Imam Khamenei: Saudis’ Defeat Will Be Harder Than the War They Waged On Yemen

Local Editor

Leader of the Islamic Revolution His Eminence Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei received a group of families of martyrs of the Sacred Defense and defenders of the holy shrines in Tehran on Wednesday.

It is the spirit and faith of devout, revolutionary youth that helps us be as strong as mountains in the face of problems. Some representatives of the revolution left the path they had taken and the revolution also lost some of its devotees; the same happened in the early years of Islam, the Imam stressed.

The Imam appreciated the sacrifices made by the young martyrs and addressed their families as saying: Your young sons saved the country and prevented the Front of Arrogance from dominating over our country as they did during the era of despotism.

His Eminence described the US authorities as indifferent to the lives of the innocent people and only caring about money: “Look at US officials, watch how they are wealth-worshipping, trampling the truth and disregarding humans' lives and properties.”

The Imam further slammed the US’ complicity in Saudi crimes against the Yemeni nation as one example of mayhems perpetrated by it. “Yemen is one example. The Saudis are committing crimes. But the US is their partner in crime. They admit it too. They target hospitals, bazaars, and gatherings of people. They are criminals. This is the face of the US,” he explained.

Imam Khamenei urged the Iranian nation to watch the unmasked face of the US government. “Iranian nation! If you want to know the United States of America., look at the US officials and president. They have clearly revealed the ugly face of the US.”

“The US’ plot against the Iranian nation is exposed; they have no more plots to hit us with; they have done all they could. Its plot is to create problems, conflict and internal war inside our country by means of sanctions and security disturbing measures. They have done their utmost.”

When the US says in 2018 they will do this or that, it could be a deceitful plot. They might want to stir controversy in 2018 while their actual plots are for 2019. You should be completely ready and alerted, the Imam added.

Describing the US as a wicked enemy, united with the Zionists and the reactionary regimes of the region, the Imam stressed that Iran is of course stronger and until now they have been unable to do a thing, and they won't be able to anything in the future.

Relatively, the Imam criticized Muslim states who have established close ties with the arrogant hostile powers. “Today, some in the Muslim world have made friendly pledges to the enemy. The crime that Al-Saud is committing by usurping Yemen will turn out to be detrimental to themselves. It’s been nearly four years since they started to commit atrocities in Yemen; they thought they would overcome Yemen in a few days or a few weeks; but as they advance, their defeat will be harder and the blow that they will receive will be stronger.”

The Imam slammed Saudi rulers for being pitiless to other Muslims: “Those serve as the Custodians of the Two Holy Mosques should be stern to the infidels; yet, they are stern to Yemen, and stern to Bahrain, this will arouse God’s wrath.”

In the face of a storm that is sweeping the world, afflicting this region-- one that has now reached to France-- Iran is on board a safe ship and continues to powerfully sail on this path, thanks to Islam and the Progeny of the Prophet Muhammad [PBUT].

Commenting on statements by US officials who assume Iran is on the verge of defeat, the Imam said: Earlier this year, the US claimed that Iran was to have a hard summer and that the revolution wouldn’t see its fortieth anniversary. To their dismay, this summer was one of the best summers; and the Iranian nation will magnificently celebrate the fortieth anniversary of the revolution on February 11.
