Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that material powers whose model of power is based solely on military equipment and material calculations are not able to defeat a nation that has an Islamic model of power. "The victory of the Islamic Revolution was a clear example of superiority of spiritual power over material power. By relying on religious faith, the Iranian nation managed to defeat the Shah's satanic regime with empty hands."
