Iranian leader Ali Khamenei claimed that US hostility towards Tehran was not limited to the outgoing US President Donald Trump and ended with his departure from power, pointing out that “Obama’s America also offended the Iranian people.”
On the unilateral sanctions imposed by Washington on Tehran, Khamenei said that “the lifting of the sanctions should not be delayed an hour. Until now, there are 4 years”, adding: “We have to think about thwarting the sanctions rather than lifting them.” .
He highlighted the lack of confidence in the promises of “this or that to solve the problems of the people and the future of the country. These are not good promises, but promises of the wicked, and let’s not forget the hostility of these people.” Khamenei recommended that Iranian officials be “strong” and not trust “enemies”, and preserve the “patriotic union”.
The Iranian guide noted that the European “Trio” (France – Germany – Great Britain) dealt with Iran “with the utmost disrespect and hypocrisy,” and noted that if sanctions could be lifted in a “logical and correct manner that preserves the sovereignty and the rights of Iran, then it must be done. “
With the upcoming first anniversary of the assassination of the Quds Force commander, Martyr General Qassem Soleimani, Khamenei stated that “revenge will take place against the murderers of Major General Soleimani, and this revenge is certain and will come at any moment.”
He noted that the millions of marches that accompanied the martyr Soleimani “are not revenge for his murder, rather it was the first slap in the face of the Americans, but the strongest slap will be to expel America from the region”, considering that “whoever ordered and carried out the assassination of Soleimani will be retaliated against.” It’s possible. “
Earlier today, Khamenei received the organizers of the memorial services for the martyrdom of Major General Qassem Soleimani, the martyr Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis and the family of the martyr Soleimani.
Tehran announced yesterday the launch of “Resistance Radio”, which will broadcast a series of programs on Soleimani’s religious, Koranic and moral character, on the eve of his martyrdom anniversary.
In addition to fearing a new response to the assassination of the martyr Soleimani, Iran accuses the United States of being involved in a conspiracy with Saudi Arabia and “Israel” to assassinate the Iranian scientist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, who “promised to respond to his assassination.”
Two weeks ago, Politico reported, citing US officials, that President Donald Trump “agreed to withdraw approximately half of the US diplomats from Iraq, in a move that appears temporary,” and explained that “the step is anticipated to a response Iranian on the anniversary of the martyrdom of General Qassem Soleimani “. That falls on January 3.
And acting US Defense Secretary Christopher Miller officially announced the implementation of President Donald Trump’s orders to reposition US forces and reduce them to 2,500 troops in Afghanistan and 2,500 troops in Iraq, by January 15.
