Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Saturday that enemies have left no stone unturned over the past decades to destroy Iran’s 1979 Islamic Revolution.

In a meeting with a group of people from the holy city of Qom, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Islamic Republic faces a vast enemy front comprised of the US, the Israeli regime and the Takfiri elements, including the ISIL terror group.

“Enemies have focused all their attempts on uprooting the flourishing tree of the Islamic Revolution,” said Ayatollah Khamenei, stressing that the country should make all efforts to foil such plots.

Imam Khamenei stressed the importance of Iranians participating in the upcoming elections, saying: “Everyone should participate in the elections; even those who do not accept the ruling system should participate for the sake of the country's standing.”

The Leader said that contrary to French and Russian revolutions which derailed and collapsed, Iran’s Islamic Revolution has managed to live up to its principles.

“Iran’s Islamic Revolution is the only revolution that has managed to maintain its existence based on basic principles and ideals,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
