Khamenei: It is necessary to develop a culture of making use of the sea and to deepen the public understanding about the sea as a fundamental infrastructure
Khamenei: Iranian sailors had a history of spreading Islamic-Iranian culture and civilization to other parts of the world. Despite this history, the culture of using the opportunities at sea has been neglected in the country. This culture needs to become a part of the public culture
Khamenei: It is necessary to boost the combat power and defense equipment of the Navy while continuing measures such as sailing in remote, international waters
Khamenei: They promised to lift the sanctions as part of the JCPOA on the condition that we cut back on our industrial nuclear activity. Did they abide by their commitments No, they didn't
Khamenei: Negotiations with the US won't solve anything unless you're willing to give them a payoff, & not once or twice, but continually & regarding all fundamental issues. You have to cross all your red lines. Yes, then the US will leave you alone like during the previous government
Khamenei: From the US viewpoint, Iran-US problems will be settled if we keep giving them a payoff. First they say stop 20% uranium enrichment, then they say stop 5% before demanding we close the nuclear program. Next they say change the Constitution, then it's remove the Guardian Council

Khamenei: The world's eyes are all on the WorldCup when it's being held. The enemy usually uses this period of negligence to do something. It's important for officials to focus on internal affairs & foreign affairs, including in West Asia, the Caucasus, & the regions to the east of us
Khamenei: Taking by surprise is one of the enemy's methods. He has various ways of doing this. One of these ways is to start doing something somewhere with a great commotion to attract attention to that point before starting the main mission he had in mind
Khamenei: The Americans had spent billions of dollars and thousands of hours to eliminate Iran's strategic influence and to damage Iran. But this plot was thwarted because of the Islamic Republic's enormous, effective strength
Khamenei: Iran's presence led to the failure of US policy in these 3 countries. They wanted to take control of Iraq but failed. They had planned to oust the Pro-Assad forces, they failed. They pushed to eliminate the Hezbollah & Amal movements in Lebanon. It didn't work; they failed
Khamenei: What was Iran's response to the West's plot The Islamic Republic of Iran never entered the discussion about North Africa. We did not want to enter, and we never did. However, Iran's approach was successful in Iraq, Syria & Lebanon, & the US policy failed
Khamenei: From the Westerners' point of view, Iran had strategic depth in six countries. They had to be controlled by the United States and the imperialism before Iran could be dealt with. The governments of these six countries (Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Libya, Sudan and Somalia) had to fall
Khamenei: Praise God, we have millions of registered Basij forces and millions more of unregistered volunteers in the country. There are millions of Basiji in the Muslim world in various countries. The heartfelt values of all these Basij are the same
Khamenei: Being a member of the Basij means accepting that you will be oppressed in order to save the oppressed. You saw how the Basij were oppressed in recent unrest while protecting the Iranian ppl from the oppression of a group of rioters who were either unaware, misled or mercenaries
Khamenei: The Basij culture is a culture of self-effacing, hardworking volunteers. It is a culture of humble, undaunted fighters, a sense of braveness, a sense of serving mankind, & a sense of serving the country. It means making sacrifices for others
Khamenei: Yesterday, the Iranian National Team players made the Iranian nation happy. May God make them happy

Khamenei: Iranian scientists & experts have done great work during these few weeks of riots in the country: developing a new cure for blood cancer, unveiling one of the world's largest telescopes, unveiling a new hypersonic missile, & launching an Iranian run refinery outside the country
Khamenei: This massive propaganda system that the enemy is using against Iran, these satellite networks, this social media with its strange behavior, & these mercenary, hired TV stations are all working to kill hope in the people of Iran. But fortunately, hope is alive
