The Leader's Television Message on the Eve of International Quds Day

In the Name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Quds Day march is always a symbol of the unity of the Iranian nation and the power of the Iranian nation; it also signifies that the Iranian nation is steadfast and resilient regarding its important, political, and fundamental goals. It is not the case that they chant slogans in support of Palestine and then abandon them after a year or two. For over forty years, the Iranian nation has participated in the Quds Day march, in cold weather, in hot weather, while fasting, throughout the country, not just in cities; in large cities, small towns, and villages. Therefore, the Quds Day march is one of the honors of the Iranian nation.

This year, in my opinion, this march holds even greater significance. The nations of the world support us; those who know us are supporters of the Iranian nation, but some policies and governments that oppose us propagate against the Iranian nation: they pretend there are divisions; they pretend there is weakness. Your march on Quds Day will nullify all these tricks and false statements.

I hope, God willing, that God assists you and that the Quds Day march will be one of the best, most magnificent, and most honorable marches of these past few years.

Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings
