Khamenei: Iran must look inward to address economy
In today's Iran media review, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei said the country must look at domestic solutions to address its economic woes.
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said today the country would never retreat in the face of new sanctions.
During a video speech delivered to a military university, Khamenei addressed the new US sanctions and the maximum pressure strategy, saying, “We will not ignore the role of the malicious Americans and their sanctions on the economy, which are certainly criminal.” He added that Iran will make them regret their maximum pressure.
In response to US President Donald Trump boasting about the damage US sanctions have done to Iran’s economy, Khamenei said, “Taking pride in such crimes can only come from such a scoundrel as yourself.” He continued, saying that sanctions would be an “avenue to create a real economic resistance.”
Economic resistance is an idea pushed by Khamenei that promotes independence and self-sufficiency economically and in domestic production.
