Tehran, SAEDNEWS, Feb. 10: As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has said no one in the Islamic Republic listens to the worthless remarks by the western officials, specially the Americans, the ralliers said in the resolution.
"The definite policy of the Islamic Republic is lifting of all sanctions and we will return to our nuclear deal undertakings after we thoroughly and precisely verify the other parties' implementation of all their undertakings, not in words and on the paper but in practice," it added.
The ralliers also reiterated allegiance to the Islamic Republic, the Leader, martyred Commander of the IRGC Qods Force Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and martyred nuclear scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh.
They underlined continued efforts to resist against the economic pressures exerted by the enemies, specially the US, against the Iranian nation.
The resolution also lauded the Iranian medical staff for their sacrifices and efforts in campaign against coronavirus, and stressed support for the country's scientists in developing and producing home-made COVID-19 vaccines.
The annual nationwide rallies marking the 42nd anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution were staged by processions of cars, motorcycles and bicycles in the capital city of Tehran and other cities across the country on Wednesday morning.
Millions of Iranians from all walks of life were out in their cars or on motorcycles and bicycles in the streets and squares all over the country to express their support for the cause, aspirations and ideals of the Islamic Revolution.
It's the first year Iranians stage drive-in rallies as the country is battling coronavirus outbreak.
In Tehran, thousands of cars, motorcycles and bicycles converged at Azadi Square, the capital's main square and the site of major national rallies over the past four decades.
In addition to the annual theme of renewing support for the revolution and Islamic establishment, this year rallies are important since ralliers intended to display former US President Donald Trump who vowed he would bring the Iranian nation to its knees is gone now and the Iranian people are standing strong.
This year ralliers shouted protest at the US and its allies for their cruel sanctions imposed against the country, voicing pleasure for Trump's failure in the maximum pressure policy against Iran.
The demonstrators carried placards reading "Death to America", "Death to Israel", "Death to Britain", and a number of other slogans in support of the Supreme Leader, and the Islamic establishment.
Yet, more striking than anything else were banners and posters of General Soleimani who was assassinated by the US in January 2020. The ralliers vowed to take a "harsh revenge" for his martyrdom.
Ayatollah Khamenei said on Sunday that his country will not take steps to return to its nuclear deal undertakings unless it will be able to verify the US practical measures in removing the sanctions against Tehran.
"Iran has fulfilled all its obligations under the 2015 nuclear deal, not the US and the three European countries ... If they want Iran to return to its commitments, the US must lift all sanctions first," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing the Iranian Army Air Force commanders and staff on the anniversary of the historical pledging allegiance of Air Force commanders with late Imam Khomeini on February 8, 1979.
He underlined that the side with the right to set conditions to return to the JCPOA undertakings is Iran since it abided by all its commitments, not the US or the 3 European countries which breached theirs, adding, “If they want Iran to return, the US should lift all sanctions. We'll verify and if it's done properly, we’ll return to our undertakings."
“This is the definite policy of the Islamic Republic and it is also agreed upon by the officials of the country and we will not return from this policy,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, stressing that no one in Iran listens to what the US and European officials say about preconditions for lifting sanctions.
He also underlined the US miscalculation in understanding the Iranian nation during the 1979 Revolution, and said, "Therefore, they failed. During the 2009 sedition, the Democrat president backed the sedition. Trump failed in his Maximum pressure policy too. They're still miscalculating."
"One of the first-rate fools in the Trump administration had said they would celebrate New Year 2019 in Tehran. He was thrown into history’s trash bin. His boss was also kicked into history’s trash can, while the Islamic Republic is standing strong," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"One should know the US properly. Their recent incidents were a fiasco. Trump’s fall wasn't just the fall of an unfit president. It was the decline of the US power and social order. Speaking of US’s decline from within and the start of a post-US era are the words of some US experts, not ours," he added.
"The US is truly declining, and this has distressed and stunned some of their allies in the region. The Zionist officials’ nonsense (words) stems from their fear of the US domestic situation and they've realized this well. The world is watching US power decline internally and internationally," the Iranian Leader stressed.
"Some regimes' biggest mistake is that they want the US to bring them national security. They spend billions of dollars, are humiliated and in the end the US doesn't give them security when needed. Examples are what happened to US allies in Egypt, Tunisia, and Pahlavi in Iran," he said.
Iranian officials have several times underlined the need for Washington to lift all sanctions against the country before Tehran’s steps to reverse its modified nuclear deal undertakings (Source: Fars Nerws).
