Iranian Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, affirmed that the Iranian people have shown a high level of vigilance in confronting what he described as 'American incompetence,' which has become clearly evident recently. Khamenei clarified that the Islamic Republic is currently experiencing what he called the 'third war,' indicating that this confrontation is a result of the despair of external powers regarding the possibility of mobilizing the Iranian street or inciting internal protests that serve their agendas.
The Iranian leader emphasized in his statements that the strategic goal of the enemies is to try to control the country's resources and work to fragment and divide it. He added that the Iranian internal front possesses strength and breadth that exceeds the adversaries' perceptions, calling for national solidarity to thwart these schemes that target the state's entity and its political and geographical unity.
Regarding regional relations, Khamenei categorically denied that the recent attacks targeting territories in Turkey and the Sultanate of Oman originated from Iranian armed forces. He affirmed that Tehran's consistent policy is based on respecting the sovereignty of neighboring countries and not harming their security, emphasizing a firm belief in the importance of strengthening diplomatic and security ties with Iran's geographical surroundings.
Domestically, the Supreme Leader called on local media to be wary of being drawn into hostile media narratives that aim to undermine national unity. He urged journalistic institutions to avoid excessive focus on weaknesses that adversaries might exploit, considering that the media battle is no less important than other confrontations in preserving the country's stability.
On the economic front, Khamenei announced that the government is currently formulating a comprehensive remedial plan aimed at extricating the economy from its current crises and improving citizens' living conditions. He raised the slogan 'Resistance Economy in the Shadow of National Unity' as the title for the next phase, considering self-reliance as the only way to confront continuous external pressures.
These moves come at a time when the Iranian economy is suffering from severe challenges, with inflation rates exceeding 50 percent, along with a significant rise in the prices of basic goods and fuel. This crisis is exacerbated by strict American sanctions targeting the energy sector and oil exports, which has led to a sharp decline in the value of the local currency and a shortage of foreign exchange reserves.
It is worth noting that these statements come amid an atmosphere of escalating regional tension, especially after a series of airstrikes carried out by the United States and Israel against Iranian targets. Through these positions, Tehran seeks to affirm the steadfastness of its military and political stance, while trying to contain the economic and social repercussions of the international pressures imposed on it.
The front line in Iran is much larger than the enemy's mentality and perceptions, and we are committed to not harming neighboring countries.
