RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in ‎Esfahan, Ayatollah Sayyed Yousef Tabatabaeinejad cited some efforts to link the economic ‎problems facing Iran with a lack of communication and compromise with the United States ‎and said, “These people lack insight and want to make us slaves to the West. The people ‎must know that not all of the news published by the media organizations is truthful and ‎correct and this is why the people must try to increase their awareness and insight in order ‎that they aren’t deceived by the enemies because we are facing shrewd and conspiring ‎enemies.”‎
‎ ‎
‎The deputy of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] in ‎Esfahan province‎ referred to the United States’ imposition of sanctions on Iran’s Foreign ‎Minister, Mohammad-Javad Zarif, and said, “Imam Khomeyni said ‘America can’t do a damn ‎thing.’ This statement is still alive today and we repeat the same statement. The United ‎States has sanctioned Mr. Zarif out of hostility and animosity in an act which contrary to ‎international law.”‎

Referring to the role of piety in the popularity of man among the people, Ayatollah ‎Tabatabaeinejad ‎said, “The reason for the popularity of the Supreme Leader ‎is also due to ‎his piety. The pious and those who do things sincerely and for the pleasure of God are the ‎focus of attention and popularity by the people.” ‎

He expressed concern over rising divorce rates in Iran, saying, “Making the correct choice in ‎marriage is an important issue and today we are witnessing the growth of divorce in the ‎country due to the lack of proper and informed choice in marriage. A good wife is a ‎companion to her husband and we need to consider the characteristics of the person we ‎choose as a spouse. The growth of divorce causes problems and corruption in society and ‎therefore the problem of divorce must be tackled.”‎
