Speaking on Friday to a very large crowd of worshipers, Ayatollah Movahhedi Kermani added: "Islam has a lot of enemies but the country is not concerned about the malicious conspiracies waged by enemies against the Islamic Republic of Iran, rather, the noble nation of Islamic Iran, under its wise leadership, has managed to foil all enemy plots".
Tehran's Interim Friday Prayers leader went on to say: "We declare to the arrogant world powers and superpowers that the Iranian people have stood firmly in their position and will staunchly defend the country with all means at their disposal, and with all their might."
In concluding remarks, Ayatollah Movahhedi Kermani called on the noble nation of Islamic Iran to be united at all times, and to practice friendship among themselves in order to overcome common difficulties.
