TEHRAN - It is “by no means acceptable” that the value of foreign currency keep rising constantly against the national currency rial, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei warned on Friday.
However, the Leader said, according to reports that he has received there is more “security and political reasons” behind this issue rather than economic ones.
In a live televised speech starting at 11:30 local time on the occasion of Eid al-Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice, the Leader stressed that the U.S. dream to stop the Iranian nation's progress will never come true.
Ayatollah Khamenei said circles in the U.S. have admitted failure to achieve goals through maximum pressure on Iran.
The Leader added, “The U.S. has always sought to weaken Iranians’ morale since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution.”
“The bulk of population of Iran not impressed by enemies’ propaganda,” Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized.
Noting that the Iranian economy has become resilient in the face of sanctions, the Leader said, “The Iranians have turned U.S. brutal sanctions into an opportunity to gain self-sufficiency. Today Iran is capable of domestically producing parts sanctioned by the U.S.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution noted that the U.S. sanctions are ostensibly against the Islamic Republic, but in reality, they are against the Iranian nation and are “crimes”.
