Supreme Leader Censures Bush's Recent Statements [View All]

Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei lashed out at US President George W. Bush for his recent remarks, describing his words as arrogant utterances of a person who imagines to be the owner of Muslim countries.

"This Person (Bush) speaks as if he were the master and owner of Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Iran and other Muslim states, but if the huge power of nations comes to the scene -- as it happened in Lebanon, it will smash the arrogant powers so badly that the enemies of Islam will no longer be able to continue with their rude and arrogant behavior," Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Noting continued loyalty of the Iranian nation and officials to the Islamic values, the Leader reminded that Iranians view the said values as a cause of national pride, might and progress, adding, "The Iranian nation stands against the enemies who seek to rock the boat and stop our country through propaganda, political hues and cries and economic pressures, and our nation, God willing, will conquer the highest tops of progress at a speed much higher than what is normal."

"And this growing spirit of Islamic vigilance has been the big gift of the Iranian nation's revolution to the world of Islam," Ayatollah Khamenei reminded, adding that the said gift has now turned into a widespread phenomenon worldwide.
