The Supreme Leader: Sanctions vain; victories ahead

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei says Western sanctions against the country have proven futile, adding there are more victories on the horizon for the Iranian nation.

Western officials have repeatedly announced that the objective of anti-Iran sanctions is to wear out the Iranian nation and force the authorities of the Islamic Republic to reconsider their political calculations, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Monday.

“But they are mistaken and will never achieve this goal.”

“The Iranian nation has chosen this victorious path with insight and has made great sacrifices and forfeited the blood of its loved ones to tread this path,” the Supreme Leader added.

Referring to the upcoming parliamentary elections, The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said the vote is a manifestation of people’s presence in the political decision making process.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei said Iran’s parliamentary election is also important for other Islamic Nations and that is why the US and its allies are trying to disappoint the Muslim world by disrupting the vote.

The Supreme Leader said hegemonic powers and their pawns have been making efforts to reduce the participation of Iranians in the elections, but the mass turnout of the nation will disappoint the enemy.

The Leader of Islamic Ummah and Oppressed People Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei also warned of the scourge threatening the elections.
