Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underscored on Saturday that the "enemy's" military strategy for the Middle East region failed as it was based on "deception, distorting the truth, telling lies, tempting, humiliating nations, and making nations pessimistic about their abilities."
Speaking to the public that gathered in Tehran for the first sermon of the Eid al-Fitr prayer, the Ayatollah insisted that the enemy "tries to make people fight with each other over different opinions and tastes, but people’s different views," which "should not become a source of discord and conflict." He urged the nation to "nullify the enemy’s temptations to make them pessimistic toward each other and toward the officials while coexisting with kindness."
"The intelligent and capable nation of Iran, which until today has defeated all the plots of its enemies, will continue to dishearten and frustrate them with the power of divine grace," he concluded.
