Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has said that the conflict between his country and Western powers is not on the nuclear program but opposition to Iranian plans on the international order.
He framed the confrontation as resistance to an “unjust global order and the system of domination.”
The problem between Iran and Western powers “is not the nuclear issue,” but opposition to Iran’s plan to establish a different order, Khamenei said in a message issued Saturday to the annual meeting of Islamic student associations in Europe.
“The heavy assault of the US army and its disgraceful appendage in the region was defeated by the initiative, courage and sacrifice of Iran’s young people,” Khamenei said in a reference to recent regional conflicts.
He also stressed that the killing of a number of scientists, generals, and Iranian civilians has not been able to and nor will it be able to stop the "brave Iranian youth."
“The families of those martyrs are themselves among the pioneers of the movement,” he said.
