Iran’s new supreme leader says country’s defense stronger than ‘enemies’ assume

Iran’s new supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei said Friday that the country’s front lines are far stronger than its “enemies” assume, accusing them of miscalculating Iran’s internal strength, Anadolu reports. In a written message marking the start of the Persian New Year (Nowruz), Khamenei said the war began after the enemy lost hope of triggering a popular uprising inside Iran. He said adversaries believed assassinating top leaders and military figures would create fear and despair among the population and lead to the collapse of the political system. Khamenei, however, said Iranians formed what he described as a “vast defense line” across the country, frustrating those plans.
