The Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, has called on government officials and the general public to be vigilant and aware of enemy plots and schemes.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution met and conferred with President Hassan Rouhani and members of his cabinet on Wednesday morning, emphasizing the importance of the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the 5+1 Group, and said all of us should be vigilant vis-à-vis enemy plans and schemes – since the enemy wants to infiltrate Iran.
In further remarks, the Leader expressed concern about a lack of general awareness and carelessness about the continuing deep-rooted hostilities of the enemies of the Islamic Revolution and the enemies of Iran, urging officials not to do anything which would adversely affect the unity and cohesion of the Iranian people, or anything which would play into the hands of anti-Iran media.
Commenting further, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said Iran should maintain the speed with which it is advancing in the fields of science and technology, and the cultural field should be managed according to the principles of the Islamic Revolution, and according to the principles of the Founder of the Islamic Republic, the late Imam Khomeini (May his soul rest in peace).
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said economic growth and progress should be the country’s top priority. He pointedly added: “Science and technology underpins Iran’s progress, and however much we invest in science and technology, we are really investing in Iran’s future”.
In further remarks, the Leader said: “We should continue with our resistant economy, this is a very important topic, the government should consider a resistant economy when drawing up any sort of plan , and a working group to manage a resistant economy should be set up”.
Turning to the reason for naming the week which coincides with the martyrdom anniversary of former Iranian president, Mohammad Ali Rajaie, and former prime minister, Mohammad Javad Bahonar, as “Government Week”, Ayatollah Khamenei said the reason for this is to keep alive the most prominent characteristics, whether intellectual or personal, of these two beloved martyrs.
In further comments, the Leader praised government efforts to bring down the rate of inflation, and to bring about relative economic stability.
The Leader then congratulated everyone on the auspicious occasion of the birth anniversary of the eighth infallible successor to Prophet Mohammad (PBUH and his progeny), Imam Reza (PBUH).
