Tehran, Sept 8, IRNA
Substitute Friday prayers leader of Tehran Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said here Friday that sanctions will be more harmful to the region and the world than Iran.
"The US which has put sanctions against Iran on its agenda, is harming the world and the region before Iran," said Ayatollah Kashani in his second Friday prayers sermon.
Ayatollah Kashani ruled out foreign media's "false" propaganda regarding Iran's peaceful nuclear activities and said the arrogant powers are hoped not to continue the crimes and take lessons.
He also hoped that the west would come to sense and would not let the nuclear case get further complicated.
The cleric said Iranian officials are united and have made their mind not to stop scientific progress, an instance of which being nuclear energy.
He said enemies of Iran will never be capable to bring a "great, wise, pious and devoted" nation like Iran to its knees.
Referring to the Zionist regime of Israel's brutal aggressions on Lebanon and Hizbollah's 33-day resistance against the Zionist army, Kashani said, "They intended to remove Hizbollah and Lebanon in two to three days but received a heavy blow by the resistance forces."
