Leader: Enemies targeting Iran economy

The Leader said that creating a rift among the country’s managing organs was the second objective of hegemonic powers, adding, “All officials must be vigilant and prevent differences of opinion and diversity in taste to result in challenge and conflict.”

Referring to the 2009 sedition, Ayatollah Khamenei said the unforgivable sin of seditionists was that they turned their doubts into a challenge for the establishment and delivered blows to the country and establishment.

The ‘sedition movement’ refers to the unrest following the 2009 presidential elections, during which despite government assurances about the transparency of the vote, riots continued in the country, especially in the capital, Tehran.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the third objective the enemies of Islam pursue is weakening Islamic beliefs and sentiments as well as promoting apostasy.

“Promoting different kinds of corruption, giving raise to doubt in religious beliefs is the obvious objective of hegemonic powers against Iran and the Islamic Awakening in the region.”

Referring to the upcoming Majlis election, the Leader strongly advised Iranian officials to respect the election and said, “No one must interfere in the election in anyway… so that Majlis is formed based on the people’s choice and vote.”

Ayatollah Khamenei also described cooperation and compatibility between Majlis and government as “necessary.”
