Tehran – The first foreign guest to meet Tehran’s Imam Khomeini on the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979 to celebrate the Iranian and the Iranian state was Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) Yasser Arafat and his accompanying Palestinians. I congratulate you on the victory of the Islamic Revolution. Delegation.
The oppressed Palestinian state was just one of many Muslim and non-Muslim countries inspired by Iran’s Islamic Revolution. The victory of the Islamic Revolution was a very important, critical and promising factor for the future of the Palestinian struggle.
The victory of the Islamic Revolution brought much joy, especially among the occupied territories and the people of Lebanese, among the Palestinians of Muslims. Palestinian fighters run through refugee camps across occupied lands, skipping the cathedral of festive gunfights to express their joy over the victory of the Islamic Revolution It fired at.
Six days after the victory of the Islamic Revolution on February 18, 1979, PLO Chairman Yasser, who was previously hated by the fallen regime of Mohammad Reza Shah, a nearby ally of the Israeli regime. Arafat suddenly arrives at Terran and an unannounced visit. Upon arriving from Damascus at Tehran’s Merabad airport, he told reporters: The Iranians broke chains bound around the Palestinians. This great revolution of you is a guarantee of our victory. ”
“Your revolution was like an earthquake that sent shockwaves around the world and trembled Israel and imperialism,” the PLO chairman said elsewhere in an interview at Merabad airport.
He replied when asked whether Arafat had felt the Palestinian movement was “strong” since the Iranian uprising, according to media reports. It completely changed the entire strategy and policy in this area. It’s upside down. ”
See Iran’s sharp turn signs
The visit was an impressive indication of Iran’s foreign policy turn on the Palestinian issue, with the New York Times reporting on the visit at the time. The Shah maintained ties with the Israeli regime and provided the regime with about 60% of its oil needs, the Times Report added.
The Pahlavi regime initially rejected Israel’s recognition, but after Shah tightened his grip on power, his regime established a clear and secret connection with the occupation regime. The informal Israeli embassy has been active in Tehran for years to promote the interests of Iranian Zionists.
At the same time, signs of reading the “Palestinian Embassy” were placed at the top of the front door of an unofficially declared embassy building in downtown the capital in the presence of Arafat. It was done.
In fact, the embassy once looked like a spy centre. Israeli security experts helped build the secret police of the infamous Pahlavi regime known as Savak. They have contributed a lot to Savak’s HR training. The Israeli intelligence agency and Sabak had come into contact with each other and suppressed the movement for freedom in Iran before the revolution.
High-ranking Israeli government officials have repeatedly visited Iran to hold meetings with Shah’s government authorities, despite sparking rage among Muslim countries.
However, after the Islamic Revolution of 1979, led by Imam Khomeini, the course reversed in line with the Muslim people’s demands, cutting the country off the Israeli regime, which stripped it of all diplomacy and trade ties. Even before the revolution, many Iranians were in Lebanon, helping Shiite communities and the oppressed Palestinian refugees, where they were invaded by the Zionist regimes south of the country.
Meet Imam Khomeini with a Palestinian delegation
At the meeting, Imam Khomeini emphasized on Arafat that left-wing Arab nationalism and dependence on foreign power would not direct Palestinian struggle towards victory. Instead, the Imams have shown the Palestinians a mere trusting in the Almighty God and relying on the Holy Qur’an and Islamic teachings, showing progress in achieving the goal of liberation of the occupied Palestinian lands. He spoke.
“Shah also fixed his hopes for support from the US, UK, China, Israel and others, but their support was not very strong. Imam Khomeini further emphasized.
Imam Khomeini further emphasized that the Palestinian issue is a problem across the Islamic world, and that if Palestinians are not held responsible not only by political struggles, but by all Muslim countries, on the battlefield and on the battlefield. He emphasized that it emphasized the need to cultivate it as a religious obligation not to do so. An armed struggle between the Holy Qued and his supporters.
Resistance is the only solution to the Palestinian problem
Almost ten years after meeting Imam Khomeini in 1988, Arafat, an indifferent to Palestinians suffering on the Arab rulers, is fascinated by the bid for a solution for two invisible states, and succumbed to pressure. They began negotiating with the Israeli regime. The PLO signs the Oslo agreement, which has pledged to acknowledge Israel’s condition and refuse an armed struggle. But all this had a devastating effect on the Palestinian struggle.
In the years following the Islamic Revolution, Iran’s Islamic Republic helped various Muslim states in the region to form a powerful alliance of resistance to the occupying regime.
Tehran also helped globalize the Palestinian people. On the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, it was Imam Khomeini who appointed International QUDS Day, in which Muslims around the world would show solidarity with the Palestinians.
Unlike Arab nationalism, which had humiliating defeats against the Israeli regime in both the wars of 1967 and 1973, resistance won many battlefields against the seizing regime and its Western supporters.
Resistance, inspired by the Iranian revolution, is now a global movement, finding supporters among freedom seekers around the world, even among the people of Western countries.
Today, Iran is proud of its role in supporting it in creating a powerful resistance movement that has successfully fought against the most wilderness in history.
