Khamenei:People must not view Jihad or martyrdom lightly. They must not deny or doubt the nation's religious beliefs. We will not negotiate with anyone over the interests of our people and country. In order for the enemies of the country and the people to make excuses for their hostility, they say: "The Iranian regime has endangered our interests." The Americans say: "The Iranian regime endangered the interest of America." We are in

I think I'm beginning to see why you are a misanthrope.
