Supreme Leader: US pinned down in West Asia

TEHRAN (FNA)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei underlined that the Islamic Revolution has foiled the arrogant powers' plots against the region, adding that the US has now been grounded in the West Asia region.

"The Islamic Revolution was a strong quake shaking the arrogance system's pillars, and the bullying power have failed to attain their main objective that is rule over the region, thanks to the revolutionary Islam and the Islamic Revolution, and the US has practically been pinned down in the West Asia region," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing the mosque prayers leaders (Imams) of Tehran province on Sunday.

Meantime, he warned of complicated and various methods used by enemies to influence Iran culturally, and said, "If the Iranian nation didnt have faith in Islam and was not loyal to it, Iran would go under the umbrella (influence) of the US and other countries like others and this is the reason for their (the US and its allies') deep and endless hostility towards people's faith."

In relevant remarks in June, Ayatollah Khamenei rapped the US officials for their continued threats and excessive demands from Iran even after the July nuclear deal, and said Tehran is standing firm against Washington's plots in West Asia.

"The Americans, including the administration, the Congress and the presidential candidates, continue raising excessive demands and threats, and their positions and threats in the current period of time is like the period before the (nuclear) agreement and we shouldnt keep silent against this arrogance," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing the Iranian legislators.

He warned of the US and its allies' plots against the region, and said, "The enemy has drawn plans for the important and sensitive region of West Asia and is attempting to foil the Islamic Republic's policies which are preventing the implementation of its plots."

Ayatollah Khamenei said that the presence of a big Muslim population and existence of giant oil resources, waterways and the Zionist regime in the region make the region important to the enemies, and said, "Their plot against the region is the same New and Great Middle-East plan that they had several years ago."

He underlined failure of the US plots in the region, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon and Palestine due to the resistance shown by the Islamic Republic, and said, "We should stand against these hegemonic policies and unveil the true face of the arrogant powers."
