Khamenei: ‘With war, Israel wanted to destroy the system’

Milan, 16 July. (LaPresse) – ‘The calculation and plan’ of Israel and the US in the latest war in Iran ‘was that by attacking certain sensitive figures and centres in Iran, the system would be weakened and then, by bringing to the fore the dormant cells of their mercenaries, from hypocrites and monarchists to thugs, they could deliver the coup de grâce to the system by inciting the people and bringing them out onto the streets’. This was stated by Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to the Iranian news agency Irna. ‘In practice, the exact opposite of the enemy's plan happened, and it turned out that many of the calculations of some people in the political arena and the like were incorrect,’ Khamenei added.
