The leader of the Islamic Revolution, referring to the recent sedition and riot that caused public distress and inflicted damage on the country, characterized the nature of this sedition, which was quelled by the "nation, competent officials, and skilled personnel," as American.
Explaining the principal objective of the Americans in their various plots, he stated, "The enduring goal and policy of the U.S., not only of its current president, is to devour Iran and restore its military, political, and economic dominance over our country; because a nation of this expanse, population, capabilities, and scientific and technological advancements, located in such an important geographical location, is intolerable to them."
Ayatollah Khamenei noted that the level of intervention by Western officials in previous seditions and unrests was usually limited to media elements and second-tier politicians, adding: "However, the distinctive feature of this recent sedition [and plot] was that the US President personally intervened in it, spoke, made threats, and by encouraging the rioters, sent them the message to move forward, to not be afraid, and that they [the US] would provide them with military support."
The Leader described the statements of the US President, who referred to the destructive rioters and murderers as the Iranian nation, as a great slander against the people, stating, "The US President openly encouraged the rioters, and behind the scenes, the US and the Zionist regime provided them with assistance; therefore, we consider the US President a criminal, both for the casualties and damage, and for the slander he leveled against the Iranian nation."
In explaining the nature of the field agents involved in the sedition, the Leader stated, "The active agents on the scene fell into two categories. The first category were those meticulously selected by the intelligence agencies of the US and the Zionist regime, who, in addition to receiving substantial funds, were given specialized training. A significant number of these evil and criminal elements have been apprehended thanks to the effective work of our law enforcement and security forces."
