The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei, has praised the deep impact of what he described as the Iranian nation’s exceptional unity, saying it has created a “fracture” within the ranks of the enemy. He also called for practical expressions of gratitude to further strengthen national cohesion.
“Due to the remarkable unity created among compatriots, a fracture has occurred in the enemy,” the Leader said in a message posted on X on Thursday, stressing that unprecedented solidarity has disrupted efforts aimed at undermining the Islamic Republic.
Mojtaba Khamenei underlined the importance of translating gratitude for this “divine blessing” into action, stating that such efforts would make national unity “stronger and more resilient,” while leaving adversaries “weakened and humiliated.”
He also warned of ongoing psychological warfare by hostile forces, saying, “The enemy’s media operations, by targeting the minds and psyches of the people, intend to undermine national unity and security; we must not allow negligence to enable this sinister objective.”
The message comes at a sensitive time, as Iran continues to face sanctions, threats, and coordinated propaganda campaigns, which it attributes to the United States, Israel, and their Western allies.
According to Iranian leadership, this unity, rooted in faith and revolutionary ideals, has repeatedly acted as a stabilizing force, turning external pressure into an opportunity for national resilience and advancement.
Earlier, the heads of Iran’s executive, legislative, and judicial branches issued a joint response to remarks by US President Donald Trump, rejecting his claims of “divisions within Iran” as “provocative and unfounded”.
President Masoud Pezeshkian, Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, and Judiciary Chief Gholam-Hossein Mohseni Ejei emphasised national unity and a shared stance of defiance in their coordinated message.
Iranian officials also referenced past hostilities, stating that the country had responded to aggression with retaliatory missile and drone operations against US and Israeli targets, causing significant damage over an extended period.
