Raisi Urges Fellow State Officials to Cease Revealing Regime’s Shortcomings<\/h3>\n

\"iran<\/p>\n

On June 8, in his recent trip to the Northwestern city of Tabriz, the Iranian regime’s President Ebrahim Raisi slammed other state officials that continue to expose the regime’s state of misery and called on them to align themselves with the Supreme Leader Khamenei.<\/p>\n

“During a comprehensive analysis of the recent disturbances, the Supreme Leader expressed that the country is making advancements,” Raisi boasted during his speech. “But certain individuals question this progress. While the enemy officially admits, while the White House spokesperson admits the failure of maximum pressure and sanctions against Iran, why are you people getting sad? We went to inspect several centers in Tabriz to see what has been undertaken… I’m just talking about [developments in] Tabriz. Isn’t this progress? Why are some people failing to see these things?”<\/p>\n

He added: “The robustness of Iran is exemplified by its missile production and the Fatah [missile] development. We witness this production in various locations within Azerbaijan, skillfully carried out by esteemed manufacturers and economic entrepreneurs. I’m addressing some individuals, despite facing sanctions, Iran’s trade has broken records which is unprecedented in the past four decades. Iran’s trade is now 53 billion dollars. The enemy didn’t want this but despite the enemy’s will, the progress was made. They didn’t want our production [to increase]. They didn’t want our production centers to be active. They didn’t want us to make progress.”<\/p>\n
