Imam Khamenei: Get Ready for Enrichment up to 190,000SWU, We’ll Struck Enemies 10 Times Harder
Local Editor
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei ordered the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran [AEOI] to make preparations for enrichment of uranium up to a level of 190,000SWU without any delay.
"It seems from what they say that some European governments expect the Iranian nation to both put up with sanctions and give up its nuclear activities and continue to observe limitations [on its nuclear program]. I tell those governments that this bad dream will never come true," Imam Khamenei said.
Stressing that the Iranian nation and government cannot tolerate to be both sanctioned and be put in the "nuclear custody," His Eminence ordered the AEOI to take rapid steps to make preparations for starting uranium enrichment "up to a level of 190,000SWU for the time being within the framework of the JCPOA" and take other preliminary steps that the president has ordered from tomorrow.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader stated that all measures taken by enemies against the Islamic Republic were the result of their desperation and confusion in the face of the Islamic establishment.
Enemy's measures against the Islamic Republic show how desperate they are in their face-off with Iran rather than being a sign of their power, The Leader said.
He further stated that the measures taken by enemies of the Iranian nation may slow down the forward march of the nation, but cannot stop its progress.
"Imam never felt weak, nor showed weakness in the face of enemies, but always stood against them with power," the Leader said adding that "when dealing with enemies' plots, Imam Khomeini never gave in to pure sentiments, but made his moves through well-calculated plans.
Imam Khamenei further noted that in dealing with enemies, the Islamic Republic of Iran gives priority to domestic potentialities and capabilities of the nation and has absolutely no trust in the enemy."
"We are well aware of the enemy's plot and disclose it to people," he stressed, mentioning economic, psychological and practical pressures as three major components of enemy's plot against the Iranian nation.
The main goal they seek through economic pressure and sanctions is not just to mount pressure on the Iranian government, but is to make the Iranian nation disillusioned with the Islamic establishment, the Leader said, adding that with God's assistance and through efforts made by officials and people, the enemy will never achieve this goal.
Imam Khamenei stated that one of the psychological measures taken by enemies against the Iranian nation is to turn its strengths into challenges in order to strip the nation of those strengths.
The Leader added that when Iran needed enriched uranium for medical purposes, enemies put all kinds of obstacles in the way of the nation to prevent it from achieving nuclear technology. However, the Leader said, Iranian youths managed to master this technology despite enemies' efforts.
Referring to Iran's support for oppressed people of the world, especially the people of Palestine, Imam Khamenei stressed that supporting the oppressed is a source of credit for Iran in the world and the country will continue to back oppressed nations and resistance forces in region and support integrity of regional countries.
"As for enemies' practical pressures on Iran," the Leader added that "the main step taken by enemies in this regard is to stoke unrest by exploiting peaceful protests and gatherings that people may hold to give voice to their demands, stressing that Iranian people must remain vigilant in the face of enemies."
