Ayatollah Khamenei then pointed to another wrong thought, which Americans and some others are trying to inject into the Iranian society, and said, “In this way of thinking, which is very dangerous, they say, if we reach a compromise with America all the country’s problems will be solved.”

Stressing that there are accurate arguments to prove falsehood, wrongness and the deceitful nature of this allegation and thought, the Leader said, “A major example to prove this thought wrong is the issue of the JCPOA and the way the Americans acted after its conclusion.”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed to his frequent remarks since the beginning of the nuclear talks about the breach of promise and lies told by Americans, and pointed out, “Now, it is not only me, who say that they are reneging on their promise, but the esteemed officials of the country and even negotiators, who endeavored a lot, are talking about America breaching its promise.”

Ayatollah Khamenei then said, “On the sidelines of the recent session of the General Assembly of the United Nations in New York, our country’s foreign minister in a meeting with foreign ministers of the opposite sides , read out a long list of breaches of promise by Americans with regard to the JCPOA, for which of course, they had no answer.”

The Leader said, “This is the reality about America, [however,] still some people say ‘let’s go negotiate and compromise’ with this very America over Syria, the Lebanese Hezbollah, Iraq, Afghanistan, Yemen and even [over] domestic issues of the country.”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution added, “Will a government, which does not lose a moment in showing hostility toward the Iranian nation, solve the country’s problems?”

Ayatollah Khamenei pointed out that the main goal of the United States is to prevent the growth and progress of the Iranian nation, asking, “Will negotiating with this country solve our economic problems?”

The Leader said, “Negotiating with Americans will not solve our problems, because firstly, they are liars, untrustworthy, deceiving, and stabbers in the back and, secondly, America is itself in crisis and how a crisis-hit country can solve problems of another country?”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution then highlighted admissions by important international centers and even Americans themselves to the existence of economic, political, international and ethical crises in the United States, saying, “At present, America’s debt is approximately the same as the country’s gross domestic product and according to global indices, this is a sign of crisis.”
Ayatollah Khamenei asked, “Could such a crisis-hit country be trying to solve Iran’s economic problems? Or is it just seeking to take advantage of Iran’s resources and wealth in order to get itself rid of crisis?”

Explaining the political crisis afflicting the United States, the Leader said, “Today, in any spot of the world, the first slogan by any nation, which rises up against a dictatorial government or establishment, is ‘Death to America’. Can any crisis be graver than this?”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution then pointed to the United States’ plan for creating the Greater Middle East with the Zionist regime of Israel being the axis, during the 33-day war launched by [Israel] on Lebanon and noted, “Today, the situation of Americans is such that they have been stalled in cases of Syria, Iraq, Lebanon, Yemen and North Africa. Isn’t this situation a [full-fledged] crisis?”
Ayatollah Khamenei described the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran in the region as the opposite of the United States and noted, “Through the Grace of God, the Iranian nation withstood [all] problems due to its bravery, insight and steadfastness and is now a brilliant countenance in the West Asia region and the Persian Gulf region.”

The Leader mentioned ethical crisis as one of the other problems faced by the American society, especially the country’s politicians and statesmen, and added, “The remarks made by these two American presidential election candidates during recent weeks about immoral issues, which are probably not in vain, are enough to disgrace America .”

While severely criticizing the effort made to promote the wrong proposition that “the resolution of the country’s problems depends on compromise with America,” the Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized, “Negotiating with America will not only fail to solve problems, but will [even] also add to them.”

Ayatollah Khamenei then added, “We must solve problems on our own and through reliance on capabilities and the young force inside .”

The Leader described the youth as hopes of the Iranian nation and those who will build the country’s future and run it in the not-so-far future, and while addressing the youth, said, “My dear ones, the resolution of the country’s problems depends on putting [your] trust in the Almighty God and gushing out of determination and steadfastness from among the nation, firm resolve, steadfastness, insight, strong self-confidence and the promotion of the revolutionary spirit.”
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution pointed out, “The revolutionary spirit means being brave in action and steps , using innovation to get out of deadlock, not being sacred by the enemy and not giving in to it, [and] keeping hope in the future and faith in the divine promise.”

Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said, “Unfortunately, instead of promoting the revolutionary spirit, some people talk and manage in a way that makes the young generation distrustful of the future and the revolution and takes them away from Imam’s path, and then these very people complain about our times.

The Leader added, “We make the times and if you think these are bad times, [then] we must review the way we acted, which makes us think that it is bad times.”

The Leader noted, “When we do not take our steps firmly, do not act upon the recommendations of the dear Imam [Khomeini] in his last will and testament, and push people and the youth toward immorality in the name of spreading freedom, and encourage compromise and submission in the face of the enemy in the name of [promoting] a rational view , there is no doubt that the times will be bad.”
Pointing to a hadith from Hadhrat Ali Amir al-Mo’menin (PBUH), the Leader of the Islamic Revolution said, “That Honorable One blamed the collapse of some [people’s] hearts, who were once on the right and straight path on getting contaminated with worldly desires and misplaced kindness, ambition, nepotism, and factionalism.”

Ayatollah Khamenei recommended the youth to obtain increasing insight and while addressing them said, “Beware to accept not every word from every speaker and what is the basis and the important [principle] is the revolution and the path of [our] beloved Imam [Khomeini, and] you must regard his word as the final say.”

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution concluded his remarks by saying, “If the honorable Imam was among us today, he would still raise the same Abrahamic, idol-shattering call ofhis, which paved the way for the awakening of the nation.”
