Iran’s show of national might disappoints enemies: Ayatollah Khamenei

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says Iranians should put their national strength on display to discourage enemies from carrying out any act of aggression against the country.

On Monday, Ayatollah Khamenei pointed to the eight-year war imposed by the former Iraqi regime on Iran in 1980s, saying the enemy dared to wage war against Iran when it saw weak points in the nation back then.

“If you seek to dissuade enemies from any act of aggression, never show weakness and demonstrate your power,” Ayatollah Khamenei advised.

The Leader further warned of enemy attempts to launch a “cultural war” against the Iranian nation.

“Enemies are making efforts and hatching plots in their think tanks on how to transform the nation’s culture,” said Ayatollah Khamenei, emphasizing that “a cultural invasion is even more dangerous than military threats.”
