NCRI –\u00a0Iranian Supreme Leader Mullah Ali Khamenei delivered remarks on Monday expressing concerns over the regime \u201cbecoming polarized\u201d and \u201cpeople divided by rifts,\u201d describing such an outcome as dangerous and must not be repeated.<\/p>\n
\u201cOur national interest must match our national identity, not for our national identity being dependent on issues described as national interests\u2026 our national interests must not be imposed by foreigners,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOfficials should distance from foreign enemies and their foreign elements\u2026 During the 2009 incidents, there were people on the streets chanting against the revolution and religious beliefs, and we faced major difficulties as we did not distance ourselves from such elements,\u201d Khamenei continued.<\/p>\n
On the Iran nuclear deal \u201cwe could have not trusted the enemy, but in some cases and for some reasons, such as not providing any pretexts to the Americans, we backed down and of course there were no pretexts and we suffered,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe trusted the officials who followed up this issue, as we do today, as we consider them our men and believers in religion. However, in this regard, since we believed the words of our counterparts, voids were left and the enemy is currently taking advantage of,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is obvious that the US is not fond of Iran\u2019s Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) and Quds Force, and they will be placing conditions, for example for the IRGC to not exist, the Bassij to not interfere, act like this and that in foreign affairs and such other remarks. However, in complete contrast to the enemy, all our officials must boost Iran\u2019s symbols of strength, such as the armed forces, the IRGC and Bassij, and all other believers,\u201d Khamenei emphasized.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe honorable president in his speech said actions should be taken, yet he is the main individual, along with his team, to implement these measures,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
On the threats posed by social media Iran for the regime Khamenei said, \u201cAn avalanche of immoral issues that are against our national interests, right and wrong context, right and wrong information, and even half-intelligence are provided to the society. This must be controlled.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
