Enemies cannot stop Iran’s progress: Ayatollah Khamenei
Tehran (KNA) - Leader of the Islamic Revolution said, over the past years, the enemies have consistently conducted any hostile measure against the country but have failed, stressing that they will never achieve their goal to block the nation's path toward development.
"The US, Europe and even the former Soviet Union have tried every means in the past 40 years [to subdue Iran], but they have failed," Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday in a meeting with President Hassan Rouhani and his cabinet.
The Leader pointed to the country's developments in the past years in political, defensive and economic spheres, saying, "The enemy cannot do a damn thing, and the next 40 years will be better for us, and worse for the enemies."
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution referred to the 6 years of the current administration in power and maintained "The remaining two years from the government's mandate is not a short time; the country's important issues must be prioritized and priorities must be followed up on without being held back by blights."
Ayatollah Khamenei counted "economy" and "culture" as the two major priorities of the country and stressed that the current problems affect lower and middle classes, the key solution to which is boosting domestic production. "Finding and using this key to unlock economic gridlocks is of course not easy, however, it needs to be attended."
