From tehranbureau:
Khamanei Condemns Tyranny
Quoting then (not-yet-Ayatollah) Hojatol-Islam Seyed Ali Khamanei, the current Supreme Leader at a speech in Qom: “The Shah was guilty of this: He said it’s my word, not the nation’s. Today anyone who repeats this behavior, it not acceptable; he is condemnable.”
“Once illiteracy, poverty, hunger, oppression and inequality are wiped away from society, the revolution will have been successful.”
