Fearless Leader: US actions, not words order of the day
[Iran Press TV Latest] Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the US administration cannot bring about changes through the expedient of paying lip service. "Creating change and a new image, cannot be gained by paying lip service and mottos, but through practical moves and compensating for US injustice towards the Iranian nation and other nations in the region," Ayatollah Khamenei told a gathering of people, who were marking the 20th death anniversary of the late Founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Ruhollah Khomeini. The Iranian leader's comments in Tehran on Thursday came only hours before the US President Barack Obama's delivered his much anticipated address to the Muslim world from Cairo. "The previous US administration's aggressive measures, military interventions and discriminatory actions painted an ugly picture of the US and Muslim nations deeply hate the US," Iran's leader said. He also put American accusations against Iran's nuclear program in clear perspective. And though he has done this many times in the past, apparently Iran's detractors have not been listening or are playing the old game of the 'West knows best' in circumstances wherein western hegemony is facing an interesting, generally unforeseen and unprecedented mix of global challenges. "The US is trying to block the Iranian nation's legitimate right to use nuclear technology by telling lies and accusing Iran of trying to make nuclear bombs," the leader said. "The Iranian nation and its officials have repeatedly declared that nuclear weapons have no place in Iran's defense system and it has even been declared that using nuclear weapons is an Islamic Haram (religiously forbidden)," Ayatollah Khamenei added.
