Delivering speech at the Commemoration Ceremony of the 36th Anniversary of the Dmise of Imam Khomeini, Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said that Islamic Revolution surprised the West.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, "The impact of the Islamic Revolution by Imam Khomeini is visible to people around the world."
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the Islamic Revolution surprised the Western world, noting that Iran’s political system has since developed with stability and strength.
"The sharp decline in America's position in the world is affected by his presence, and hatred of Zionists is affected by his revolution," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"Today in the Western world, you see a movement towards aversion to Western values; the Imam created such a revolution," the Leader said.
Referring to hostilities against the Islamic Revolution in recent decades, he said, "In my opinion, the conspiracies against the Islamic Revolution are unprecedented in comparison to revolutions in the world."
Ayatollah Khamenei said "The Islamic Republic has withstood all conspiracies, and hostilities."
According to PressTV, regarding the US claims against Iran's peaceful nuclear program, he said, "The US's first word is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry. Our response to America's nonsense claims is clear: they can not do a damns thing in this matter."
"The nuclear industry is a parent industry. Many scientific fields are affected by the nuclear industry. Uranium enrichment is the key to the nuclear issue, and the enemies have focused on enrichment," he said.
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says uranium enrichment is the key to Iran’s nuclear issue, dismissing US proposals to Tehran ultimately stop all enrichment in the country.
“The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and depend on the United States,” the Leader said in a televised speech from the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini in southern Tehran Wednesday.
“Our response to the US’ nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter,” the Leader said as Iran marked the 36th anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Republic.
His remarks came amid reports that the Trump administration is proposing an arrangement that would allow Iran to continue enriching uranium at low levels.
“Under the proposal, the United States would facilitate the building of nuclear power reactors for Iran and negotiate the construction of enrichment facilities managed by a consortium of regional countries,” The New York Times wrote Wednesday.
Ayatollah Khamenei cited the 1980s, when Iran experienced the United States being unreliable after Washington and Europeans refused to provide Iran with 20% enriched uranium for fuel.
"Why are you interfering? Whether Iran has enrichment or not, what does it matter to you? Who are you? the Leader said, addressing the US.
