran, asserting, “the effort of historians who distort facts is to claim that the conflict between Iran and the United States began on November 4, 1979. This is a lie," adding that the US opposed the Iranian nation from the very onset of the Revolution, even years before, taking actions against Iran.

He noted that US involvement in Iran was significant even before the coup on August 19, 1953, when the CIA overthrew the democratically elected government led by Dr. Mohammad Mosaddeq.

“However, the clearest evidence was on August 19. A national, popular government was in power in Iran, but the Americans entered the field, betraying the trust of a government that had naively trusted them," he noted, adding that the Shah's [more authoritarian] rule was imposed shortly after, confirming that Iran endured direct hostility from the US for years.

Sayyed Khamenei stated that the US orchestrated the coup, established SAVAK in the 1950s, and created a torture center targeting activists and freedom-seekers. Many young individuals and devoted citizens were killed, tortured, or mutilated by SAVAK agents.

SAVAK was founded in 1957 with the help of the CIA and "Israel's" Mossad, gaining extensive powers to employ torture against dissenters of the West-backed Pahlavi regime.

Iran's response to 'Israel' will surpass expectations

Iran has pledged to respond to the Israeli aggression against its sovereignty, which targeted several Iranian military sites and killed four Iranian soldiers.

The commander of Iran's Islamic Revolution Guard Corps, Major General Hossein Salami, threatened "Israel" with a response that "will surpass all expectations," asserting that the Israelis have repeated their mistake.

"Israel" believes it can change the balance of power in the region by launching a few missiles, Salami said during a speech at the Martyrs of Fars Province Conference.

"You have once again proven that you do not understand the Iranian people, and your calculations are completely wrong," the IRGC commander stressed, addressing the Israeli occupation regime.

He reminded "Israel" of the failure of its air defense systems during Iran's Operation True Promise II, adding, "You rely on a few missiles and fighter jets, yet they will not prevent your downfall."

"You will inevitably fall," Salami underlined.
