The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution described the US \u201cthe evillest enemy of the Iranian nation,\u201d saying the offer by the United States to help Iran fight the coronavirus outbreak is strange.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n
RNA \u2013 The Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, has described the US \u201cthe evillest enemy of the Iranian nation,\u201d saying the offer by the United States to help Iran fight the coronavirus outbreak is strange, according to Press TV.<\/p>\n

\u201cToday, we have no less of enemies but the evillest enemy of the Iranian nation is America,\u201d the Leader said in a televised address on Sunday.<\/p>\n

US officials have refused to lift draconian sanctions which are hampering Iran\u2019s efforts to contain the coronavirus. They have instead claimed readiness to aid Iranians, with President Donald Trump saying \u201call they have to do is ask.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iranian authorities have dismissed the offer as hypocritical, saying it makes no sense when Washington keeps on imposing new sanctions which have made Iran\u2019s access to food, medicine and other humanitarian supplies impossible.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei called US officials deceitful, saying they were lying as he touched on speculations that the United States has manufactured the extremely contagious disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Americans have said several times that \u2018we are ready to help with treatment and medicine; just ask us and we will help.\u2019 This is one of the weirdest things which they tell us to ask them,\u201d the Leader said.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirstly, you have a shortage yourself and this is what American officials say. Secondly, you are accused of producing the virus. I do not know how true this accusation is, but when such an accusation is made, which wise person will ask for your help?\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei said, \u201cAmerican officials are mendacious, deceitful, shameless and greedy. They are all kinds of charlatans who speak like charlatans. They are cruel, merciless, and terrorist.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the Leader, \u201cpart of this virus is said to have been made for Iran by using genetic backgrounds which they have collected from Iranians, which of course is part of their hostility.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iran is the most-affected country in the Middle East with over 1,500 coronavirus deaths and 20,610 infected people.<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei called on Iranians to follow the instructions of the national headquarters tasked with fighting the coronavirus as he expressed confidence in the country\u2019s ability to contain the disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur 40-year experience shows that the country has the capacity to deal with problems and challenges at any level,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The disease is also set to take a toll on the economy, the Leader said, calling for the same patience which Iranians have shown against their enemies since the Islamic Revolution of 1979.<\/p>\n

\u201cBeing patient means not to surrender. It means to confront the enemy with bravery and wisdom,\u201d Ayatollah Khamenei said.<\/p>\n

The Leader further praised the Iranian nation for remaining steadfast through all the turbulence and storm. He said one should not be surprised by the hostility to Iran, adding enemies work together against the Islamic Revolution.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can say with certainty that the Iranian nation is a patient nation. We officials, of course, have been impatient at times, but the Iranian people have been patient for 40 years.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ayatollah Khamenei urged officials to use the country\u2019s capacities, including its young population, to solve problems.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
