 In 1981, the Iranian people were able to stand on their own feet and disappoint the enemy, he said, stressing that today the people are able to do that again as the divine traditions continue unchanged.

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei spoke about the essential components of an Islamic government, saying that the Islamic government must promote spirituality based on Islamic values like justice, fairness, brotherhood, and fight against corruption.

Confirming the remarks of Iran's judiciary chief that "the fight against corruption within the judiciary is a priority,", the Leader also underlined, "The majority of judiciary personnel are honorable, clean-handed, faithful and hardworking individuals, but the few corrupt people who harm the work and reputation of others must be dealt with."

Regarding the fight against corruption, the main task is to confront the corrupt structures and break them down, the Leader stressed, describing the judiciary as an important and influential pillar in the country.
