1
00:00:05,080 --> 00:00:07,650
In the Name of God, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful

2
00:00:08,370 --> 00:00:11,340
و الحمدلله ربّ العالمين

3
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:17,400
و الصّلاة و السّلام علي سيّدنا محمّد و آله الطّاهرين

4
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:31,140
You are very welcome my dear ones,

5
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:38,820
dear brethren, dear sisters, [and] esteemed families.

6
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:50,940
[I see your] resolute faces, which are sign of determination and resolve and faith,

7
00:00:54,420 --> 00:00:59,480
which these are all great national riches;

8
00:01:01,820 --> 00:01:10,000
both these faithful human beings, and [their] motivations and strong hearts.

9
00:01:13,420 --> 00:01:18,650
No wealth in any country

10
00:01:20,020 --> 00:01:29,680
can be imagined [to be as valuable] as the huge wealth of qualified and efficient manpower.

11
00:01:32,770 --> 00:01:48,400
These days are important days, [because] they are both anniversary of the amazing Event of Mubahala (invoking the curse of Allah upon the liar),

12
00:01:48,740 --> 00:01:57,080
and the descent of the [Quranic] chapter of Hal-Ataa, and [mourning] days of [the lunar month of] Muharram are also drawing close,

13
00:01:59,940 --> 00:02:11,880
while from the viewpoint of the situation in the region and sensitivity of incidents that are taking place in the region,

14
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:18,620
[these] are [also] important days, [and] an important juncture [of history].

15
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:31,200
As for the IRGC [Islamic Revolution Guards Corps] Navy, what is important

16
00:02:31,450 --> 00:02:38,480
is the presence of the children of revolution and revolutionary forces at sea;

17
00:02:41,250 --> 00:02:45,740
this is a very essential and important point.

18
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:57,310
Security is infrastructure for all advances of a nation.

19
00:02:57,910 --> 00:03:02,970
If there is no security, there would be no economy, no culture,

20
00:03:04,020 --> 00:03:10,450
no personal happiness, and no public happiness for people in the society.

21
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:21,400
Due to [certain] reasons, maritime security is more important for countries that have sea coasts,

22
00:03:21,910 --> 00:03:28,020
because sea is a general international means of communications.

23
00:03:29,020 --> 00:03:44,880
Presence of [global] powers [and] presence of nations at sea is not considered an exceptional event,

24
00:03:45,770 --> 00:03:54,940
[because] it is a common and ongoing affair. If a country, which neighbors sea and has sea coast,

25
00:03:56,020 --> 00:04:03,740
cannot make the sea that is close to it secure,

26
00:04:04,450 --> 00:04:10,710
in fact, it has not been able to build the pillars for its domestic security.

27
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,450
Therefore, maritime security is very important.

28
00:04:14,880 --> 00:04:25,170
Well, our youths, thank God, in the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps have worked in these fields,

29
00:04:25,510 --> 00:04:29,170
[and] have taken prominent and valuable steps.

30
00:04:30,910 --> 00:04:39,800
These [steps] should not be ignored in the sensitive history following the Islamic [Revolution].

31
00:04:41,940 --> 00:04:50,220
Right now, presence of esteemed families [of IRGC Navy staff] in the southern region [of Iran]

32
00:04:51,510 --> 00:04:55,480
is one of those great works, which is mixed with [some sort of] jihad.

33
00:04:55,770 --> 00:05:01,140
I deem it necessary to say this in presence of esteemed families.

34
00:05:01,570 --> 00:05:10,850
[The fact] that the IRGC Navy would make [the southern Iranian port city of] Bandar Abbas and its coasts and

35
00:05:11,650 --> 00:05:18,940
difficult regions its [main] base, and families go there

36
00:05:19,310 --> 00:05:24,450
and put up with these hardships, is very valuable.

37
00:05:25,910 --> 00:05:29,710
This is not something that one could take lightly.

38
00:05:32,510 --> 00:05:42,020
The southern region itself, [including] the Bushehr province, Bandar Abbas,

39
00:05:43,400 --> 00:05:48,280
[and] these regions, which are exposed to maritime incidents,

40
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,540
have passed good tests during the [post-]revolution years.

