Without piety, one's heart cannot realize the truth: Imam Khamenei

U.S. approval of human rights observance in medieval Saudi Arabia is a scandal

They speak against Africa, against various races of people, against Latin America, against all peoples, against Muslims, and against everything and everyone.

In Quran, an "avowed enemy" corrupts Earth by wasting water

There is another verse in Quran about the “avowed enemy,” that is, the most obstinate, the most ominous, and the most stubborn of enemies, whose characteristics have been enumerated. One of their characteristics is that when they find power on Earth they foster corruption and kill people and products.

We will negotiate with the U.S. only when we want to show up in the U.S.: Imam Khamenei

The seditious and corruption-generating US government asks, "Why are you present in the region?" Well, if we are present in our region, must we ask for your permission? In order to be present in the region, we negotiate with regional governments [native to the region]. Why should we negotiate with you [US]? Whenever we decide to show up in the US, we will negotiate with you.
