Iranian Supreme Leader Khamenei Blames Popular Uprising on Iran's Enemies: "All Those Who Oppose the Iranian Regime... Have United"

Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said: "All those who oppose the Iranian regime, with their money, their political clout, their weapons, and their security systems... They have all united in an attempt to cause trouble to the Islamic regime, to the Islamic Republic, to the Islamic Revolution." His statements were broadcast by Iran's Channel 1 on January 2.

Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei: "The enemy is waiting for its opportunity to sneak in. They want to sneak in. Look at what is going on today. All those who oppose the Islamic Republic, with their money, their political clout, their weapons, and their security systems... They have all united in an attempt to cause trouble to the Islamic regime, to the Islamic Republic, to the Islamic Revolution. I have a few things to say about the recent events, and Allah willing, I will share them with the beloved Iranian people at the right time. In other words, the enmity has not changed, but it can be thwarted by the spirit of courage, sacrifice, and faith, which was manifest in the most perfect way in your [martyred] children."
