The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Grand Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that major political developments will take place in the region.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that Iran has overcome all the pressures exerted by the world arrogance over Iranian nuclear program.

He said that gracious events are underway in several states of the Middle East which are the outcome of resistance of the Iranian nation to the bullying powers.

The Supreme leader made his remarks in a meeting with senior commanders of the armed forces.

“The auspicious movement which has begun in the region today is partly the results of the Iranian nation's resistance, and more developments will take place in the region in future,” the Leader further told the military top brass.