41
00:05:54,970 --> 00:06:03,200
Well, at first, presence of the [Islamic] Revolution was not very tangible at sea,

42
00:06:05,540 --> 00:06:14,370
but later on, the children of the revolution and those trained by the revolution and the youths of the revolution

43
00:06:15,370 --> 00:06:23,820
made their way there and the situation changed.

44
00:06:27,250 --> 00:06:32,940
When the ground was provided, people of the region, youths of the region,

45
00:06:33,050 --> 00:06:42,620
[and] the boiling motivations that existed in the region, all of them were put on the right course.

46
00:06:43,510 --> 00:06:53,310
Then you see that, for example, in Bushehr region, a prominent and honorable martyr like Martyr Nader Mahdavi

47
00:06:55,910 --> 00:07:08,220
is raised, which in the opinion of those people who are fond of issues related to martyrdom and jihad and the likes of these,

48
00:07:09,000 --> 00:07:16,800
such figures like Nader Mahdavi, and those who accompanied him,

49
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:25,050
those people who did those big things, who struck fear in enemy’s heart,

50
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:36,250
gave prestige to the Iranian nation, and flaunted the power of the Islamic Establishment and the Islamic Republic at the enemy,

51
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:40,000
their memory must be kept alive.

52
00:07:41,570 --> 00:07:50,740
These people, their name and their memory, must be highlighted in both the written history and the oral history,

53
00:07:51,020 --> 00:07:57,200
just [in the same way] that the hostilities of the enemies must be also made known.

54
00:07:59,600 --> 00:08:12,450
[The fact] that in the Persian Gulf region the goal of all those people who supported and defended this evil and ominous creature,

55
00:08:12,570 --> 00:08:21,220
that is [the former Iraqi dictator] Saddam [Hussein], the same people who have claim to [be advocates of] human rights,

56
00:08:23,110 --> 00:08:29,740
the same people who later on deployed [their forces] against Saddam

57
00:08:29,910 --> 00:08:35,420
– although they had helped him for many years against the Islamic Republic –

58
00:08:35,740 --> 00:08:41,400
[the fact that] their goal was to make the Persian Gulf insecure for the Islamic Republic,

59
00:08:43,250 --> 00:08:47,400
this [issue] shows the importance of the Persian Gulf.

60
00:08:48,450 --> 00:08:58,050
[It also] shows how this security is important that their animosity was aimed at making this region insecure for Iran,

61
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:06,250
which has the longest coast in this marine region –

62
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:13,680
[both in] the Persian Gulf and the Sea of Oman.

63
00:09:14,970 --> 00:09:23,570
The presence of the revolutionary youths and the IRGC and the [IRGC] Navy, and formation of this [military] force

64
00:09:23,970 --> 00:09:35,400
and its entry into the arena caused the sea to become insecure for them.

65
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:45,540
Their warship was damaged, their helicopter was damaged, [and] their oil tanker was damaged,

66
00:09:47,510 --> 00:09:57,170
[so that] they understood the Islamic Republic is not an entity with whose fate they could play in any way they wanted;

67
00:09:58,570 --> 00:10:03,110
this is [the sign of] the spiritual power of the Islamic Republic Establishment.

68
00:10:06,310 --> 00:10:09,310
[The fact] that the Quran orders us

69
00:10:09,450 --> 00:10:20,770
“And prepare against them whatever you are able of power and of steeds of war by which you may terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy,”

70
00:10:23,770 --> 00:10:35,850
[means that] your presence, your situation, [and] your movement must be such that it would scare the enemy.

71
00:10:36,910 --> 00:10:45,800
The enemy is aggressor by nature; [because] aggression, coming forth,

72
00:10:46,170 --> 00:10:51,220
conquering, and encroaching [upon other nations’ rights] is the nature of the world-devouring [powers];

73
00:10:53,170 --> 00:10:58,250
it is their nature; if your embankment is penetrable, [the enemy] would infiltrate;

74
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:04,140
[therefore,] you must move in such a way that it [enemy] would feel that it cannot infiltrate [among your ranks].

