Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Sayyed Mojtaba Hosseini Khamenei said on Thursday that the Israeli regime’s defeat and deep humiliation in recent military confrontations have contributed to its growing international isolation.
The Leader said the Israeli regime and its supporters, following setbacks in military confrontations, have turned to efforts aimed at weakening public resilience and influencing the calculations of Iranian officials. He warned that their primary tools include spreading doubt, fear, despair, mistrust, and division within society.
The remarks were part of a message read by Hojatoleslam Mohammad Javad Haj Ali Akbari during a ceremony at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum in Tehran marking Eid Al-Ghadir, the 37th anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s passing, and the anniversary of the beginning of the late Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei’s leadership, according to IRNA news agency.

Ayatollah Sayyed Khamenei called on the Iranian people to confront these efforts through unity, vigilance, mutual trust, and national solidarity, stressing that officials also bear a significant responsibility in strengthening public confidence and preventing actions that could lead to disappointment or social discontent.
According to the Leader, the Iranian nation, alongside the Axis of Resistance, has become a source of pride for freedom-seeking nations around the world.
“The enemy sought to undermine Iranian nation’s resilience and to sow discord among Iranian people,” the Leader said, adding: “We managed to foil enemy’s plots.”
The malicious enemy has been defeated in its confrontation with the Armed Forces. Since it has received a decisive blow both in military combat and in [Iran's] public squares and streets, it’s experiencing a profound, significant humiliation.

In this context, his eminence warned that any spread of negative narrative among the public is considered support for the aggression.
Referring to recent developments, the Leader said the Iranian nation had once again demonstrated its determination and commitment following the martyrdom of late Leader Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei. He said millions of Iranians are steadfast in defending the Islamic establishment, honoring the memory of the martyrs, and pursuing the ideals of the Revolution.
He called on the public and officials alike to preserve unity, vigilance, mutual trust, and national cohesion, stressing that any action leading to public disenchantment would ultimately serve the interests of Iran’s enemies.
“After failing to confront our forces in the battlefield and suffering heavy losses, the enemy is now shifting to hybrid warfare,” Ayatollah Sayyed Khamenei said, adding: “Foiling enemies’ plots depends on resilience, foresight, and strengthening national unity.”
The enemy has focused its schemes in hybrid warfare on 2 points: the resilience of the Iranian people & trying to create errors in the assessments of the country's officials. The instrument it’s using for both is sowing the seeds of doubt, despair, fear, mistrust, & discord.

The Leader concluded by urging young people, intellectuals and cultural figures to help promote the principles of Imam Khomeini and the Islamic Revolution while contributing to Iran’s future development and progress.
