tabriz, e. azarbaijan prov., july 30, irna -- leader of the Islamic revolution
ayatollah ali khamenei here thursday condemned attempts by the enemies of Islam to put
iran under pressure. ""the young, immature person who has come to power in the

with economic bottlenecks. ""but, he (clinton) does not know that even his
colleagues from the republicans could not do a damn thing,"" the leader stated
in his address to a gathering of provincial authorities. ayatollah khamenei referred to
the refusal of western countries to sell weapons to iran during the 1980-88 iraq-iran war
and said even the former soviet union refrained from selling barbed wires with an excuse
that it would possibly be used for military purposes.
"under such circumstances when all joined hands to deprive iran of purchasing a
single bullet, we obtained sophisticated weapons from within the same countries. even
today, we are also capable of obtaining our required goods from everywhere we
wish,"" he stressed. pointing to the disappointment of enemies of Islam in
encountering the iranian nation, the leader said, ""if we employ our initiative
and creativity to influence the events, the enemy cannot do anything, just as
collaboration of east and west failed over the past 14 years." ..the leader is
currently touring east azarbaijan province.

country for Islam and Islamic ideals, the supreme leader said every country which enjoys
such sentiments and emotions can stand to the biggest powers of the world and prevent
their domination. ""therefore,"" the ayatollah said, ""our
enemies who threaten the iranian nation should know that they are in error...it seems that
the mistakes made by the great politicians of the world account for most of the blows they
are suffering."" tens of thousands of people from hashtroud and its suburbs had

lebanon. addressing the provincial armed forces in the second day of his visit to this
northwestern province, the leader said that the arrogant powers are using their huge
arsenals to suppress the nations, Muslims and the Islamic sentiments. in the contemporary

martyrdom and wounding of some of those oppressed people and in the demolition of many
houses and buildings,"" the leader said. ""the silence of
international observers on the barbaric behavior of such a racist and usurper regime, and
of its supporters who falsely claim to be avdocates of human rights but are actually
silent and even encourage such inhuman acts should bring all those who pin their hopes on
u.s. leaders and other supporters of israel to solve their problems, to their
senses,"" the leader said. ""Muslims themselves should defend their
rights in a manly manner,"" the leader of the Islamic revolution made it clear.

Tehran, july 14, irna -- leader of the Islamic revolution ayatollah ali khamenei on
wednesday held big powers' moral corruption, hypocrisy and equivocation responsible for
the massacre of a Muslim nation at the heart of europe. "while the savage, racist and
fascist serbs are dealing blows on innocent bosnian people, world powers are fooling the
world public opinion through rhetoric. this stems from their corrupt nature," the
leader told a visiting group of people. ayatollah khamenei said the arrogant nature of the
u.s. administration emanated from its moral corruption, adding that the way americans were
treating other nations proved that they lacked human qualities such as love for mankind
and fairness. "the u.s. administration which has resorted to all vicious and satanic
means to put pressure on the Islamic republic of iran is itself an immoral system,"
the supreme leader said. washington's hostility against the Islamic republic and the
outrageous cheap talks of new faces in the u.s. administration about iran indicate the
fact that by disclosing their real nature, the ruling clique in washington is
inexperienced, simple-minded and politically immature, he said. elsewhere in his speech,
the leader of the Islamic revolution said that the 'death to america' slogan now echoes
throughout the country. "the naivety and immaturity of american statesmen reveal the
fact that they have not yet realized that satanic actions against iran will produce
nothing but further disgrace for the u.s. officials," the ayatollah made it clear.
ayatollah khamenei expressed confidence that the white house will be defeated in its
confrontation with the Islamic republic and vowed "as we have learned from the
revolution and the late imam, we will vigorously continue treading the path of
Islam." the supreme leader said the 8-year iraqi imposed war and all sorts of
pressure put on iran by the baathist regime, backed by washington, and the former soviet
union served to enhance the dignity and resistance of the iranian people.
