“The enemy has been attempting to impede the progress of the Islamic Revolution and inflict a blow to the Islamic Republic in recent years by adopting various schemes and machinations,” General Mousavi said in a statement as Iran is marking the 44th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.

“However, the enemy’s plans have fallen apart one after another due to public resistance and the Leader’s astute guidance,” the top commander added.

“The foes have thus planned a vast hybrid war against the Iranian country and the Islamic establishment, based on psychological and media operations,” he added.

General Mousavi also called the Islamic Revolution “a massive worldwide phenomena in the concluding decades of the twentieth century, with far-reaching regional and international impacts.”

He said that the Islamic Revolution is still upholding Iran’s security and preserving its interests while standing up to tyrants and haughty powers.
