Iran not to surrender to sanctions

Tehran, Qodsna - The Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei met with a number of Iranian workers on the occasion of the Labor Week. The Wednesday meeting was held at Imam Khomeini Hosseiniyeh in the Iranian capital city Tehran in the second month of the year “Production Leap with People's Participation.”

As to the global arrogance’s attempt to use sanctions as a tool to put pressure on Iran, the Supreme Leader noted that the Islamic Republic and the great Muslim nation of the country will never succumb to the bullying approach.

The sanctions cannot bring the Iranian nation to its knees because its heart is not tied to help from beyond its borders, the Leader noted, adding, this spirit must be strengthened, and the Iranian nation must demonstrate its strength through work, action, and national unity.

He said that a living nation creates the right opportunity for itself even from the enmity of the enemy, a prominent example of which is in the field of armaments, and that in other areas as well, significant progress has been made under pressure.

Ayatollah Khamenei went on to say that Iranian officials are tasked with explaining the grounds for the contribution of the people to production.

The Leader pointed to role of workers in the year of production leap, stating that worker is the pillar of the production leap, and that the country and the citizens will become wealthy with the leap in production, and workers’ pockets and hands will be filled of money.

Ayatollah Khamenei also referred to the demonstrations of people in support of Palestinians and the raising of Palestinian and Hezbollah flags on the streets of Europe and the US, noting that those who accuse the Islamic Republic of Iran of supporting terrorism on the pretext of supporting the oppressed people of Gaza witness not only the Iranian nation but all nations support Palestine.
