U.S., Reactionary Regimes Behind Regional Turmoil

Ayatollah Khamenei:
TEHRAN (Kayhan) – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday the United States and reactionary regimes are stoking unrest in Lebanon and Iraq, calling on the people of the two Arab nations to pursue their legitimate demands within the framework of law.
"The U.S. and Western intelligence services, with the financial backing of reactionary countries in the region, are spreading turmoil," Ayatollah Khamenei told graduating army cadets here.
The Leader said the biggest damage that enemies can inflict on a country is to deprive them of security, just as "they have started to do so today in some countries in the region”.
"I recommend those who care in Iraq and Lebanon remedy the insecurity and turmoil created in their countries by the U.S., the Zionist regime, some Western countries, and the money of some reactionary countries.”
Ayatollah Khamenei said people have justifiable demands, but they should know their demands can only be fulfilled within the legal structure and framework.
"When the legal structure is disrupted in a country, no action can be carried out,” he said.
Ayatollah Khamenei made a reference to peaceful protests at home in 2018 which were later hijacked by seditious elements.
"The enemies had the plots for our dear country, but fortunately the people came out in time and the armed forces were ready and that plot was neutralized," Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader advised the Iranian nation and armed forces against putting their trust in the enemy, and asked them to constantly monitor all the enemy's moves.
The armed forces should also be careful about the serious threat of "sedition” and stand prepared to confront it, he added.
 Ayatollah Khamenei further touched on the defeats of the occupying regime of Israel vis-à-vis the Islamic resistance.
"Who imagined the Zionist regime which could not be defeated by three Arab countries in six days would be forced to retreat in the face of the devout youth during the 33-day Lebanon war and the 22-day Gaza war? Stay assured that God fulfills His promises,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
The "great march of return” in the occupied Gaza Strip, the Leader said, will lead to the return of the Palestinians one day, and the true owners of the land will return to it.
"Despite their heavy expenses, the arrogant powers have been defeated so far. They have admitted themselves that they spent $7 trillion but didn’t gain anything,” in the Middle East, the Leader said in apparent reference to U.S. President Donald Trump’s recent remarks.
