RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon in Tehran, Ayatollah Mohammad Emami-Kashani ‎said, “In the last four years, we showed that the Islamic Republic is seeking peace and ‎tranquility,” ‎

On the other hand, Ayatollah Emami-Kashani said, the United States and its “regional ‎subordinates also showed that they are after war and bloodshed.”‎

Elsewhere in his sermon, the top cleric praised the production of homegrown missile ‎defense system Bavar-373 (which means faith), which was unveiled by President Hassan ‎Rouhani on Thursday in a ceremony marking National Defence Industry Day. ‎

He said as the name of the defense system suggests, the Iranian nation can resist the ‎enemies through self-confidence and relying on internal capabilities.‎

Ayatollah Emami-Kashani also derided the attempts by the United States and its allies ‎against Iran, calling United States President Donald Trump and his regional allies ‎‎“foolish” for thinking that Iran might give in under pressure.‎

‎“Mr. Trump! You are stupid and your subordinates are stupid as well. You have shown ‎your stupidity to the world,” he said, adding, “But the Islamic Republic is brave and ‎strong [as] the Leader of the Revolution (Ayatollah Khamenei) and the Imam (Ayatollah ‎Khomeini) have injected the Iranian nation with this bravery.”‎
