Khamenei’s Statement

Ayatollah Khamenei firmly rejected Biden’s claims, stating:

Khamenei emphasized that these miscalculations led to the downfall of Iran’s adversaries:


Historical Context

  1. The Iran-Iraq War (1980–1988):

    • Saddam Hussein launched an invasion of Iran in 1980, thinking the post-revolutionary nation was vulnerable. However, Iran endured and prevented territorial losses in the prolonged war.
  2. U.S. Support for Saddam:

    • During the war, the U.S. under President Ronald Reagan provided substantial military and financial support to Saddam Hussein, believing it could weaken Iran.

Khamenei uses these examples to demonstrate that Iran’s strength has historically been underestimated, often to the detriment of its adversaries.


Current Context

Biden’s comment about Iran’s "weakness" comes amid intensifying sanctions, international pressure, and domestic protests. However, Khamenei insists that the Islamic Republic will continue to grow stronger despite external challenges.


Khamenei’s Prediction

The Ayatollah expressed his confidence in Iran’s ability to overcome its challenges, stating:

This reflects the leadership’s determination to maintain resilience and project strength in the face of ongoing adversity.
