Meanwhile, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has delivered a speech to a large gathering of Basij volunteer forces and senior military officials at the 100,000-capacity Azadi sports stadium in the capital, Tehran on Thursday morning.
The Leader addressing a huge crowd of young Basij forces and military personnel on Thursday said: "The power and glory of Islamic Iran, the authority and clout of the Islamic republic, and the invincibility of Islamic Iran are not just mere slogans or hollow slogans, it is an actual reality".
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader said the enemy wants to paint a false picture of Iran, and he went on to warn: "Media as a tool in the hands of the enemy can be a very dangerous thing. As dangerous as chemical weapons."

He poignantly added: "They are using Western media, internet and cyberspace to spread propaganda against the Islamic Republic of Iran. But if the enemy sees we are united and speak with one voice, it will retreat and step back. However, if they sense division within our ranks, they will be emboldened and continue with their anti-Iran efforts."
Turning to the United States, the Leader said Trump's comments about Iran are like those of his predecessors.
The Leader added: "Iran is facing economic hardship, but our economic problems can be solved. The enemies are trying to portray a false image of Iran."
