Khamenei: The Revolution's slogan is resisting the Arrogant Powers. We thank God the Iranian nation has been blessed by this resistance. This resistance has affected the region. Today, the grandeur of the Arrogant Front has been broken in the region & nations speak out against the US
Khamenei: In the field of diplomacy, our good, revolutionary brothers are working for the sanctions to be lifted & to convince the other side to do so. That's good, but more important is nullifying sanctions via domestic production, economic dynamism & use of a knowledge-based economy
Khamenei: There are two tools in the hands of the enemy for separating the people from the establishment & changing people's way of thinking & thoughts: economic hostility & media hostility. The youth should stand against these. The IranianNation should stand against these two actions
Khamenei: Regarding the JCPOA in the years 2015-2016, my criticism was that certain points had to be observed in the JCPOA so that problems would not arise in the future. Well, some of these points were not heeded and later problems emerged, which everyone is witnessing
Khamenei: They know Iran's nuclear program is peaceful. But they make absurd, senseless claims on how close Iran is to making a bomb. We seek peaceful use of nuclear energy. They know this, but they want the Iranian nation to face difficulties when it needs nuclear energy in the future
