Iran Foreign Ministry spokesman Ramin Mehmanparast said on Saturday that the US has always sought sabotage in Iran in a bid to dishearten the people from the Islamic Revolution, IRNA reported.
Addressing a ceremony marking the 33rd victory anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, he said that the Iranian nation withstood the enemies in the past 33 years through vigilance and resistance.
'The eight-year US-backed Iraqi-imposed war, economic sanctions and terror acts were all among the plots hatched by the US but the more they mounted pressure, the Iranian nation stood stronger,' Mehmanparast said.
Mehmanparast noted that in the past year, four dictators collapsed through their nation's revolutionary movements, denoting the spread of awakening across the world.
The arrogant powers are trying to dishearten the people from the Islamic Revolution and create discord in the country, he said, adding that today the people showed that they are still loyal to the Islamic Revolution and Imam Khomeini's ideals through massive turnout.
They will also actively participate in the parliamentary elections slated for March 2, Mehmanparast said.
