US wants to strip Iran of weapons, Khamenei's representative says

The United States wants to take away Iran’s weapons, nuclear energy, and revolution, the Supreme Leader’s representative in Mazandaran province said on Thursday.

“America is still the Great Satan and wants to take away our weapons, nuclear energy, scientists, the Islamic Republic, and the revolution,” Mohammad Bagher Mohammadi Laeini said.

“Those who think about compromise with America are miserable and do not know that its cost is far heavier,” he added.

Some in Iran wrongly believe the cost of confrontation with America is too high, Laeini said.
