12 September 2023; MEMO: Iran’s Supreme Leader accused the US on Monday of forming “a crisis group” tasked with creating crises and incitement in Iran, Al-Mayadeen has reported.
“This American crisis group has realised that sectarian and national differences and the women’s issue are the most important points around which incitement can take place,” Ali Khamenei told a crowd of Iranians who came to visit him from the provinces of Sistan and Baluchestan and South Khorasan. “The enemies are serious in their hostility and plans against Iran, but we are also very serious in confronting them.”
According to Khamenei, the US plans come at a time when “the forces of global arrogance have weakened and new regional and global powers have risen.” This, he insisted, is “the basic line of transformation in the world.”
In earlier remarks, the Iranian leader pointed out that, “The Iranian people have become more powerful in confronting the front of arrogance and Zionism.” Young Iranians, he said, must pay attention to the fact that the “enmity of arrogance” with the Iranian people will not end. “The Americans have placed Iran in the axis of evil, and their goal is to return Iran to before the revolution and make it dependent [on the West].”
