Leaderof Islamic Ummah and Oppressed S. Khamanei: As Iran Makes Progress West Realizes Futility of Its Sanctions

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei praised the scienteific achievements of the Islamic Republic, stressing that such progress forces the West to realize the ineffectiveness of its sanctions.

During a visit to MAPNA Industrial Complex in Fardis city in Alborz province on Wednesday, Imam Khamenei said: “The more we make progress in every field, the more the other side will understand the futility of its sanctions.”

MAPNA is Iran’s Power Plant Projects Management Company, which was was founded in 1993 with the aim of developing indigenous knowledge production capacity for petroleum facilities, power plants and other industrial facilities, and as a contract management company.Leader Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei

The Supreme Leader reminded that when Iran needed 20-percent enriched uranium to fuel Tehran University Research Reactor to produce radioisotopes for patients and it was ready to purchase it, the world’s bullying powers headed by the US created problems through different tricks and refrained from supplying the fuel.

And when Iran came to decide to produce the 20-percent enriched uranium, the West did not believe that the young Iranian scientists could achieve this technology only through their talent, initiatives, and good management, his eminence added, according to Fars News Agency.

They did not even believe that Iran could produce fuel rods and plates, but Iran succeeded to do so, leader said, referring to Western states.

“And now all the world powers state that they are ready to sell it (enriched uranium) to Iran” in order to get Tehran to stop its nuclear fuel production.

The Supreme Leader underlined that the “world is in trouble because of the games and bad-temperedness of the world powers”, and said that “the irrational behaviors of the world bullying powers against the Islamic Republic of Iran depend on Iran’s weakness or strength”.

“Whenever we stand up on our own feet and we become strong, they are forced to behave politely and rationally,” Ayatollah Khamenei said, and concluded, “Paying heed to this very reality is the key to all the problems of the country.”
