Khamenei Delivers Fiery Message, Without Hint of Compromise, to Obama Administration
(Los Angeles Times) Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, delivered a fiery speech Wednesday, saying his nation "will never back down from its positions and it could by no means be intimidated by threats." He said Iran opposed not just U.S. ambitions in the region but the entire American-dominated global system. "They utter lies against Iran over its nuclear programs, human rights record and democracy because the Iranian nation is steadfast and firm," he said. "The real belligerent is the U.S. The U.S. has turned the Persian Gulf into an arms depot, launched invasions against Iraq and Afghanistan and is now throwing its gauntlet at Pakistan." "It is natural for the Islamic Republic to face opposition by several arrogant governments, led by Zionist companies."