75
00:11:05,710 --> 00:11:12,680
Establishment of the revolutionary front in the southern [part of] the country

76
00:11:13,280 --> 00:11:19,420
and presence of revolution’s forces within framework of the IRGC Navy

77
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:31,280
and the youths of coastal provinces – these brave youths, these youths whose hearts are not attached to [pleasures of this] world –

78
00:11:33,620 --> 00:11:39,910
caused this Quranic goal to be achieved:

79
00:11:39,910 --> 00:11:42,600
“…terrify the enemy of Allah and your enemy.”

80
00:11:42,770 --> 00:11:46,570
This [situation] must continue forever.

81
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:57,200
I have frequently announced that we will not be initiator of [any] war; [and] we have our reasons for this;

82
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:01,650
we will not start any war,

83
00:12:03,970 --> 00:12:07,820
but [at the same time] the enemy must be stripped of the courage to start a war,

84
00:12:10,970 --> 00:12:16,280
[and to do this] the enemy must be known, [and] the nature of the enemy must be known.

85
00:12:17,770 --> 00:12:25,200
Today, organs affiliated to arrogant [powers]

86
00:12:25,820 --> 00:12:30,540
have defined dangerous goals for themselves in this region;

87
00:12:32,050 --> 00:12:37,570
these are the goals that deal with the fate of nations.

88
00:12:37,770 --> 00:12:47,420
[And] the tools they use [to achieve their goals] are also very dangerous and inhumane and brutal tools;

89
00:12:49,170 --> 00:12:55,620
that is, they are not shy about resorting to methods that would kill innocent human beings.

90
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:05,820
You just observe what they are doing in our western region, in Iraq, in Syria, or in our eastern region,

91
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:12,770
in Afghanistan, [and] in Pakistan? They are not shy about it,

92
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:19,600
that is, the life of human beings has no value for them. That they claim

93
00:13:19,820 --> 00:13:27,880
[to be advocates of] human rights and the rights of human beings and citizenship rights and such empty and absurd allegations and frames,

94
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:33,680
[they are] all against the reality; the evidence is what you see;

95
00:13:35,220 --> 00:13:42,540
they attack a hospital, [and] kill tens of patients through bombardment,

96
00:13:42,540 --> 00:13:50,220
then they say ‘forgive us, it was a mistake’! Sometimes they even don’t [bother to] apologize.

97
00:13:53,420 --> 00:13:59,650
In Gaza, in Yemen, in Bahrain, in Syria, in Iraq,

98
00:13:59,650 --> 00:14:09,650
[and] in other regions disasters take place, which make one surprised

99
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:17,370
about ruthlessness and brutality of those who cause these disasters, [and wonder] how could

100
00:14:19,510 --> 00:14:26,370
they put a person inside a cage and burn him and set him on fire alive?

101
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:31,370
[And at the same time] [while] human rights bodies just sit and watch [this brutality].

102
00:14:31,820 --> 00:14:35,970
Then when a dog or a cat falls into a well,

103
00:14:36,540 --> 00:14:41,540
they take advantage of all kinds of tools in order to bring it out of the well unharmed;

104
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:44,850
that is, [they want to show that] ‘we are supporting [any] living creature’.

105
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:51,310
The great threat [that is] posed [to our] world is this pretense, this lying,

106
00:14:51,820 --> 00:14:55,450
[and] this hypocrisy; the enemy is like this.

107
00:14:58,020 --> 00:15:02,680
Their purpose is to achieve their goals in the region.

108
00:15:02,850 --> 00:15:07,800
Of course, the Islamic Republic, by the divine assistance and by relying on the divine power and strength,

109
00:15:07,910 --> 00:15:14,310
not only prevents infiltration of the enemy into its territory,

110
00:15:14,740 --> 00:15:21,770
[but also] to a large extend prevents enemy’s plans from being implemented in the region.

111
00:15:22,620 --> 00:15:25,770
This is a success [bestowed on us] by God, [and] is [manifestation of] the divine power,

112
00:15:25,770 --> 00:15:30,620
which is a blessing [resulting from] these determinations and resolves that you, young people, have.

