Imam-Anniversary-Leader
Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei here Sunday warned that anyone who threatens harm to Iran's interests will face the wrath of the entire Iranian nation.
The Supreme Leader's remarks were part of his address to a huge crowd of people gathered at the late Imam Khomeini's mausoleum in southern Tehran to mark the 17th anniversary of the departure of the Founder of the Islamic Republic.
"Iran does not intimidate anyone and will not hesitate to defend its ideals and national interests in the face of aggression. Anyone who threatens our country will face the wrath of the nation," said the Supreme Leader.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the noble Iranian nation, with its power and dignity, had for years been kept backward by dictatorial powers and their cronies.
"We want to use the enormous and rich human and natural resources of Iran in the right place and free the country from the intimidation and bondage of the past several centuries."
Ayatollah Khamenei, elsewhere in his speech, said that Iran had no problems with any country in the region or in Europe so much so that Washington felt it necessary to fan flames of hostility.
