Iran’s Ayatollah: ‘The U.S. Is, in the Real Sense of the Word, the Main Evil Enemy’

The Supreme Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Thursday that the United States is, “in the real sense of the word,” the number one enemy of the Islamic Republic.

“The US is, in the real sense of the word, the main evil enemy,” Khamenei said while speaking to a group of Iranian students ahead of the November 4 ceremonies marking the “National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance,” according to Iran’s state-run Press TV. “This reality stems from true understanding of issues and the facts on the ground, not from prejudice and pessimism,” he claimed.

President Trump has repeatedly called the Iran nuclear agreement (or Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action), which was embraced by former President Barack Obama, “the worst deal ever negotiated.”

“As you witnessed recently, the head of US administration said the Iranian nation is a ‘terrorist nation,'” Khamenei reportedly said, referring back to President Donald Trump authorizing the Treasury Department to list Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) — known as Sepah-e Pasdaran-e Enqelab-e Eslami in Persian — as a terrorist organization.
