In meeting with the members of the Islamic Consultative Assembly, Iranian Parliament, Imam Khamenei considered “religious democracy” a “new idea” which has provoked the animosity of world powers.

 The following are some of the main points he stated during this meeting:

A religious, Islamic democracy is a new idea. We have brought this into the world’s political literature. This is what provokes the animosity of the top powers in the world against this truth and phenomenon.
 
The slogans of the Revolution are beneficial to the country, despite what some profess that the Islamic Revolution creates problems for Iran. No, it is the other way around. The Revolution and paying attention to these ideals are cures for the country’s sufferings.
 
The liberation of Khorramshahr transformed a bitter situation into a sweet one. The Iranian nation was saved. This was due to their jihad, self-sacrifice, strong determination and having initiative. The spirit behind of all these virtues was sincerity and reliance on God.
​
Hostile rivalry between nuclear powers, military moves in Europe where wars arise, new contagious diseases, threats of food shortages—under such conditions in the world, managing countries has become more complicated. Country's managers should know what great tasks await them.
