Seyed Ali Khamenei, leader of Iran’s Islamic revolution, expressed his stand to counter the US’ hostile act in a large-scale mass rally held in Tehran on February 1.

It is nothing new at all that the US is arguing for war, deploying fighters and warships around Iran, he said, stressing that the Iranian people are neither afraid of nor swayed by the US’ threat.

Iran has no intention of starting a war or attacking any country, but will resolutely counter hostile forces’ attack and pressure, he stated.

Earlier, on January 31, the commander-in-chief of the Iranian army said that the armed forces of Iran are closely watching the enemy’s moves in the region, in complete defence and military readiness and warned that if the US makes a mistake, the security of not only the US but also Israel and the entire Near East will become perilous.
