Soft War Aimed at Making Iranians Indifferent

Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei cautioned that a key objective in the "soft war" waged by enemies against Iran is to dissuade people from pursuing values and undermine their beliefs. "The enemy's purpose in the soft and covert war against Iran is people's estrangement from resistance, making people indifferent to their aspirations and dominating the country's mental and spiritual atmosphere," Ayatollah Khamenei said in a meeting with members of committees tasked with holding congresses to commemorate the country's martyrs on September 26, Tasnim News Agency reported. The Leader warned of tactics used by the enemies to disappoint and undermine the Iranian nation, pointing to their various tools, costly propaganda as well as economic, political and security pressures. Ayatollah Khamenei also highlighted the enemies' failed attempts at damaging Iran and said, "The Iranian nation has thwarted many of the world powers' plots with its resistance and fortitude. The Leader's statements in the meeting were made public on Sunday.
