🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, regarding nuclear industry “The Americans’ main demand is that Iran should not have a nuclear industry at all. They want us to be dependent on them—for radiopharmaceuticals, for energy, for desalination technology, and for a 100 other critical fields. They want Iran to have no nuclear... industry whatsoever. We’ve trained 1000s of scientists and researchers in Iran. Today, we have 1000s of young, skilled individuals in nuclear and related fields—trained in just the past few years. Are we supposed to disappoint all of them? Leave them unemployed? Make them lose hope in their country’s future? That’s exactly what the Americans want. That’s what they are demanding. And the arrogant and disrespectful American leaders repeat this demand in different ways, again and again.show more

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, on the occasion of the passing anniversary of Imam Khomeini: “I would also like to say a word to Islamic governments: Today, Islamic governments have a heavy responsibility. I want to speak frankly to them—today is not the time for politeness, hesitation, or neutrality. Today is not the day to remain silent.”

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei: “If any gov among the Islamic states, in any form or under any pretext, supports the Zionist regime—whether through normalization of relations, blocking aid to Palestine, or justifying the Zionists’ crimes—they should know with certainty that an eternal mark of disgrace will remain on their forehead. Of course, there is also the matter of the Hereafter—Judgment Day and divine punishment—which will be severe and heavy, and they will not be able to answer before God. But it’s not just about the afterlife. Even in this world, nations will never forget such betrayal. Governments must understand that relying on the Zionist regime will never bring security to any state. They cannot achieve security through dependence on the Zionist regime, because this regime—by the decisive decree of God—is in a state of collapse, and by God’s will, it will not endure.”

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei: “I want to say something abt the shocking crimes of the Zionist regime in Gaza. Truly shocking. It’s hard to believe that they could carry out such horrific plans. At first, they would drop a bomb, destroy a house or two, and maybe 10 or 15 people would be martyred. But then they decided that wasn’t enough. So what did they do? They set up a center labeled as a food aid distribution site, knowing that since food isn’t entering Gaza, people would rush there to get food. Then, with machine guns, they killed ten times more people than they could with bombs. Killing people had become too costly for them, so they made it cheaper—using bullets instead of bombs. It’s truly astonishing. These crimes leave a person stunned—how low, wicked, cruel, and evil can a human being be to do such things? Of course, the US is also complicit in these crimes. Its hands are stained with this blood too. And that’s exactly why we’ve said—repeatedly and insistently—that the US must leave this region.

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, regarding Iran “Iran has succeeded in achieving a complete nuclear fuel cycle, thanks to our scientists. Today, we are capable of producing nuclear fuel from the beginning stages all the way to powering nuclear reactors. In the world, the number of countries that possess this capability is fewer than the fingers on two hands [thus less than 10]. The Iranian nation has achieved this. Let me make one point clear: the nuclear industry is not just about energy. Some people think it’s only about generating clean electricity—which, of course, it is. It provides clean and inexpensive energy, and that is one of its benefits. But it’s not limited to that. This is just one part of what the nuclear industry offers. The nuclear industry is a foundational industry—a mother industry. Experts, scientists, and professionals have explained this to us, and I hope it will be explained more widely to the public. Many scientific fields are influenced by the nuclear industry, including advanced and sensitive technologies like medical equipment, aerospace, and precision sensors and electronics. These are all connected to or impacted by nuclear technology. It also affects core sciences and engineering disciplines such as nuclear physics, energy engineering, and materials engineering. Moreover, the medical and pharmaceutical applications—both in diagnosis and treatment—are deeply influenced by nuclear science. In fact, in treating certain serious illnesses, the nuclear industry plays a leading role.

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, regarding Uranium enrichment “Now, in the nuclear industry, there is one key point that functions like the master key: Uranium enrichment. Our enemies have fixated on this enrichment—they’ve put their finger exactly on this. A vast nuclear industry, without the ability to enrich uranium, is essentially useless. Why? Because for our power plants, we’d have to stretch out our hand and ask others for fuel. It’s like having oil in your country but being forbidden from building refineries or producing gasoline—you have crude oil, but you have to buy gasoline from someone else. And that country might sell it to you at whatever price they wish—or they might just refuse altogether, making up an excuse. That’s how they behave. Even if we had 100 nuclear reactors, without enrichment, they’d be useless—because nuclear power plants require fuel. If we can’t produce that fuel ourselves, we’d have to go begging to the US, and they might set dozens of conditions just to give us fuel. We already experienced this in the 2000s, when we needed 20% enriched uranium. The US president at the time sent 2 heads of state—so-called friends—to act as intermediaries and told us: ‘Give us part of your 3.5% enriched uranium, and we’ll give you the 20% fuel you need.’ Our officials agreed, and an exchange was planned. I said the exchange must be done like this: They bring the 20% enriched fuel to Bandar Abbas, we test it to ensure it’s genuine, and then we hand over the 3.5% in return. When they saw that we were serious and insistent on inspecting the 20% fuel first, they backed out of the deal and broke their promise. Meanwhile, amid all this political back-and-forth, our scientists produced the 20% enriched uranium domestically, right here inside this country.”

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, regarding our enemies not being able to do sh*t when it comes to Iran’s nuclear industry “They are against progress. They are against Iran’s advancement. They are against the Iranian nation’s self-sufficiency. I’m saying these things so that our dear people can be somewhat informed about the issue—though, of course, more explanation is needed. Our response to the loud, reckless American government’s nonsense is clear. Years ago, one of the US presidents said, ‘If I could, I would dismantle every nut and bolt of Iran’s nuclear industry.’ But he admitted he couldn’t. Since then, the nuts and bolts of our nuclear industry have become even stronger. He himself confessed, ‘I can’t do it—if I could, I would have.’ And those currently in power—the Zionists and Americans—should also know: they can’t do anything about this either. They are powerless in this matter. Before we even get into these explanations, the first thing we say to the Americans and others when it comes to the nuclear issue is this: Who even are you to interfere? Why should you decide whether Iran is allowed to enrich uranium or not? What’s your [damn] business? You have nuclear capabilities. You have atomic bombs. You possess devastating weapons. So what right do you have to question whether the Iranian nation should have nuclear enrichment or not, or a nuclear industry or not? This is a nation. It has the right to decide its own future. It has nothing to do with you. Who are you to make such demands? What legal authority do you have to make these statements? — This is our position, and that’s our stance on the nuclear issue.”

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei: “Right now, in the recent nuclear talks, the proposal presented by the Americans is 100% against our ‘We Can’ doctrine/policy/moto.”

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei: “Independence means that the Iranian nation should make its own decisions and not wait for the green / red lights of the US and its likes. A headline of national independence is the principle of "We can”.

🇮🇷| Imam Khamenei, regarding US hostility against Iran since the start “Sanctions, the Tabas operation—which ended in that well-known, miraculous failure—or the US downing of Iran’s passenger plane, and similar incidents began from the very start of the revolution, and have continued to this day. In terms of variety, intensity, and sheer maliciousness, I believe no other revolution in modern history has faced such a range of hostile plots and conspiracies. In other revolutions, maybe terrorist groups acted independently—but that wasn’t the case in Iran. These plots and schemes were carried out directly by the arrogant world powers—mainly the US and the Zionist regime—and by well-known intelligence agencies such as the CIA, MI-6 (UK), and Mossad. Their goal was to weaken the Islamic Republic. But not only did it not weaken, it grew stronger by the day—its capabilities and power expanded, not only domestically but also abroad. And right here, I want to say to the Iranian people and to all those who care about Iran: From here on as well, with God’s help, we will continue to strengthen our comprehensive national power as much as we can, God willing.
