Leader Debunks US’ Fake Support for Iranians
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lashed out at the American officials for their hypocritical and brazen expression of support for the Iranian people, saying the conflict between Iran and the US dates back to 1953, when Americans plotted a coup in Iran.
Two days before the 13th of Aban (4th of November), which marks the National Day of Students and also the National Day of Fighting against Global Imperialism in Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei met with a number of Iranian students from across the country in the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah of Tehran on Wednesday.
“The 13th of Aban (November 4th ) is a day that manifests the reality that the US is completely vulnerable. This day is both a manifestation of the evil of the US and a manifestation of its being struck and defeated. November 4th is a historic day to study and learn from these experiences,” the Leader said in the meeting.
“In its propaganda, the US says the overtaking of the Spy Den (US embassy) was the start of the conflict between the Iranian nation and the US. They lie. The conflicts between Iran and the US started with the 1953 coup. Why did you overthrow a national government elected by popular vote?” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.
“The US today is the same US of August 19, 1953, but with 2 key differences. First, the ways it shows its hostility have become more complicated. Second, the US was the dominant power at the time of the 1953 coup. It is not today. The US's power is diminishing little by little,” the Leader stated.
“One can see a trace of the US in most of the events that take place against Iran. Then they claim they care about the Iranian nation! You have imposed the most severe sanctions - the like of which they admit have never been imposed on any nation in history - against Iran,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“The world is approaching a new order in which the US will be isolated and Asia will rise to power,” the Leader underlined.
“The signs of the US’s decline are obvious. They have economic, social, and moral problems inside the US. There are discords and bloody divisions. These are their domestic problems. And there are their miscalculations in global affairs,” Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
