Leader Sets Out Roadmap for Future Success

As the Islamic Republic enters its fifth decade, Leader of Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has set out a series of guidelines to help the country make further progress, including weaning the economy off its reliance on oil revenues and exercising vigilance in dealing with the West. 
In a seven-point statement published on Wednesday, the Leader said a weak economy makes the country vulnerable and paves the way for “foreign interference” in national affairs, his website reported. 
"Iran is facing challenges from both within and outside the country," he said, adding that mismanagement and sanctions are among the main factors undermining the economy.