113
00:15:33,250 --> 00:15:47,140
Many of their plans, due to the power and presence and involvement of the Islamic Republic,

114
00:15:47,250 --> 00:15:53,600
have failed and been foiled in those places where it should have been involved;

115
00:15:54,820 --> 00:16:03,170
therefore, well, their highest focus for hostility is the Islamic Republic Establishment

116
00:16:03,600 --> 00:16:09,540
and [they do] whatever they can, and [the fact] that they talk about negotiation and dialogue is for infiltration.

117
00:16:10,140 --> 00:16:19,050
Some people in the case of negotiation and the issue of negotiation are showing oversight,

118
00:16:19,820 --> 00:16:25,250
are taking it easy, [and it appears that they] don’t understand this issue correctly.

119
00:16:26,510 --> 00:16:32,480
Now some people are carefree – the carefree [people] of the society

120
00:16:32,850 --> 00:16:36,200
for whom nothing that happens is important

121
00:16:36,510 --> 00:16:42,310
[even if] the expediency of the country is lost, [and] the national interests are destroyed

122
00:16:43,570 --> 00:16:49,450
– that we have nothing to do with them. However, some [people] are not carefree, but take everything easy,

123
00:16:49,820 --> 00:16:53,850
[and] do not understand the depth of issues. When it comes to negotiation,

124
00:16:54,280 --> 00:16:57,600
they say, ‘why you are against negotiation with America?

125
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:03,340
Well, [even] Amir al-Mo’menin [Imam Ali (PBUH)] negotiated with that given person, [and] Imam Hossein (PBUH) also negotiated.

126
00:17:03,420 --> 00:17:07,050
Well, these [kinds of remarks] are sign of taking [the issue] easy.

127
00:17:08,310 --> 00:17:12,480
They are sign of not understanding the depth of the issue.

128
00:17:13,570 --> 00:17:17,710
The country’s problems cannot be analyzed like this;

129
00:17:20,420 --> 00:17:30,140
[and] the country’s expediency cannot be realized through this commonplace and simplistic approach.

130
00:17:30,310 --> 00:17:40,370
Firstly, Amir al-Mo’menin, who [talked] with Zubair, or Imam Hossein (PBUH), who talked to Ibn Sa’ad, they advised him;

131
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,880
the issue was not negotiation in the sense that is known today; today, negotiation means dealing,

132
00:17:46,420 --> 00:17:48,510
that is, you give something [and] take something [in return].

133
00:17:48,880 --> 00:17:53,680
Did Amir al-Mo’menin (PBUH) deal with Zubair [by telling him] that ‘[you] give [me] something and take something [in return]’?

134
00:17:54,080 --> 00:18:01,480
Did Imam Hossein (PBUH) deal with Ibn Sa’ad [by telling him] that ‘[you] give [me] something and take something [in return]?’ Was this [their goal]?

135
00:18:02,620 --> 00:18:08,740
Do you understand history like this? Do you analyze the life of [Infallible] Imams like this?

136
00:18:10,540 --> 00:18:14,910
Imam Hossein went [to Ibn Sa’ad and] admonished [him], advised him, [and] said [to him:] ‘be afraid of God’.

137
00:18:16,200 --> 00:18:24,820
Amir al-Mo’menin (PBUH) [also] advised Zubair, reminded him the memory of the time of Prophet (PBUH), and said, ‘be afraid of God’.

138
00:18:25,420 --> 00:18:30,280
And it happened to be effective, [because] Zubair withdrew from the war.

139
00:18:31,570 --> 00:18:35,140
Today, negotiation does not mean this;

140
00:18:35,910 --> 00:18:43,020
[because] we have to negotiate with America, which is the Great Satan.

141
00:18:43,170 --> 00:18:48,510
A group [of people] really, through a take-it-easy approach and like common people

142
00:18:51,050 --> 00:18:58,250
and without [correct] understanding of the truth, bring examples and write in newspapers, [and] in websites

143
00:18:58,540 --> 00:19:08,170
and say in [their] speech that ‘why Amir al-Mo’menin (PBUH) negotiated with Zubair, [but] you don’t negotiate with America?’

144
00:19:08,370 --> 00:19:15,600
That is, [there is] so much mistake in understanding the issue. Now, this was not even negotiation in this sense.

