Ayatollah Khamenei slams US military threats against Iran

The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has condemned US threats against Iran, highlighting the need for military preparedness. Ayatollah Khamenei said the other side shamelessly keeps making military threats against Iran and at the same time expects the country not to possess defense capabilities. In a meeting with senior army commanders in Tehran, the leader noted that even without the threats, Iran needs to be prepared. The leader said Iran has proven that it acts strongly in defending itself against any aggression. Ayatollah Khamenei’s comments come a few days after the US top military commander General Martin Dempsey said military options are still on the table in dealing with Iran. The leader said the US is trying to portray Iran as a threat by spreading myths about nuclear weapons, whereas America itself poses the real threat, by interfering in other countries' affairs without any limit. Ayatollah Khamenei also denounced Washington's support for the ongoing Saudi war on Yemen.
