iran supreme leader sayyed ali khamenei in meeting with families of security martyrs:   only a strong iran can ensure and secure the country and peoples safety and progress. therefore, irans strength in all economic, scientific, political, defense, and administrative fields must increase day by day.  they are exaggerating the incident (the zionist attack) for specific purposes, but downplaying it and saying it was insignificant is also a mistake.  they are caught up in miscalculations regarding iran. they dont understand iran. they still havent fully grasped the strength, capability, innovation, and will of the iranian people. we need to make them understand these things.  officials in the country should determine how to convey the power and will of the iranian people to the zionist entity; the enemies need to know who the iranian people are and what iranian youth are like. the current thinking, motivation, courage, and readiness among the iranian people today is what creates security. we must preserve this. some people believe, in their strange analysis and thinking, that refraining from producing tools that provoke the arrogance of the oppressors, like missiles, can bring security to iran. this thought and mistaken perception, in reality, tell the people and officials to keep the country weak to stay safe! sayyed ali also mentioned the tragedy of irans occupation in world wars i and ii, despite the countrys declaration of neutrality, attributing it to the incompetent or traitorous rulers policies. he added, they turned away from real power tools, leading the nation and the country into a state of disgrace, weakness, and helplessness in providing security.
