TEHRAN – Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said on Wednesday that he earnestly supports any “useful and essential” action to resolve the people’s problems.

“I seriously support any useful and essential action in line with maintaining the national interests and resolving the people’s problems,” he said during a meeting with a group of senior government, judicial, and parliamentary officials.

He thanked the government for its efforts to implement the resistance economy’s policies and highlighted the importance of unity among officials to implement such policies.

He added that the activities of state bodies should be monitored to see if they are following the resistance economy’s policies.

“In this monitoring, the bodies that are moving within the framework of these policies [the resistance economy’s policies] should be strengthened, the bodies that are indifferent should be guided to the main path, and the bodies’ actions that are contrary to the resistance economy should be prevented,” the Leader stated.

He said that the executive bodies are capable of implementing the resistance economy’s policies and the parliament should help the government in this respect.

Ayatollah Khamenei also said domestic capacities should be employed in order to implement the resistance economy.

---‘U.S. cannot be trusted’

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader said that the U.S. cannot be trusted, noting that Iran should rely on its own capacities.

He attached great importance to domestic production, saying special emphasis should be put on production in industrial sector and agriculture.

---‘Unity needed among official’

He also said, “The Islamic Republic of Iran has always enjoyed the privilege of national unity, but along with the national unity, there should be unity and solidarity among the officials and this unity does not contradict differences in views.”

The Leader also urged officials to pursue “fundamental and revolutionary goals”.
