The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei warns Israel of thunder if the Zionist entity attacks the Islamic Republic, stressing that talks about an Iranian atomic danger is based on a lie.

If the Israelis "make any misstep or wrong action, it will fall on their heads like thunder," Khamenei said in a speech marking the 1989 departure of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeini.

Allegations that Iran was trying to develop atomic bombs were false, his eminence added.
"International political circles and media talk about the danger of a nuclear Iran, that a nuclear Iran is dangerous. I say that they lie. They are deceiving," Imam Khamenei said.

"What they are afraid of -- and should be afraid of -- is not a nuclear but an Islamic Iran."

"They invoke the term 'nuclear weapons' based on a lie. They magnify and highlight the issue in their propaganda based on a lie. Their goal is to divert minds and public opinion from the (economic) events that are happening in the US and Europe," the Leader added.

Imam Khamenei also called the stance by the United States and its Western allies "crazy".
"The Iranian people have proved they can progress without the United States, and while being an enemy of the United States," his eminence said.
