Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that no power can force Iran to retreat from its goals.
According to him, those who claim that "tomorrow’s world is the world of negotiations, not of missiles, show their unawareness, or even treason”.
Khamenei noted that he supports political talks on global issues, but not with everyone.
“If the Islamic System seeks technology and negotiations, but lacks defensive power, it would be forced to back off being faced even with a tiny country’s threats,” Trend cited him as saying.
