Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei: Some US officials claim insanity, but are ‘first class idiots’

Addressing the people of Qom Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, “on December 31, 1977, the US president came to Tehran, and had a spectacular speech, falsely admiring Muhammad-Reza Shah. In this speech, he said Iran was the island of stability, which meant the US had no worries with respect to the submissive regime in Iran. Barely ten days after this speech, the people of Qom rose up against the dependent regime and fought with no fear of death. Then, the people of Tabriz rose up and caused a great movement, and the following movements put an end to the dependent regime.”

He added, “this is how the US estimates the situations; the Americans are proud of their calculative analysis and foresight. Here also some individuals who are under the influence of the West boast about the power of the US. Also, an American official recently said in a gathering with some terrorists and ruffians that he hoped he would celebrate the 2019 Christmas in Tehran. The 2019 Christmas was some days ago. Some American politicians pretend to be insane, which I do not agree of course; however, they are first-class fools.”
