Iran Leader says enemies seek to sow divisions

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has underlined the need for national unity, saying the enemies are bent on sowing divisions and fueling mistrust among people as part of their malign designs against the country.

“Among our essential needs at the moment is national unity. National unity acts as a bulwark and formidable barrier against enemies.

We need to double down on the promotion of national unity,” the Leader told a group of Iranian Air Force commanders and personnel in Tehran.

Ayatollah Khamenei underscored that a vibrant revolution is one that can protect itself against potential harm, noting that the Islamic Revolution has thwarted major threats and continues to tread down the path of advancement and improvement.

He said the enemies are hell-bent on bringing Iran’s Islamic establishment to its knees by means of creating discord and mistrust in the society.

“Even though US statesmen have frequently declared that they are not after regime change in Iran, they continue to draw up plans on how to topple the Islamic establishment when they meet up in private political circles,” Ali Khamenei said.

“One reason for such animosity is that the Islamic Republic has cut off the US’ hands from an important, strategic and profit-making region with rich mineral and human resources.

Every year on February 8, Iranian Air Force commanders and personnel meet the Iranian Leader.