145
00:19:17,850 --> 00:19:24,450
Secondly, we are not against negotiations [even] in the sense that it means today;

146
00:19:24,650 --> 00:19:27,140
right now, we are negotiating with the entire world.

147
00:19:28,620 --> 00:19:34,540
We are negotiating with European governments, [and we are also negotiating] with Latin American governments;

148
00:19:34,710 --> 00:19:40,250
these are all [examples of] negotiation; we have no problem with negotiation.

149
00:19:40,420 --> 00:19:47,200
The meaning of what we say that we don’t negotiate with America is not that we are opposed to negotiation in essence; no,

150
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:50,020
we are [only] opposed to negotiation with America.

151
00:19:51,480 --> 00:19:59,510
This [opposition] has a reason, and [an] intelligent human being must understand why [we don’t negotiate with America];

152
00:20:01,940 --> 00:20:08,940
otherwise, the others with which we are negotiating are not our devoted friends either

153
00:20:09,540 --> 00:20:12,650
– [and] some of them are [even] enemies, some are indifferent,

154
00:20:13,140 --> 00:20:15,770
[and] we negotiate with them and have no problem [with this]–

155
00:20:16,820 --> 00:20:22,600
but America’s negotiation with the Islamic Republic of Iran, would mean infiltration.

156
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:27,910
This is the definition they have for negotiation

157
00:20:28,940 --> 00:20:32,770
and they want to clear the way for the imposition [of their demands through negotiation].

158
00:20:34,850 --> 00:20:41,400
Today, the huge propaganda giant of the world is in control of America;

159
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:53,280
today, the Zionist current, which is a serious enemy of humanity and enemy of virtue,

160
00:20:54,420 --> 00:21:02,000
is in cahoots with America, [and] their hands come out of the same sleeve, and they are [united] with each other.

161
00:21:03,340 --> 00:21:09,680
Negotiation with them would mean to clear the way so that they would be able to infiltrate into the country both in the economic field,

162
00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:19,200
and in the cultural field, and in political and security fields.

163
00:21:21,650 --> 00:21:26,740
During these very negotiations on issues related to [Iran's] nuclear energy [program],

164
00:21:26,970 --> 00:21:32,020
wherever they found an opportunity and they were given latitude

165
00:21:32,110 --> 00:21:36,400
– which of course, Iranian sides, thank God, were vigilant,

166
00:21:36,710 --> 00:21:42,370
but in some places after all they found opportunities

167
00:21:42,850 --> 00:21:49,220
– they have made some kind of infiltration [and] have taken a step harmful for [Iran's] national interests.

168
00:21:50,510 --> 00:21:52,740
This is what is forbidden.

169
00:21:54,370 --> 00:22:01,200
Negotiation with America is forbidden due to countless disadvantages that it has

170
00:22:01,600 --> 00:22:05,000
and the benefit, which it does not have at all;

171
00:22:06,540 --> 00:22:13,450
this is different from negotiation with that given government, which neither possesses such facilities, nor such a motivation;

172
00:22:13,850 --> 00:22:17,050
these are different from each other, [and some people] don’t understand this [difference].

173
00:22:17,800 --> 00:22:26,880
The current problem of the country, unfortunately, is due to the existence of some people,

174
00:22:27,200 --> 00:22:36,540
who are at times carefree and at times easygoing, that are of course few [and] form a minority;

175
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:46,880
[and they] are nothing compared with the huge mass of revolutionary and vigilant and insightful population, but are active:

176
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:52,620
they write, and say, and repeat and repeat!

177
00:22:53,940 --> 00:22:56,050
[And] the enemy is helping them.

178
00:22:57,280 --> 00:23:04,170
Today, an important chapter of the activity of enemies of the Islamic Republic

179
00:23:04,420 --> 00:23:11,200
– which, of course, we are informed about them and are aware of what they are doing –

180
00:23:11,310 --> 00:23:19,540
is that [they want to] change the officials’ calculations

181
00:23:19,850 --> 00:23:22,170
and manipulate people’s ideas and [establish] these [ideas] in the minds of our youths;

182
00:23:22,370 --> 00:23:34,420
[and they want to manipulate] both revolutionary ideas, and religious ideas, and [those] ideas that are related to the country’s expediency.

