WANA (Dec 17) – On Tuesday morning, December 17, groups of women from various backgrounds met with Ayatollah Khamenei at Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah.

 

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that combating the temptations, deceptive tactics, and the enemies’ soft war aimed at undermining values — especially regarding issues related to women — is one of the significant responsibilities Muslims must undertake. He stressed, “The enemy is not idle; it is constantly devising plans.”

 

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated: “The enemies of the Islamic Republic quickly realized they could not defeat the Revolution through hard methods and therefore turned to soft tactics. These include manipulative propaganda, temptations, and dishonest slogans such as so-called advocacy for women, as well as inciting unrest under the pretext of defending certain women or a specific incident in a country.”

Referring to recent developments in Syria and the continued atrocities of the Zionist regime through its daily attacks on Gaza and Lebanon, Ayatollah Khamenei said: “The path of the martyrs of resistance continues. The people of Gaza and Lebanon are standing firm in the face of daily Zionist aggression. The Zionist regime imagines it can surround and eliminate Hezbollah forces through Syria, but the reality is that Israel will be the one uprooted.”

 

The Leader added: “Through developments in Syria, the atrocities committed by the Zionist regime and America, and the support provided by certain parties, they falsely believe that resistance has come to an end. They are gravely mistaken. The spirit of figures like Seyyed Hassan Nasrallah and Yahya Sinwar remains alive. Their martyrdom does not eliminate their presence — their physical forms are gone, but their thoughts and spirit endure, and their path continues.”

Highlighting Gaza’s perseverance against the Zionists’ daily attacks and Lebanon’s ongoing resistance, Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated: “The Zionist regime imagines it can prepare itself via Syria to encircle and eradicate Hezbollah, but the entity that will be eradicated is Israel.”

 

The Leader reaffirmed Iran’s unwavering support for Palestinian fighters and Hezbollah’s resistance, pledging continued assistance wherever possible. He expressed hope that “the fighters will one day witness the defeat of the malicious enemy under their feet.”
