Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, called on the country's population to demonstrate unity in a speech on the occasion of 22 Bahman (February 11), the Victory Day of the Islamic Revolution, Tasnim reported.

Axar.az reports that in a televised message ahead of the February 11 rallies marking the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, he praised the Iranian people’s resilience and presence in nationwide demonstrations as a symbol of strength that deters foreign interference.

Khamenei highlighted that national power relies on popular resistance, motivation, unity, and moral as well as scientific progress, and expressed hope that the youth would continue advancing Iran’s material and spiritual achievements.

It is worth noting that Khamenei surprised many by not attending the traditional meeting with Air Force commanders on the occasion of “19 Bahman” (February 8).
