"The Islamic Republic of Iran is considered the only state whose constitution is based on the Holy Qoran and which is run by officials, led by the Supreme leader, who are committed to removing the people's weaknesses and capitalizing on their strengths," he told a gathering of Iranian pilgrims in the holy city of Mecca in Saudi Arabia.

He then urged Iranians to defend the Islamic system in this country in view of the fact that "arrogant powers, headed by the US and the Zionist occupying regime, have mobilized to bring defeat to Islamic Iran."

Elsewhere in his talks, he hailed the Haj pilgrimage as the most perfect mission ever mandated by God upon human beings through which they can clean their own impurities and those of societies in which they live.

He urged the Iranian pilgrims to follow the practices recommended by the Prophet Mohammad, his successor Imam Ali, and his infallible daughter Hazrat-e Fatemeh (PBUH).

Thousands of Iranian pilgrims travel to Mecca, Saudi Arabia, every year to perform the Haj pilgrimage.
