Khamenei says all US presidential candidates hostile to Iran
23
DUBAI: US policy is preventing big companies from doing business with Iran, while US presidential candidates are trying to outdo each other in their hostility to the Islamic Republic, the country's top leader said on Sunday.
Iran still faces difficulties in working with foreign banks and the international financial system due to US policies, even after nuclear-related sanctions were lifted, Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said in a televised address marking the Iranian new year.
“The candidates for the American presidency have competed to vilify Iran in their speeches, and this is a sign of hostility,” he added.
“In Western countries and places which are under US influence, our banking transactions and the repatriation of our funds from their banks face problems ... because (banks) fear the Americans,” said Khamenei.
“The Americans have not acted on their promises and (only) removed the sanctions on paper,” he added.

Long Live Islamic Leadership who has rightfully identified the biggest threat to the Islamic world. No Muslim leader dares to speak like him. US has over the decades helped developed terrorist in all Muslim countries with the help of like minded. Largest seller of arms to destroy infrastructure of Muslim countries from Libya, Ethiopia, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan. Divided Sudan into two countries. Divided eastern Islands from Indonesia.

The day you (Iran) become friend of Israel by actions, means stop looking for liberation of Palestine and Al Quads (Qibla e Awal) all hurdle in your way will be removed, Iranian banks transactions will be swiftly moved, your banned TV Channels will be freely accessible from everywhere on earth.

Only Muslim leader who is really a threat for bullying powers, standing on Islamic values despite of all oppressed pressures from wars to financial and commercial sanctions for 35 years.
There is a saying of great leader "Enemitty with US is better than friendship" look what happened with friendly countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq , Libya and several on the way for destruction.

If you don't listen and obey the big boss/ hegemon then they will be hostile. Look at Venezuela, N Korea, Cuba, Russia,etc. In South America numerous govt were overthrown as in the Middle East because they didn't follow orders.

It is very simple. Iran will keep oil prices at current level which oil producing countries
do not want. Those countries want oil prices at a level of past. So keep the ban on Iran
secretly and declare openly that ban has been lifted. These Arab countries do not
realize that the only country that benefits from Western policies towards Iran is
Israel.

The day Iran stops intervening in other's internal affairs and stops creating militias in neighboring countries, US and the World's other leaders will be less hostile to Iran.

@STAN : Very good and comprehensive analysis indeed. Great work.
But when will Ummah try to understand this truth / fact is a big question.
It is also a fact that neither USA nor other anti-Islam forces can succeed in their agenda unless they have support / connivance from Muslim countries. Ummah needs to wake up and raise strong voice against such countries / rulers who are in full connivance and thus providing all types of assistance to vested interests in fulfillment of their evil agenda.