183
00:23:35,050 --> 00:23:38,310
Their main target is also the youths.

184
00:23:38,880 --> 00:23:44,880
Under such circumstances, the country’s youths must be very vigilant. Thank God, they are vigilant;

185
00:23:44,880 --> 00:23:51,940
both our universities are vigilant, and our armed force are vigilant and our military organizations

186
00:23:51,940 --> 00:23:57,170
– both the [regular] army, and IRGC, and Basij, and the police force – thank God, are prepared [to take action];

187
00:23:57,740 --> 00:24:00,680
I have no concern in this regard.

188
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:08,740
I am addressing you, the children of the revolution, the youths of the revolution,

189
00:24:09,770 --> 00:24:18,650
who thank God, are partner to and active in one of the important issues of the country, that is, maritime security,

190
00:24:19,310 --> 00:24:26,250
to tell you that [you must] understand and know the importance of what you are doing today.

191
00:24:28,200 --> 00:24:36,940
Just as in the Event of Mubahala, the entire faith stood against the entire infidelity,

192
00:24:36,940 --> 00:24:42,280
today, the entire faith in the Islamic Republic Establishment is facing the entire infidelity;

193
00:24:43,170 --> 00:24:52,370
and in the same way that spirituality and purity and spiritual power of the Revered Prophet [of Islam] (PBUH) and his Household

194
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:56,310
managed to drive the enemy out of the arena,

195
00:24:56,540 --> 00:25:00,880
by Grace of God and through divine power and strength, the Iranian nation, with its power

196
00:25:00,970 --> 00:25:04,620
and with its spirituality, will drive the enemy out of the arena

197
00:25:28,020 --> 00:25:33,400
The role [played] by the IRGC at sea is an important role.

198
00:25:35,200 --> 00:25:41,970
The role of the activities of the youths in the southern region [of Iran] – [including] in Bushehr province or

199
00:25:42,370 --> 00:25:47,540
other coastal provinces – is a prominent role.

200
00:25:47,970 --> 00:25:54,370
Southern [Iranian] youths have really passed their test and have [passed it] good,

201
00:25:57,570 --> 00:26:02,820
and have shown that they can defend the honor of their country

202
00:26:02,940 --> 00:26:07,480
and their revolution and their [Islamic] Establishment in the true sense of the word.

203
00:26:08,820 --> 00:26:18,370
The role [played] by esteemed and dear families, who have accepted presence in that region

204
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:24,450
and have resided there, is [also] very important.

205
00:26:25,970 --> 00:26:33,880
If [all members of] families are not cooperative and empathic with men of those families, nothing can be done.

206
00:26:34,020 --> 00:26:40,080
Today, fortunately, the women of our country, [and] the ladies of our country

207
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:52,110
have very clear, sincere, [and] informed motivations;

208
00:26:54,110 --> 00:26:57,280
[and] it was the same all through the period of  war [with Iraq].

209
00:26:58,800 --> 00:27:05,020
I sometimes manage to sit with the families of martyrs, [and] talk [with them];

210
00:27:05,310 --> 00:27:16,710
most mothers of martyrs, if not more motivated and more enthusiastic than fathers of martyrs, are no less [motivated and enthusiastic]

211
00:27:17,570 --> 00:27:23,480
and in many cases their motivations and insights are even more [than fathers of martyrs].

212
00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:32,050
These are the women of our society; this is very valuable for the country.

213
00:27:33,310 --> 00:27:39,420
What I am saying is that you [must] increase your preparedness;

214
00:27:39,710 --> 00:27:44,800
both scientific preparedness, [that is,] in [the field of] science and in research,

215
00:27:44,800 --> 00:27:49,600
and instrumental preparedness, [that is,] with regard to instruments of war.

216
00:27:52,570 --> 00:27:57,250
Just as the commanding general pointed out,

217
00:27:57,650 --> 00:28:04,510
faced with the tools that the IRGC has deployed, the enemies

218
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:08,970
have started to think about changing their war strategies;

219
00:28:10,110 --> 00:28:23,680
that is, IRGC’s presence at sea combined with initiative has caused them to have

220
00:28:24,140 --> 00:28:26,710
to change their strategies.

