Seyyed Khamenei: Iran Will Maintain Unfaltering Stance Whoever Takes Helm of US
Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said that Iran will not be concerned about who emerges the winner of the US race for presidency and that the Islamic Republic’s stance towards the US hegemony will remain unaltered whatever the result of the election.
Sayyed said, “Some may think that a government can benefit from submitting to the demands of the United States, but the governments that surrendered to American bullying have suffered the most and their troubles have only multiplied.”
“Iran’s policy towards the US is calculated and clear and does not change with the movement of individuals,” he stressed.
The leader noted that the arrival or departure of political figures might have implications for others, but that Iranians “will be unconcerned and the Islamic Republic’s policy will be unaffected.”
Sayyed Khamenei further said the main reason for America’s enmity with the Islamic establishment is Iran’s opposition to oppressive policies and its refusal to recognize hegemony.
“This enmity will continue and the only way to resolve it is for the other side to lose hope in the assumption that it can inflict a major blow to the Iranian nation and government.”
Sayyed Khamenei also pointed to the allegations by American officials themselves of widespread cheating in the ongoing elections and said the incumbent president, whose administration is holding the vote, says this is the most fraudulent election in the United States while his rival says Donald Trump intends to cheat.
“Disregarding who will come to power in America, the current situation attests to a severe civil, political and moral decline in the US — something that has been acknowledged by thinkers in the United States.”
French govt. defending freedom, but sheltering terrorists
He also censured the French government for supporting the publication of offensive cartoons of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon Him) under the guise of free speech, while at the same time providing a safe haven for anti-Iran terrorists.
Sayyed Khamenei made the remarks in a televised address on Tuesday, marking the birth anniversary of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), which coincides with the Islamic Unity Week festivities.
He described what has recently transpired in France as the latest manifestation of the hostile confrontation of global arrogance and Zionism towards Islam, rather than being simply an error committed at the hands of a deviant artist.
