Tehran, YJC. In his first public speech in the new year, the Supreme Leader said that if Israel is to do what he threatens to do, Tel Aviv and Haifa will be razed to the ground.
In his speeches he made before thousands of audiences in the
holy shrine of Imam Reza, the Supreme Leader defined the country’s main
domestic and international policies.
The Supreme Leader pointed to recent threats by Israel regarding
military attacks on Iran and stated "If Israel is to make a mistake, the Islamic
republic of Iran will raze Tel Aviv and Haifa to the ground.”
He also provided comments on US claiming the "global
community” to be in opposition to Iran and said "US officials always use the incorrect
phrase ‘international community’ for the few enemies of the Iranian nation, whereas
the international community never intends enmity with the Iranian and the Islamic
Iran.”
The Supreme Leader also addressed the source of conspiracy
in the collective mind of the Iranian and said "The center for conspiracy against
the Iranian nation is the US. Today after 34 years, whenever the name of US is
mentioned the nation is instantly reminded of the US.”
On the prospects for mutual talks with the US, the Supreme
Leader said "It has been a while that the US officials say in different ways
that they are willing to hold separate negotiations with Iran on the nuclear
issue, but based on previous experiences I am not optimistic about such
negotiations.”
He also said that such talks are not intended to reach at
some solution, but to exert pressure on Iran, adding "However, I have no
disagreement with the talks.”
