Ayatollah Khamenei: Enemies seeking to create despair in Iran

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says creating despair in Iran is among the main policies of the country’s enemies.

The Leader made the remarks in a meeting with the chairman and members of the Assembly of Experts in Tehran on Thursday.

Ayatollah Khamenei said some enmities toward the Islamic Republic are “political enmity,” adding, “For example, the Islamic Republic pursues a stance on the Palestinian issue and [world] powers have another position. [This] creates enmity.”

“These are not very important. The one that is more important is intrinsic enmity. The nature of the Islamic Republic creates this enmity,” the Leader added.

The Leader warned that some Western countries use liberal democracy as an option to dominate the world, emphasizing, however, that the Islamic Republic brings democracy and freedom along with religion.

Ayatollah Khamenei stated that a democracy based on religion leads to hostility because it foils the enemies’ conspiracies.
