TEHRAN - Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the West is lying about Iran’s nuclear energy program.

In an address at a ceremony commemorating the holiday of Id al-Ghadir in Tehran on Sunday, he advised the United States, Britain, and certain European countries to halt their deceitful plots.
The Zionists are trying to negatively influence global public opinion about Iran, but the entire truth will eventually become clear to the world and the enemies will be humiliated more than ever before, Ayatollah Khamenei stated.
The Iranian nation is trying to develop nuclear technology because the country needs it, he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei also said the enemy will make use of every divisive remark or action.
When the domineering powers fail to defeat a nation through threats, military attacks, and sanctions, they attempt to find a way to create division and dissension among the people, he observed.
“The Zionists, the Americans, and other arrogant powers are afraid that the Iranian nation will become an example… and that is why they have been using every trick and plot in order to isolate Iran,” but they have not been able to do so, and God willing, they will fail in the future, too, he stated
