"What bullying powers are opposed to is a powerful Islam, which lays the foundations for a sociopolitical system and guides nations towards prosperity," Ayatollah Khamenei added.

Touching upon the international occasion, the Leader said Iran insistently demanded that the Organization of Islamic Cooperation designate August 21 as World Mosque Day, in an effort to draw attention to Israel’s burning of the Al Aqsa Mosque in 1969.
