Anti-Iran scenario doomed to failure - FM
Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has reassured the country's youths that they will see the "demise" of the Islamic Republic's enemies.
He made the assuring statement during a meeting with students. "You young people should be assured that you will witness the demise of the enemies of humanity, meaning the degenerate American civilisation, and the demise of Israel", he said.
'There is no stalemate for the Iranian nation,' the spokesman said.
Iran's relations with both United states and state of Israel have long been strained, but President Trump recently intensified pressures on Tehran, tightening economic sanctions against it and deploying additional troops and equipment to the Middle East region, sparking concerns of a possible all out war and military conflict.
At the same time, relations between Israel and Iran have long been strained, with the latter denying the Jewish state the right to exist. For its part, Tel Aviv has vowed to do everything in its power to prevent Iran from obtaining advanced weaponry, including nuclear arms. Israel has also repeatedly attacked targets in neighbouring Syria, claiming it is targeting Iranian proxies and troops, but Tehran denies having such personnel in the Arab Republic.

Also in the same manner, Foreign Ministry Spokesman Seyyed Abbas Mousavi pointed to the 'psycho-propaganda' scenario launched against Iran, and said that this scenario is pre-maturely defeated and will definitely go nowhere.
According to the Foreign Ministry Spokesman Mousavi, the Persian relies on its people and is an independent and sovereign country, adding that Iran makes decisions based on its national interests and security.

Supreme Leader didn't elaborate further on the ways in which Iran plans to achieve this goal. This is not the first time Tehran has vowed to eliminate the Jewish state and threaten the US. However, in Khamenei’s most recent statement he said that the Iranian people do not seek war with Washington, but will resist US pressure until it is "forced into retreat".
His comments came in response to Trump's warnings that if Iran decides to attack the US or its interests in the region it will be the "official end" of the Islamic Republic. Tehran slammed his statements as "genocidal taunts" and "economic terrorism.
The US has recently been building up its military presence in the Middle East region, reportedly sending a regiment of B-52 bombers there, additional Patriot air defence systems and an aircraft carrier strike group. The move sparked concerns about a possible eruption of hostilities between the two.

However, the acting US Defence Secretary stated yesterday again before the US congress members that US is not seeking war with Iran at the moment.
Relations between the US and Iran went into a downward spiral after Washington unilaterally withdrew from Iran nuclear deal and resumed the regime of economic sanctions against the Islamic Republic. The US sanctions pressure on Iran's oil industry intensified in May after the US ceased waivers to some countries, importing oil from the sanctioned state.

The Islamic Republic of Iran will never be caught in the dilemma of choosing between war and negotiations or any other dilemmas. The Iranians have proved over the course of the history that they are men of negotiations and are also men of combat whenever necessary, Mousavi said.
