Affairs of the Persian Gulf should be managed collectively: Leader
BANDAR ABBAS, Feb. 20 (MNA) -- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has said the affairs of the Persian Gulf region can be managed efficiently by the adoption of wise and collective policies that benefit all nations in the region.
The Supreme Leader made the remarks in Bandar Abbas on Friday at a ceremony held to launch the Jamaran, which is Iran’s first domestically designed and manufactured destroyer.
“Today is a sweet, auspicious, and promising day. This major achievement, which is the result of hope and trust in God, will make our young generation more determined, and this hope and determination is more important and sweeter than the construction of this destroyer,” he stated.
He went on to say that identifying the country’s capabilities and finding and appreciating talented people are the foundations of the country’s progress and strength.
Some plans seem to be ambitious at first, but great efforts and faith make seemingly impossible plans possible, the Leader noted.
Ayatollah Khamenei also commented on the Iranian nation’s resistance against the hegemonic powers’ illegitimate demands, saying this resistance is a historical test for the people and a great lesson for future generations.
The hegemonic powers’ failure to overcome the Iranian nation’s resistance has proven that if a nation realizes its identity and relies on God and its capabilities, no power in the world can defeat it, he added.
Commenting on U.S. officials’ recent remarks about Iran, he said these statements show the Iranian nation has made them angry and disappointed.
Their repetitive and nonsensical claims about Iran’s intentions to manufacture nuclear weapons prove that Iran’s enemies are not even capable of using efficient propaganda and are resorting to repetition, he observed.
“We do not believe in nuclear weapons and will not seek to gain access to them,” he emphasized.
On the efforts of the United States and Israel to promote Iranophobia in the region, the Leader stated, “Our neighbors know that these claims are false, and the U.S. and the Zionist regime, by fomenting discord, are trying to divert the Islamic nations’ attention away from the main enemies of Islam, namely the United States and Israel.”
