We’ve said Resistance is alive and will stay alive, Gaza has won

Throughout the meeting, Imam Khamenei characterized the ceasefire and victory in Gaza as a compelling confirmation of his prediction that the Resistance is enduring and alive. In this context, he observed that the events that are currently unfolding are reminiscent of a fable. "The oppressive and bloodthirsty Zionist is supplied with bunker-busting bombs by a massive military force such as the United States, which is indifferent to humanitarian values. The Zionist then ruthlessly and mercilessly bombs 15,000 children in their homes and hospitals, but it fails to achieve its objectives."

Imam Khamenei underscored that the Zionist regime would have been defeated within the initial weeks of its Gaza offensive if it had not received American assistance. "The Zionist regime perpetrated every crime possible for more than a year." In a limited area such as Gaza, it conducted bombings of residences, hospitals, mosques, and churches. He also stated that it was compelled to sit at the negotiation table with Hamas and accept its terms for a ceasefire, despite the fact that it ultimately failed to achieve its goal set by its wretched, disgraced leader, which was the destruction of Hamas and the governance of Gaza without the Resistance.

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution cited the vitality and victory of the Resistance in Gaza as an illustration of the actualization of the divine tradition of victory through resistance. "Victory is assured whenever the good servants of God demonstrate resistance," he declared. 

Imam Khamenei emphasized that the future will disclose who is truly feeble, dismissing the delusional claims that Iran has been weakened. "Just as Saddam Hussein, under the illusion of Iran's weakness, launched an invasion against the country, and Reagan, with the same delusional belief, provided him with significant support, they and countless other deluded individuals all met their demise, while the Islamic Republic has grown stronger everyday." This experience will be repeated by the grace of God.

Other portions of Imam Khamenei's speech underscored the significance of participating in organizations like BRICS. He emphasized the importance of the country's diplomats making a concerted effort to capitalize on this exceptional opportunity, stating, "The BRICS financial system is a significant capacity that facilitates financial exchanges using the currencies of member states."

The Islamic Revolution's leader emphasized the necessity of abolishing the dollar from trade exchanges to the greatest extent feasible. "This endeavor, which the honorable president is also pursuing, is a very decisive and critical move in the economic battle and is significant and important," he stated. "The Central Bank must facilitate the use of alternative currencies." Certainly, this action will elicit specific responses; however, it will fortify the nation's position.

He stated that the "Pioneers of Progress" exhibition, which exhibited the private sector's capabilities and accomplishments, only represents a minor portion of the country's realities, in reference to his visit on Tuesday.
Nevertheless, Imam Khamenei continued, "it demonstrates that the private sector has made reasonable progress and that the country's progress is forward, despite the pressures, sanctions, and threats." It is imperative that we recognize the immense divine favor that has been bestowed

The Leader also characterized the reports from economic figures as a source of vitality and progress, particularly in light of the adversaries' efforts to cultivate an atmosphere of despair and hopelessness. He expressed his regret that young people, university students, and other segments of society are unaware of the accomplishments and positive news that have been reported, as a result of the media's deficiencies. In this regard, it is imperative that the appropriate authorities devise and implement a substantial media initiative.

In recent years, the Leader of the Revolution has had five meetings with economic figures, as he stated, "In 2019, at the height of sanctions and intensified threats, I called producers and entrepreneurs the commanders on the front line of the economic war and called for production growth." He continued to assert that the private sector's growth and innovation were illustrated by the subsequent meetings in subsequent years. "This year, it was also apparent that active economic figures, who possess field experience, are attempting to increase investment and expand production," he stated. According to Imam Khamenei, the "Pioneers of Progress" exhibition is both beneficial and essential for the chiefs of the three branches of government and other officials. He stated, "Martyr Raisi was extremely pleased and optimistic after visiting the exhibition last year."

13 private-sector producers and economic figures presented their proposals, challenges, and progress at the outset of this meeting.
