Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with thousands of Iranian people in Tehran, the capital of Iran, on Saturday on the occasion of Eid al-Mab’ath, the anniversary of the appointment of Muhammad (PBUH) as the last and greatest prophet of God.

The Leader expounded on the nature and instruments of the recent unrest in Iran and the duties of Iranians in the face of plots.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the president of the United States is deemed to be criminal for inflicting damage and casualties on and making accusations against the Iranian nation.

“Since the beginning of the Islamic Revolution, the US has tried to restore its previous dominance in Iran,” he added, noting that the US throughout all these years during different administrations has been unwilling to tolerate an independent country like Iran.

Ayatollah Khamenei further noted that, during the previous seditions, Washington brought to the scene its media figures, while this time, the US president decided to get in himself tp instigate the seditionists (rioters).

He continued to say that the Iranian nation will not hold to account the internal and international accomplices for having a hand in the recent sedition.

The Leader further stressed the necessity of keeping united in defense of the Islamic Republic and the dear country of Iran.
