Supreme Leader: November 4 Must Be Preserved in National Memory — Iran-U.S. Conflict Is Fundamental

The Leader emphasized that the conflict between Iran and the United States is not tactical or circumstantial, but fundamental and rooted in opposing values and interests.
The Leader stated that unless the U.S. fully ends its support for the Zionist regime, removes its military bases from the region, and ceases interference, any future cooperation with Iran would remain out of reach.
Key Highlights:
1-Historical Context: The Leader traced U.S. hostility back to the 1953 coup against Prime Minister Mosaddegh, calling it the beginning of American enmity toward Iran—not the embassy takeover in 1979. 2- Nature of Arrogance: He defined “arrogance” as a form of self-superiority that leads to exploitation and domination, citing the U.S. and Britain as examples. 3- Embassy Takeover: Students initially intended a symbolic protest, but discovered documents revealing the embassy’s role in organizing counter-revolutionary plots, prompting them to occupy it. 4- National Strength: The Leader stressed that the solution to many problems lies in becoming stronger—scientifically, militarily, managerially, and spiritually. 5- Youth Empowerment: The Leader urged young people to deepen their understanding of history and politics, strengthen their faith, and maintain spiritual connection to God. 6- U.S. Hypocrisy: Ayatollah Khamenei criticized American officials who claim to seek cooperation while continuing to support the Zionist regime, calling such offers meaningless and unacceptable.
Ayatollah Khamenei concluded by encouraging students to emulate the virtues of revered Islamic figures like Lady Fatima and Lady Zaynab, and to uphold values such as prayer, modesty, and daily engagement with the Qur’an.