221
00:28:29,480 --> 00:28:33,340
Therefore, your initiatives, your inventions, [and] your innovations in the issue of tools, and innovation in tools

222
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:48,280
must increase in parallel with the enemy’s movement in [the field of] scientific work and tool building and military presence; and this is possible;

223
00:28:48,740 --> 00:28:53,770
[because] innovation of human mind has no end.

224
00:28:55,280 --> 00:29:03,020
Just in the same way that, for example, one day the IRGC reached the conclusion that it must go for speedboats,

225
00:29:03,620 --> 00:29:11,510
it can [also] think about new issues, which would go beyond this [limit], be better than this, [and] be more powerful than this,

226
00:29:11,970 --> 00:29:18,220
and bring them to the arena. You [must] keep thinking, [and] have the upper hand,

227
00:29:18,540 --> 00:29:22,620
[because] “you may terrify the enemy of Allah.”

228
00:29:23,110 --> 00:29:26,710
If the enemy is not scared, it will intrude [on your territory];

229
00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:36,220
[and] if it is not scared, it will dare to invade. This is the second recommendation.

230
00:29:36,220 --> 00:29:43,020
The third recommendation is [about] cooperation. Today, thank God, the [Iranian] Army’s Navy

231
00:29:43,450 --> 00:29:50,710
is poles apart and totally different from the Army’s Navy [as it was] in early years of the revolution.

232
00:29:52,820 --> 00:29:58,280
I both knew that [old version] of the Navy with full details,

233
00:29:58,820 --> 00:30:04,710
and know this [new version of] the Navy; [the new Navy consists of] faithful and ready to work youths.

234
00:30:06,050 --> 00:30:09,250
Cooperate [with each other and] empathize [with each other],

235
00:30:11,400 --> 00:30:16,940
help each other, [and] take advantage of each other’s experiences;

236
00:30:18,600 --> 00:30:24,710
this synergy, will help, [and] will increase this national wealth.

237
00:30:25,940 --> 00:30:30,880
These are my remarks for you. Know that the Almighty God has your back,

238
00:30:31,020 --> 00:30:32,370
[and] have no doubt about this that [as the Quran says:]

239
00:30:32,600 --> 00:30:34,970
“if you assist Allah, Allah will assist you.”

240
00:30:36,110 --> 00:30:42,970
Our effort must be aimed at fulfilling ‘if you assist Allah” [part of this promise and] assist God.

241
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:48,200
If our intention, our action, [and] our move

242
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:57,080
conforms to ‘if you assist Allah’, then it would be certainly followed by “[Allah] will assist [you]’; the divine promise will never be violated.

243
00:30:59,420 --> 00:31:03,000
Pursue this movement, pursue this work,

244
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,620
[and] pursue this seriousness, [because] the future belongs to you.

245
00:31:07,620 --> 00:31:16,910
The enemies of Islam and Muslims, will be defeated both in West Asia region,

246
00:31:17,910 --> 00:31:24,280
and in other regions; [they] will be defeated both in the security and military field,

247
00:31:24,510 --> 00:31:30,820
and with favor of God, [they will be also defeated] in economic fields and in cultural fields, provided that we work [hard].

248
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:38,540
If we are ready to act, if we are present correctly and in the true sense of the word,

249
00:31:38,540 --> 00:31:45,650
and be prepared to act, the enemy will certainly be defeated; there is no doubt about this.

250
00:31:48,370 --> 00:31:51,880
I ask the Almighty God [increasing] achievements for you,

251
00:31:52,020 --> 00:31:59,820
and I ask the Almighty God to, God willing, increase your [state of] bliss, dear youths,

252
00:32:00,250 --> 00:32:03,850
and the progress and promotion of the Iranian nation,

253
00:32:05,110 --> 00:32:10,650
and [I ask God] to elevate the grades of the purified soul of the honorable Imam [Khomeini] and the dear martyrs of the revolution

254
00:32:10,770 --> 00:32:19,000
and the martyrs of IRGC and the IRGC Navy.

255
00:32:19,570 --> 00:32:22,200
Peace be unto you and so may the mercy of Allah and His blessings
