Alwaght- Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei has said the interference of foreign actors in the region is a source of discord and damage, calling on the regional states to follow the example of Iran for power and rationality.
Ayatollah Khamenei praised Iran's armed forces in a virtual address to a ceremony held for graduates of military academies in Tehran Sunday, calling them "a defensive shield in true sense of the word against the hard threats of the external and internal enemies."
His remarks came after Iran's Army held military exercises on its northwestern border, with Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stating that Tehran "does not tolerate the Zionist regime's activity against its national security", referring to Israel's relations with neighboring Azerbaijan.
"The interference of foreigners in the region is a source of discord and damage. All issues and incidents must be resolved without foreign interference and the countries of the region should follow the example of Iran and the armed forces of the Islamic Republic for power and rationality," the Leader said.
