Iran, June 5, 2018 - Iranian regime Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei took to the podium on Monday, marking the death of regime founder Khomeini 29 years ago and citing major concerns over future challenges facing his apparatus.

Referring to the Iranian opposition People's Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), Khamenei insisted this face-off has existed ever since Khomeini’s era and continues to this day.

“Since day one after the [1979] revolution, hypocritic groups have existed, making a stance against our Islamic state and the heritage of [Khomeini]… creating problems for us,” he said.

Hopeless

With the U.S. pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, Khamenei began showing signs of losing hope in Europe, too.

“Today, there are those who insist on imposing a disfigured deal to our country. Foreign governments are looking to have people inside the country promote this idea, warning it is either this or war. No, this is a lie. This propaganda is in favor of the enemy,” he said.

“One day in Tehran’s streets, marking Quds Day in defense of Palestine, we witnessed people chanting ‘Not Gaza, Not Lebanon,’” Khamenei said, acknowledging how the Iranian people oppose his regime’s foreign meddling policies.

Saber-rattling

“The enemy knows if they launch one missile, we’ll launch dozens back. Missiles, producing a variety of missiles and the strength of our missiles will provide security for our country,” he said.

Interesting is how the Fars news agency, associated directly to the Revolutionary Guards, changed the title of its piece covering Khamenei piece too, “If they launch one missile, we’ll launch two.”

In his speech Khamenei also referred to protests held by people from all walks of life across the country, describing this phenomenon as an enemy conspiracy.

Finalizing his remarks, Khamenei spoke in Arabic calling on Arab youths to rise in protests against their governments - another clear sign of Iranian regime meddling.
