RNA - Speaking to reporters in a rally to mark the anniversary of the 1979 Islamic Revolution here in Tehran on Friday, Salehi pointed to recent warmongering rhetoric and remarks made by the new US administration against the Islamic Republic and said the Iranian nation cannot be threatened.
“The (massive) presence indicates that the government, people, the leadership and the establishment are going hand in hand,” he noted.
“The Iranian nation has proved that they are standing up and resisting against the enemies,” the nuclear chief added.
