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
