Tehran, YJC. Commander of Basij says those who are against the Down With USA slogan might go the way of the late Shah.
"Every
writer with a pen but lacking the power to move it for the Holy War literature
is missing something,” asserted Brigadier General Mohammadreza Naqdi.
Speaking
in the sidelines of the fourth National Holy War Book Fair, he said "Those who
try to deprive our people of the Down With USA slogan must take lesson from the
overthrown Shah.”
"While
we were surrounded from all sides under the worst situations, and were under
sanctions and bombs and missiles, we taught all with our bare hands how to
stand and win. Today it is time once again to show we are real students to the school
of martyrs. So if the whole world gather round to divert us from the right
path, we will not back down one step,” the Commander of Basij said, according
to Mehr News Agency.
Naqdi
exclaimed "Today a bunch of extremist hirelings have got so far as to insult
the Iranian nation. They lie and they deceive them to abandon their slogan
wishing death for America. Them who try to deprive our people of down with USA
must take lesson from the Shah’s fate. This was experienced during the Pahlavi.
He tried to lead people where they did not oppose arrogance. But he failed.”
