NCRI – The Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader has once again referred to massive anti-regime uprisings in 2009, describing them as creating an atmosphere of “difficulty and severity,” the state-run Fars news agency reported on Wednesday.
Speaking to a number of regime officials in Esfahan, Ali Khamenei sought to boost morale within his regime’s ranks by saying that the ruling mullahs have successfully gone beyond “last year’s sedition and difficulties.”
The mullahs’ Supreme Leader also expressed worries about what he referred to as the “enemy front” and those who seek to bring down the regime through sanctions, and added, “Everyone must be vigilant about the enemies.”
Khamenei also said the regime’s “enemies hope to create a gulf between the people and officials, as well as dispersing misunderstandings and discussions around specious issues.”
Implicitly dismissing rival factions as “traitors,” Khamenei added, “Those individuals who create a negative picture, pessimism, and divisions, and thus portray an image of the Islamic system desired by foreigners … are in fact doing the bidding of the nation’s enemies. … These acts constitute flagrant acts of treason.”
