Afghan Voice Agency (AVA) – Mashhad: Mohammad Taqi Tavakoli, an expert on religious and religious issues, said in an interview with an AVA reporter in Mashhad: “The movement of the Iranian people on November 4 was not just a political protest, but rather a turning point in the history of the struggle of nations against the hegemonic power of the world powers. The Iranian nation, under the leadership of Imam Khomeini (RA), proved that true independence can only be achieved when nations are freed from intellectual, cultural, and economic dependence on global arrogance.”
He added: “One of the distinctive features of the Iranian nation in this struggle is its reliance on religious faith and Quranic teachings. The Holy Quran clearly commands that believers should not submit to the domination of infidels. This Quranic principle became the main pillar of the Islamic Revolution discourse and the basis of the Iranian nation’s anti-arrogance.”
Tavakoli emphasized: “The Iranian nation has shown during these four decades that it can withstand the most severe economic and political pressures. The experience of the Islamic Revolution has proven that if a nation wants to remain independent, it must pay the price of resistance; because the cost of compromising with arrogance is humiliation and the destruction of national and religious identity.”
Abdullah Ziaei, an expert on religious issues, also stated in an interview with Ava: “Today, anti-arrogance is no longer a purely Iranian concept, but has become a global model. The nations of the region, especially in Palestine, Lebanon, Yemen, and Syria, are inspired by the Islamic Revolution of Iran, standing up to the hegemony of the United States and its allies. This phenomenon reflects the globalization of the spirit of resistance.”
He continued: “Over the past decades, America has tried to subjugate nations using the tools of the media, economy, and politics; but the awakening of nations and the growth of public awareness have caused the true face of arrogance to be revealed to the people of the world. Today, many nations have realized that the slogan of Western freedom and human rights is actually a cover for domination and plunder.”
Ziaei added: “In today’s world, arrogance is collapsing from within. "Nations that have attained self-confidence are no longer willing to bow to force and humiliation. The spread of the wave of resistance and Islamic awakening is a direct result of the experience that the Iranian nation taught the world on November 4: that it is possible to stand up to great powers and win."
