Mojtaba Khamenei proclaims victory over the “enemy”: “The enemy fell into contradictions and irrational statements”
Iran's new Supreme Leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, said in a message written on the occasion of the Persian New Year on Friday that Iran was not responsible for the recent attacks on Oman and Turkey, AFP and Reuters reported.
“I insist on the fact that the attacks that took place in Turkey and Oman – both of which maintain good relations with us – were in no way committed by the armed forces of the Islamic Republic, nor by other forces from the Resistance Front,” he assured, according to Agerpres.
He proclaimed victory over the enemies of the Islamic Republic, in the same message published by Noruz.
“At this moment, thanks to the special unity that has been created between you, our compatriots, despite religious, intellectual, cultural and political differences, the enemy has been defeated,” said the ayatollah, who has not yet appeared in public after being designated as the successor to his father, Ali Khamenei, who was killed in an airstrike on the first day of the war on February 28.
Mojtaba Khamenei called the new year one of an “economy of resistance under conditions of unity and national security.”
He praised the Iranians for “building a national defensive front and bastions in cities, neighborhoods and mosques and for applying such bewildering blows that the enemy fell into contradictions and irrational statements.”
