Supreme Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei on Monday warned against any divisive moves.
`Any body trying to divide the nation and officials and cause differences, is in fact doing against the interests of the country and the nation,` said Ayatollah Khamenei in an address to a large group of people in Kazeroun on the fifth day of his tour of the southern province of Fars.
The Supreme Leader said the government and nation, while maintaining their unity, should join hands to develop the country and turn it into an Islamic model country in all dimensions.
The requisite for attaining this goal is that people and officials feel responsibility, preserve unity and have good intention towards each other, he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei noted that over the past 30 years after the triumph of the 1979 Islamic Revolution, the Iranian people, especially the youth, have been trying to materialize their aspirations and this has disappointed their enemies.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei said the Iranian nation can and will, by the grace of God, overcome the enemies, while continuing the path towards progress and development.
He said the US administration, which is the standard bearer of arrogance, has come across many problems and difficulties, the most important of which are its problems with Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon.
He also referred to growing opposition of people to the US and to the presence of occupation troops in Iraq and said, `The opposition to and hatred of the US have reached such an alarming level that the Republican presidential candidate is now telling people the same reality that we have already announced.
The main goal of the US in occupying Iraq is to dominate the country`s oil resources and those of the region.
` The Supreme Leader said that despite their failure, the big powers are still speaking with others with the language of threat so as to terrify them.
`The Iranian nation is aware of such a tactic and has not fear of the threats of the US and other big powers.
It will not get scared,` Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Supreme Leader advised the nation not to be influenced by enemy threats, maintain their vigilance and rely on their innate potential.
Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the nation is present on all scenes and the officials are ready to serve the nation.
The only way to attain prosperity and progress is to rely on Islam, the Supreme Leader said.
