Ismail Shabanov, the Russian president’s adviser on ethnic affairs, said: Imam Khomeini (ra) led Iran in the divine path and just struggle against oppression and this path was accepted by the whole world.
In an interview with IRNA in Moscow on the occasion of the 32nd anniversary of Imam Khomeini’s demise, Shabanov said that the Islamic Revolution in Iran has become a turning point in history, adding: Due to the personality of Imam Khomeini (RA) and now with the wise leadership of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, no force in the world can hinder Iran’s progress towards justice and peace.
The Russian official stated: “Iran has always played a key role in the region. In ancient history, the oldest experience of wars and diplomacy is reflected in the genetics of the Iranian people. From Islamic sources, we are familiar with the narrations of the Holy Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and the Imams (AS) that Iran will be the center of Islamic sciences.
“Iran is the best Islamic country,” Shabanov said, noting that Iran is currently at its highest historical position. Throughout history, no Muslim country has been able to replicate the Iranian experience. Great trials await this country; Iranians have come out of many trials with dignity. The experience of Iranians must be significant. After the revolution, Iran became a global actor and in the cultural dimension became the bearer of the idea of ​​global resistance.
“Unfortunately, sometimes there are misunderstandings among the people and the enemy has tried many times to infiltrate the Iranian society and Muslims,” ​​he said: But every time a new plan was prepared against the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, the supreme leader of the Muslims, a disciple and disciple of Imam Khomeini, thwarted their plans with a speech.
Adviser to the President of Russia stated: Today, Iran is faced with a decisive choice. The people of Iran once again confirm their choice by supporting those who continue the holy path of Imam Khomeini.
