The Supreme Leader who was giving a speech on the occasion of the 1978 uprising of the people of Tabriz, said that the world is becoming increasingly reliant on nuclear energy every day and Iran, too, will be in urgent need of peaceful nuclear energy sooner or later.
“If we do not think about this today, tomorrow will be too late and our hands will be empty then,” he underlined.
Ayatollah Khamenei said: “They know Iran’s nuclear program is peaceful. But they make absurd, senseless claims on how close Iran is to making a bomb.”
“We seek peaceful use of nuclear energy. They know this, but they want the Iranian nation to face difficulties when it needs nuclear energy in the future,” the Supreme Leader noted.
“Regarding the JCPOA in the years 2015-2016, my criticism was that certain points had to be observed in the JCPOA so that problems would not arise in the future,” the Leader pointed out, adding: “Well, some of these points were not heeded and later problems emerged, which everyone is witnessing.”
“There are two tools in the hands of the enemy for separating the people from the establishment and changing people’s way of thinking and thoughts: economic hostility and media hostility,” the Supreme Leader continued, noting: “The youth should stand against these. The Iranian Nation should stand against these two actions.”
“In the field of diplomacy,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted, “our good, revolutionary brothers are working for the sanctions to be lifted and to convince the other side to do so.”
“That’s good, but more important is nullifying sanctions via domestic production, economic dynamism and use of a knowledge-based economy,” the Supreme Leader emphasized.
He also said: “The Revolution’s slogan is resisting the Arrogant Powers. We thank God the Iranian nation has been blessed by this resistance. This resistance has affected the region. Today, the grandeur of the Arrogant Front has been broken in the region and nations speak out against the US.”
