Tehran, July 8, IRNA – Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the world hegemonic powers are trying to create miscalculation in the officials of the Islamic Republic but Iran will continue its glorious path based on divine traditions. Ayatollah Khamenei was addressing a group of high-ranking officials of the Islamic Republic of Iran who met with him on the occasion of the holy month of Ramadhan. Ayatollah Khamenei said the behavior of hegemonic powers, especially the United States, is like the one of the Satan because they try to dominate countries through intimidation and bribery Pointing to verses in the holy Koran, the Ayatollah said if people move in the direction of the Almighty God, then divine help would be certain and the victory of the Islamic Revolution was an example of this divine tradition. Ayatollah Khamenei said since the two main tools of the enemy i.e. military threat and sanctions have proven ineffective, they have started the new strategy of leading Iranian officials toward miscalculation. He urged the officials to confront the sanctions with resistance economy and stressed that military threat won’t happen because it is not in their favor. The leader then gave some advice to the government and stressed that he supports President Rouhaniˈs administration and urged the governmentˈs critics to be fair in their judgments. Ayatollah Khamenei said US opposition to Iranˈs nuclear technology is unfair and illogical, adding that preventing access to nuclear arms has definite procedures and responsible organizations but the US is not entitled to express concern over the probability of access to nuclear arms because it has used these arms and has currently thousands of them. On the regional issues, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the crisis in Iraq and said the faithful people of Iraq, with the help of the Almighty God, will thwart this plot and regional nations will develop materially and spiritually.
