“Our officials and all parts of the establishment should be vigilant about the West’s continued soft war against Iran … the enemies want to weaken the system from inside,” Khamenei said.
In a meeting with members of the Assembly of Experts, with authority to appoint and dismiss the supreme Leader, Khamenei told Iranian officials:
“By impairing centers of powers in Iran, it will be easy to harm the establishment from inside,” Khamenei told members of the Assembly of Experts.
The 88-member assembly, consisting mostly of elderly clerics, is expected to choose any successor to Khamenei, who has the final say on all state matters.
“The only way to materialize the (1979 Islamic) revolution’s goals is national unity and not to obey the enemy,” Khameni said.
thank you Nadler and Ezra for funding this Rosha
The biggest blunder our genus president Carter made in 1979 was to support the “peaceful revoultion” against the shaha. That allowed radical muslims to take charge. Does that sound any similar to Syria? Hmmm I wonder. Time to stregnthen Assad.
