The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has stressed that confronting the arrogant system is one of the honors of the Islamic Republic of Iran, as well as the Shia Muslims.

 Addressing the summit participants, Ayatollah Khamenei termed Ahlul-Bayt World Assembly as an important and great center and noted that the center is affiliated with the Ahlul-Bayt (family of prophet Muhammad PBUH), and this family has unparalleled greatness and popularity in the Islamic world.
According to the Suprme Leader's remarks, the members of this assembly have a great duty to represent a good image from Ahlul-Bayt to Muslims.
Ayatollah Khamenei also pointed out that the assembly must become a base for spreading the teachings of Ahlul-Bayt in order to represent such a good image.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution stated that the followers of AhlulBayt are proud that they have taken the most important step in confronting the system of arrogance and domination.
