Enemies on war footing against Iran on various fronts: Leader
Tehran (KNA) - Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has warned that enemies have been on a war footing against Iran on various fronts, calling on the nation to stand ready to fully confront them.
Ayatollah Khamenei was addressing a large group of teachers on the eve of National Teachers' Day in Tehran on Wednesday.
The enemies, the Leader added, have been in a "war-like posture" and engaged in acts of aggression against Iran in different areas, including in politics, economy and intelligence.
Ayatollah Khamenei said the enemies do not appear to be in battle array militarily, adding, "Still, their armed forces are keeping an eye on us."
In the face of such a war-like posture, all ranks of Iranian people and elite should similarly be on a war footing against the enemies and stand up to them, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
"The US and Zionism (Israel) have been plotting and acting [against Iran] in all spheres. Such conduct is, of course, not peculiar to the current US administration. The previous administrations used to take similar measures albeit in velvet gloves," the Leader said.
