The Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that the state's main enemy seeks to destroy the achievement of the Iranian nation.
The 'Down with the US' slogan is rational. Of course it does not mean death to the American nation, it means death to the US policies and death to arrogance, he noted at a meeting with students on the eve of the 1979 takeover of the US Embassy by some revolutionary Iranian university students.
"The main enemy is who seeks to destroy the achievement of the Iranian nation," Interfax cited him as saying.
