U.S. aggression against Iran would have global repercussions: Leader

tehrantimes: Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei warned on Wednesday that any U.S. aggression against Iran would inflict damage on the interests of the United States in every possible part of the world.

"The Iranian nation will not launch an offensive against anyone, but it will respond to any strike with double the force," he told a gathering of workers in Tehran.

The Leader stated that Iran pursues peace and calm and is making progress with confidence.

"Since the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the great nation of Iran has proven its abilities in various fields, achieving progress, honor, and experience, and this is what has enraged and baffled the enemy," he said.

Over the past 27 years, the U.S. has been continuously threatening Iran, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out.

"The language of U.S. officials is the language of threats and intimidation, but the aware and determined nation of Iran as well as the government, which relies on popular support, will pay no heed to these threats," he stressed.

The Leader stated that making efforts to help develop the country is the best and most important way to resist the enemies.

He said that the enemies have lost hope about the possibility of using a military option against Iran and now plan to create discord among the people.

"Anyone working anywhere in the vast nation of Iran should try to perform his/her duties with greater vigilance, seriousness, order, and faith in order to frustrate the hopes of the enemy," he advised. Link
