America did not achieve any results in Palestine. It did not achieve any results in Syria. It did not achieve any results in Iraq. The goals that it had in Afghanistan and Pakistan were not achieved. As you see and hear, the Americans' plots in Europe have been foiled as well.
We should know that they could not achieve any results in our dear country either, even after 30 years of effort against the Revolution and our revolutionary people. A sign of this is the presence of the people. Influential figures in the government of America said openly, "We have imposed and reinforced sanctions so that we can draw the people to the streets". They openly said that the purpose of sanctions is to uproot the Revolution and to pit the people against the Islamic Republic.
What was the result? The result was what I pointed out in this meeting. In the year 1392, an election was held whose turnout was very high and in which the people participated in a very active way. And on the 22nd of Bahman, a rally was held which was larger, greater and more enthusiastic than any annual rally in the past.
It is mutual interests which have connected them - the Americans and the Europeans - to one another. Otherwise, deep inside, they are on unfriendly terms. The French nation hates the Americans. In different events such as the issue of Syria, the Americans could not establish a partnership with a government which has the closest relationship with them. That is to say, even the English said that we would not take part in this issue. This is while about 40 governments cooperated with them when they attacked Iraq. When they attacked Afghanistan, about 30 governments cooperated with them. The Americans have such a condition in the present time.
