Leader of Islamic Ummah Imam Khamenei: Iran must dictate might to US in Persian Gulf

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says Iran must show off its military power to the US in the Persian Gulf waters.

“The Persian Gulf coast and much of the coasts of the Sea of Oman belong to this powerful [Iranian] nation, therefore we have to be present in this region, [stage] maneuvers and show off our power,” the Leader said on Monday addressing a group of teachers.

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei rebuffed the US government’s demands that Iran should not hold military drills in the Persian Gulf.

“It is the Americans who should explain why they have come here from that corner of the world to mount exercises,” the Supreme Leader said.

“This is how bullying powers must be countered,” added Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khameneinoted that the enemy will have to “back down” in the face of the strength of the Iranian nation.

“But when we hesitate and refrain from showing off the principles and elements of our power to the enemy or if we are scared, the enemy will grow brazen,” said Supreme Leader.

The Leader also said some governments in the Middle East are implementing the US schemes for the region without getting any quid pro quo.

Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the US, Zionist capitalists and some arrogant governments are the manifestation of “international system of dominance” that is seeking to sway the future generations of countries in its own favor.
