This morning’s attack on #Syria is a crime. I firmly declare that the U.S. president, the president of France, and the PM of Britain have committed a major crime. They will gain no benefit; just as they did not while in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, over the past years, committing the same criminal acts.

Ayatollah Khamenei, 14/4/2018

The Islamic Republic has been created based on crucial ideals like monotheism, justice, liberty and independence and is different from common forms of government in the world.

Nation's desire for a domestic social network is a source of delight

As a part of Iranian new year visits, a group of officials met with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution--Ayatollah Khamenei--this morning, April 9, 2018.

​​​​​​​​​​​
The current era is one of dignity for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The reason for the unprecedented attacks against the Islamic Republic of Iran is due to its increase in power; because the enemies have been terrified by this increasing power, they have accelerated their attacks. Despite all conspiracies, against the enemies’ will, the power of the Islamic establishment will accelerate day by day.

​​​​​​​​​​​
In response to the letter of Mr. Ismail Haniyeh— the leader of a Palestinian resistance and endeavoring group:

- No doubt, resistance is the only way to free an oppressed Palestine, and it’s the only cure for wounds on the body of that brave and proud nation.

- On days when escalation of oppression & barbarism by the Zionists, in Gaza, has saddened, made angry those who care for Palestine, we stress on the perpetual stance of the Islamic Republic, regarding the issue of Palestine; which is an important issue for the Islamic nation.

- Today the return of dignity and power to the Islamic nation is exclusively linked to resistance—while confronting arrogant powers and their wicked plots; and the issue of Palestine is at the top of Islam’s international issues in the face of the arrogant front.

- Moving towards negotiations with the deceptive, lying, and usurper regime is an unforgettable error that will impede the victory of the Palestinian nation, and it will not bear anything but detriment to that oppressed nation. The act of betrayal by some Arab heads of states— which is gradually being revealed— pursues the same goal.

No other country is as independent as Iran

• The revolution's main slogans and values involve independence, freedom, the rule of the people, national self-confidence, justice, above all realization of those values and application of religious laws. Our slogans have been preserved as fresh as early years of the revolution.

• In the world today, no country's independence equals to that of the Iranian nation. All nations of the world have some sort of compromise with major powers. The nation whose decisions are not influenced by any other nation is the Iranian nation.

• In our country, there exists freedom of thought, freedom of expression, and freedom of choice. No one with ideas and thoughts opposing the establishment is pressured, threatened, or persecuted by the establishment. However, freedom is observed within the framework of law and religion.

• During the year gone by, the Islamic Republic managed to raise the flag representing the Iranian nation's dignity and power in the region, which played a key role in defeating takfiri groups, bringing about security.

• The U.S. does not seek to create security in the region. They were in Afghanistan for 14 years. What on earth did they do there? Some say they didn't want to bring about security, others say they wanted to but failed.

• Our involvement in certain parts of the region was upon the request of those nations, we have taken measures based on logical and wise motives, rather than based on emotions. We did so without interfering with their domestic affairs or ordering them on what to do or not to do.

• The U.S.'s plot was to create and empower takfiri groups like ISIS, meant to send Muslim countries into a state of internal wars so that nations would forget about the Zionist regime. We managed to nullify that plot.

• Of issues regarding the region Middle East, the U.S. will, undoubtedly, fail to achieve its goals, and we will accomplish our intentions.

​​​​​​​​​​​
New Year's slogan for 1397 is “Support for Iranian Products”. If national production is accelerated, many problems will be resolved. I have chosen this as the center of this year’s slogan.

The country's resistance and accomplishments in confronting the major political, financial, military, security and cultural invasion by the U.S. and Zionism is due to the faith and piety of the vast majority of people and the youth.

There is a youthful, hardworking, and vibrant movement in the country which has consolidated my belief in a better future for Iran more than ever.
