Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei declared that "today, the enemy is attacking us in every front. In the economic, politics and intelligence fronts as well as in cyberspace". President Trump, he added, "actually helps to expose the real face of the U.S. Those before him followed the same policy, however, they wore velvet gloves over their iron hands. The current president of the U.S. has taken off these gloves and everyone can see the iron fist hidden beneath". Khamenei further assessed that Iran's enemies "have not made a military confrontation arrangement yet. However, our armed forces are of course vigilant".
