Nobakht said here on Friday, “In the last 40 years following the victory of the Islamic Revolution, there has been not a single day that enemies did not make any problem for us.”
Today, the US president cries out and claims that he wants to bring the Iranian people to their knees. But he is unaware that the most powerful states were not able to do anything in the last 40 years and, in principle, because of this, they sat down with us at the negotiating table, he added.
The official said that today Iran is stronger than 40 years ago.
“Today, the Basij (Volunteer forces), the Army and the Islamic Revolution Guardians Corps (IRGC) are at the height of their power; the country is scientifically ranked 15th in the world, and the country's economy is one of the 18 major economies in the world,” he said.
He added that to achieve a decisive victory, the element of obedience to leadership, empathy, and great efforts are necessary.
A few months ago, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei called on the Iranian government not to wait for the European states to implement their proposed package to settle the economic problems in the country.
"You should follow tasks in a serious way within the laws of the country. You should not wait for anything or anyone. One day, we made the economy of the country dependent on the JCPOA (the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action). The JCPOA failed to eliminate our economic problems and to help us in a noticeable way.
The result was that the people became conditional towards the JCPOA so much so that when that dude (Donald Trump) announced that he wanted to get out of the deal, we experienced turbulences in our market. This has continued since he has declared so. Consequently, we have become conditional. We have conditioned the people to this situation, too," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with Iranian cabinet members in Tehran.
In mid-February, Ayatollah Khamenei, in a highly important statement issued on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, underlined that the coalitions and meetings the US leads against Iran will not yield any results.
