Iran’s supreme leader promises to “slap” US, defeat sanctions

Oct 4, 2018 10:29 am By Robert Spencer

If he does this, it will only be with the aid of the cravenly short-sighted European Union.

“Iran supreme leader promises to ‘slap’ US, defeat sanctions,” Associated Press, October 4, 2018:

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran’s supreme leader says the Islamic Republic will “slap” the United States by defeating new American sanctions targeting the nation.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei made the comments Thursday in a speech in Tehran before thousands of members of the Basij, an all-volunteer force under Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard.

Khamenei says he heard President Donald Trump tell European leaders that the Islamic Republic would collapse in the coming months over American sanctions, something he dismissed. The sanctions have hurt Iran’s already ailing economy and have fueled the depreciation of its rial currency.

Khamenei also warned that media controlled by foreign enemies could be as dangerous as “chemical weapons.”…

Good point, Ali.

    129,000 Iranian Rials for 1 mighty US Dollar. That’s from 42,000 Rials for 1 mighty US Dollar in April, earlier this year.

    That’s not a ‘slap’ for the Iranian economy, it’s a vicious uppercut that’ll put the mad Mullahs on the canvas for the full count!

    Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a five-star clown with a glass jaw!

      Very well put,Buraq .Force is the only language which the Muslims respect.European Union will break one day and it would run to America for protection.Britain made the right move to leave European Union which has turned Europe into Islamic Urabia.

      Best will be to break his[ Khomene’s] neck so that he never threatens to slap America AGAIN which is a GREAT COUNTRY.

        Agreed. Let’s apply the quran teachings to the muslims.

        Quran 8:12
        [Remember] when your Lord inspired to the angels, “I am with you, so strengthen those who have believed. I will cast terror into the hearts of those who disbelieved, so strike [them] upon the necks and strike from them every fingertip.”

    President Trump has done better than Obama did on handling the subject of the dangers posed by the Islamic rogue state of Iran. As seen by those new sanctions against the Islamic tyranny of Iran. It’s therefore very obvious that President Trump has already done much better than Obama. In fact Obama could not have done much worse in the “dealing and negotiations ” with this “mullah regime’ than he did. Furthermore, It’s very obvious that the tyrants in power in this Islamic regime had and have no real or sincere intentions even for the start of keeping any of their promises in a nuclear “agreement deal” with Western nations. As for ,example , a “test firing” of a missile by Iran, In addition , it was reported on CBN on 5/7/16 only two days before this CBN report the Iran not only launched other “test firing” of missile. The “test firing” of that missile and it even had printed on that missile words in Hebrew that read “Israel must be wiped off the map.” There is no logical or valid evidence that the jihad-minded those in control of this Islamic tyranny have , in any way, changed their vicious and destructive intentions in their Islamic agenda against the State of Israel . There were other “test firing of other missiles by earlier this very year by the Islamic tyranny of Iran. This shows the gall and defiance of those mullahs and ayatollahs along those other Muslim villains in power in this tyrannical Islamic regime of Iran their total arrogant contempt for the US and the other Western nations in this so called “deal.” Those Muslim clerics and other Muslim tyrants in power in this cruel and oppressive Islamic tyranny are, in character, reflected in the Bible in Psalm 73:6-9. Which reads, “Therefore pride is their necklace; they clothe themselves with violence. From their callous hearts comes iniquity; the evil conceits of their mind know limits. They scoff and speak with malice; in their arrogance they threaten oppression. Their mouths lay claim to heaven, and their tongues take possession of the earth.” [N.I.V.]

    So soon you forget, eh, “supremo”, about Erdogan’s “Ottoman slap” and how, instead, the Turk Lira tanked.

    “Khamenei also warned that media controlled by foreign enemies could be as dangerous as ‘chemical weapons’….”

    How true and so pervasive that Khamenei cannot keep it out or hide the cruelty and dead weight of his regime. Another revolution is gestating.

    First, the sanctions put upon that tyrannically Islamic regime of Iran by the Trump administration is a very good idea. Especially since those disingenuous and blatantly lying character who make up this “mullah regime “of Iran had and have no intention of keep their part on that hoax of a “Obama /Iran deal.”
    Second about the rouge state of Iran which so falsely and unfittingly has the word “Republic” as part of its offical title The actual word “Republic” has on origin the Latin meaning “Of the people” With the mullahs ayatollahs in so much power and even influencing the parliament of this Islamic regime is tyranny is hardly a real republic .Furthermore the ruthless gang of thugs who are the stooges of those Muslim clerics, called the “Revolutionary Guards,” those Islamic State “police” come down hard on the human rights and freedoms of the Iranian people. Therefore the people do have the right to overthrow a tyranny. This reality had even been expressed and described by men of great intelligence .For example the philosopher .John Locke. This is wisdom that mullahs and other villains in power in that Islamic tyranny don’t want the Iranian people to know about or understand

    The rial is sinking like the Titanic.

    Only a new government and new constitution will restore investor confidence in Iran.
