Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei launches a diatribe against the United States and implores Iranians to remain steadfast as the country’s economy is battered by American sanctions.

In a tweet, Khamenei says though “US’s animosity increases on a daily basis, so does Iranian nation’s hatred for US.”

“Enemies of Iran represent enmity against nation’s dignity, independence, progress & elevation. Foes won’t give up mischief as long as they can but surely their mischief won’t bear any results,” he adds.

While acknowledging the cost “resistance” has taken on Iranians, Khamenei says surrendering is even dearer.

“#Resistance may have a price but it also has great feats that are worth 100 times the price nations pay. Yet, surrendering to arrogant & vicious enemy brings about nothing but the trampling, humiliation & loss of identity of a nation,” Khamenei says.

“Surrender has a higher price than resistance.”
