‘US will regret any anti-Iran move’

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei warns the US and its allies against any unwise action against Tehran, stressing that such a move would receive a strong response from Iran.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei was referring to Washington’s accusations regarding Iran’s alleged involvement in a plot to assassinate Saudi Arabian Ambassador Adel al-Jubeir, with help from a suspected member of a Mexican drug cartel.

“If US authorities are harboring certain fantasies they should know that inappropriate moves, whether political or security in nature, will receive a decisive response from the Iranian nation,” The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei said in an address to thousands of students and academics in the western city of Kermanshah.

The Supreme Leader said that the US had created the recent hype to overshadow the spread of the Occupy Wall Street protests in its cities.

“The people of at least 80 countries have supported this advancing movement, and this is very bitter and difficult for US authorities,” IRNA reported on Sunday.

The Supreme Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei also touched upon US efforts to crackdown on the protests, saying, “They (the US administration) might suppress the movement with [the aid of] police forces and the army, but it will not be over.”

The Supreme Leader said the real source of the problems of Western nations is the submission of Western leaders to zionism.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei said the day that Western nations realize this Zionist influence, “the flames of their wrath will scorch the arrogant [powers’] capitalism and turn it to ash.”
