Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei dismissed on Wednesday US plans for the Islamic Republic’s nuclear industry, stressing that Tehran will maintain its uranium enrichment activities.
In a televised address on the 36th anniversary of the passing of the founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Sayyed Rouhullah Mousawi Khomeini, Imam Khamenei said the US proposals for Iran’s nuclear issue “totally contradicts the ‘We Can’ doctrine.”
“The first word of the US is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry and should rely on the United States. Our response to the US’ nonsense is clear: they cannot do a damn thing in this matter.”

US media reports said Tuesday the Trump administration is proposing an arrangement that would permit “limited low-level uranium enrichment on Iranian soil for a to-be-determined period of time.”
Commenting on such report, Imam Khamenei stressed that uranium enrichment “is the key to the nuclear issue, and the enemies have also put their fingers on enrichment.”
Imam Khamenei said Iran has achieved a complete nuclear fuel cycle with great efforts, adding the nuclear industry is not just for energy.
“The nuclear industry is a parent industry. Numerous scientific fields are affected by the nuclear industry,” he addressed crowds at the mausoleum of Imam Khomeini in southern Tehran.
Imam Khomeini Great Leader
Meanwhile, Imam Khamenei said Iran, with a growing, stable and authoritative political system born of a great revolution under the leadership of Imam Khomeini, surprised the Western world.
“The leader of our revolution is a great man whose presence in the world is still tangible after thirty-odd years since his passing, and the impact of his revolution is clearly visible to people around the world,” his imminence said.
“The sharp decline in America’s position in the world is due to his presence, and hatred of Zionists is due to his revolution,” he added.
Imam Khamenei touched on “a movement towards aversion to Western values” in the world, saying it is rooted in the revolution created by Imam Khomeini.
“The Islamic Revolution of Iran surprised the Western world. They did not think that a single cleric, without equipment and financial resources, could lead a nation into battle,” his eminence added.
