Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei stressed that all plots set by Tehran’s enemies failed to achieve their goals.

As his eminence received commanders and staff of the Iranian Army Air Force, Imam Khamenei said that the top world powers have opposed the Islamic Republic since its inception, noting however, that they failed to do so.

 “Since the first day of the [1979] Revolution until today, the number one materialistic powers in the world have stood against the Islamic establishment but have failed to make any headway in this regard,” the Leader said, Press TV reported.

Imam Khamenei further urged Iranian officials to remain vigilant at all times against the plots targeting the country.

"Be careful about what lies behind enemy smiles," his eminence said.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader pointed to the upcoming parliamentary and the Assembly of Experts elections and said participating in the February 26 votes is a “duty” for all the Iranians.

Imam Khamenei also called for boosting the country’s economy and said, “If we strengthen the country’s economy from inside, the majority of problems, including unemployment, stagnation and inflation, will be eliminated.”

The Leader said there is a “hostile front” against Iran in economy, culture and social issues, stressing that “whenever enemy cannot continue its hostility, it deals its blows [to our country] in the guise of a friend.”
