Speaking on the anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini’s death, the Supreme Leader has attacked the US for inflicting violence and deprivation across the world.
Our external challenge is troubles caused by global #arrogance. Let talk frankly; troubles caused by the US.

Ayatollah Khameini said the US divides the world into three categories. First, there are the “obedient” countries, whom it can control but not without costs.
Then there are those whom it “tolerates”, like the nations of the European Union:
2nd category r countries #US tolerates due2 common interests but if it finds the chance,it'll stab dagger into their hearts,eg EU countries.

Trying to split Europe from Washington, Khamenei continued:
My understanding of the political issues is that it's a big strategic mistake by European countries to serve the US. #US will betray them.

Finally, there are the “disobedient” countries who “do not surrender” to the US and who must be vanquished or overthrown:
Military attack is no more a #US priority; they found that they lost in #Iraq and #Afghanistan so they seek coup & colored revolution.

If a govt comes into power with 60% votes, #US selects agents fr the remaining 40% & makes them take to the streets to overthrow govts.

Pursuing these coups, the US also supports “terrorist groups” and tries to “discourage people’s hearts and thoughts from the foundations of their faith/beliefs by use of propaganda”.
The Supreme Leader said that even the emerging enemy of “takfiris” (Muslim heretics), causing conflict in countries like Syria, is the creation of the West:
We believe takfiris r not main enemies,but deceived by not-so-hidden hands of western intelligence services that set Muslims agnst 1another.
