Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the world is in transition toward a “new political, economic and social structure and geometry,” which involves a balance in power.


“The direction of the future world developments is … toward the transfer of the general powers and capabilities of some parts of world nations to other parts,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted in a meeting with academics and researchers on Sunday.

Ayatollah Khamenei said the sweeping wave of Islamic Awakening across the region and the failure of the West, led by the US, to dominate West Asia are two signs of the coming new world order.

“America’s unsuccessful leap for dominating this important and sensitive region, which became evident in the cases of Iraq and Afghanistan, is one of the other signs of the deep changes that the world is facing.”

“Europe’s status quo, which will finally bring it down, stems not from tactical or strategic errors but from a fundamental flaw in worldview,” the Leader added.


Ayatollah Khamenei said the decline of the US is the fourth sign, indicating that the world is witnessing a transition into a new state.

“As a leading power in wealth, science as well as military and non-military technology, the US had a very good public image among the nations; however, today, this country not only does not have that credit, but has turned into the symbol for bullying, oppression, interference in other nations' affairs and warmongering.”


Ayatollah Khamenei added that the Iranian nation plays a very important and sensitive role in this transitional phase.

“Contrary to the infertile West, the Islamic Republic has new and wave-inducing suggestions for the human community in various political, administrative, ethical, cultural, social and economic spheres,” the Leader said.


“Iran, its elites and officials resist the Western threats, warmongering, assassinations, mass killing, and divisive [policies] and this reality has conferred a special prominence on this country.”

"He's a religious leader not a dictator"

- QUESTION: what kind of religious leader appoints the president, other government leaders, military leaders, and the top judges, AND is the sole person responsible for issuing declarations of war and other military mobilizations AND has a huge islamic army force devoted to domestic control and surveillance?
ANSWER: a theocratic military dictator



"he does not believe in nuclear weapons. That's a real leader."

- just because he's pragmatic (in public) does not make him any less of a dictator in practice...besides, you don't know what he really believes...he doesn't have to worry about telling big fat whoppers in iran because he controls the state media too, and any citizen who suggests the supreme leader is a liar is entitled to free room and board in a prison:
