The Leader of the Revolution: My advice is to internationalize the beautiful ancient sport/ Supporting athletes to Palestine is Iran’s national power/ The Zionists were hit technically
According to the report of Arya Heritage, Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, expressed gratitude to the country’s athletes and medalists and stated: The medal is a sign and a sign of your hard work. I would like to thank the lady who carried the flag of this era of Asian sports with a full hijab and showed the identity and personality of Iranian women in front of the world.
He added: I thank the sportswoman who refused to shake hands with an unmarried man during the awarding of the medal. The importance of these margins is not less than the sport itself, but more. The Leader of the Islamic Revolution added: I thank the lady who went on the podium with her baby and received her medal. Ayatollah Khamenei said: This is a symbolic move; This movement in the world means respecting women for the role of family and motherhood.
Hamas, as a militant group, dealt a technical blow to the Zionist regime
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution added: I thank the athletes who added value to their sports. They prostrated on the ground after the victory, raised their hands in prayer in the middle of the sports field, kissed the flag and prostrated.
Ayatollah Khamenei clarified: These are the works that show and record the identity of Iranian Islamic athletes and the identity of the Iranian nation in front of the eyes of hundreds of millions of spectators.
Stating that a strong Iran must have a strong sport, he stated: the strength of sports lies in adopting the right measures in choosing the coach and the composition of national teams in all disciplines and in taking serious care of the occurrence of pests in sports; Everyone should be careful not to cause a disaster in the sports of the country. Pest means economic corruption, formation of sports mafia inside and moral pests for our clean and pure athletes.
Referring to the recent events in Gaza, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized: The Zionist regime was hit technically in the “Aqsa Storm” incident; Hamas, as a militant group, neither as a government nor as a country with many facilities, was able to give a technical blow to the usurping Zionist government with all those facilities.
Bombings will shorten the life of the usurping regime
Ayatollah Khamenei, stating that the Zionists have not been able to remove themselves from the burden of pressure and shame that this defeat has brought upon them, added: Yes, they are showing strength; But where? This show of power has no value in the hospital for the sick in Gaza, in the school in Gaza, on the heads of the homeless people of Gaza. It’s like an athlete losing on the field, then in revenge for that loss, he attacks the fans of the opposing team, insults them, and beats them up.
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: In other words, there is nothing more scandalous than what the Zionist regime has done. The heavy loss of the Zionist regime will not be compensated by these bombings; Such bombings will shorten the life of this usurping regime; This cruelty will not go unanswered.
I thank the athletes who refused to face the Zionist side
Appreciating the athletes who support the oppressed and powerful people of Palestine, he added: I thank the national team that entered the field with a helmet as a sign of defending the oppressed, and the athletes who each took a stand in support of Palestine.
Ayatollah Khamenei added: I thank the athletes who donated their medals to the children of Gaza and to the martyrs of the hospital that was the site of the disaster created by the Zionist regime. I thank the athletes who refused to face the Zionist side.
They said: Today it will be known what the right thing they did; The truth of these is more evident today than ever. These works show the prominent, logical and self-confident face of the Iranian nation in front of the eyes of hundreds of millions of people watching sports. introduces the nation of Iran; This is part of Iran’s national power.
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution said: Today, the whole world understood why the Iranian athlete is not satisfied to face the Zionist side in the field. Because he is a criminal and he is exercising for a criminal government and coming to the field; Helping him is helping the terrorist and criminal regime.
International sports authorities politicize sports in the worst way
Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the dual approach of international institutions to various incidents and emphasized: We have a lot to say with the international sports authorities and we have many objections to them. One day, these objections should be dealt with fairly; Today, colonialist, exploitative and arrogant powers stand behind almost all international centers and prevent a fair review, but one day, God willing, you will get a fair review of these things.
He added: They say sports are not political, but when they need to politicize sports, they politicize sports in the worst way. For one reason, a country is banned from participating in all international sports events. Why? You fought so and so; But they ignore the 5,000 martyred children in Gaza, shouldn’t sports become political?
The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized: a country is excluded from the world championships under the pretext of war, and a country and a government are completely ignored; Not because of the war, because of the war crimes, because of the genocide, they don’t even deny it from entering the international arena.
The Supreme Leader of the Revolution addressed to the youth athletes of ancient Kar: To be honest, you were better than our era
On the sidelines of the sportsmen’s meeting with the leader of the revolution, a number of young athletes who performed ancient sports for a few minutes in Imam Khomeini’s Hosseiniyeh (RA) took a souvenir picture with His Holiness. The leader of the revolution appreciated these teenagers and said: Today, the sport that these children did here was honestly better than the forced sport that we saw in our youth. Their turns were better, their desire was better, their swimming was better, their footwork was better, everything was better.
