Mohsen Khamenei called the expression of weaknesses by government officials a "great help to the enemy"

On Friday, the office of Mohsen Khamenei released a statement attributed to him, in which the leader of the Islamic Republic implicitly criticized the "honest expression of weaknesses" by senior government officials, stating that this act constitutes a "great help" to the "enemy."

Masoud Pezeshkian, the President of Iran, and Abdolnaser Hemmati, the Governor of the Central Bank, recently acknowledged the impact of the U.S. maritime blockade, reporting on the halt of oil sales and the inability to import gasoline.

In the statement by Mohsen Khamenei, published on the occasion of "Government Week," it is mentioned that expressing weaknesses also creates "concern" in the "hearts of friends and allies," leaving them "confused and bewildered."

The leader of the Islamic Republic, who has not made any public appearances since his election during the 40-day war and has not had any audio or video released, also called for the "narration and highlighting" of what he termed the "strength and power and positive points" of the Islamic Republic.

Donald Trump, the President of the United States, stated in an interview on August 25 that he believes Mohsen Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, is severely injured but "alive."

The statement attributed to the leader of the Islamic Republic refers to the current problems in the country, such as inflation and unemployment, describing them as "dark spots" on the "page of the country's economy," which he claims must be "gradually reduced until they are completely erased."

Mohsen Khamenei acknowledged that U.S. actions "during and after the war" are not "ineffective" in the current situation and subsequently called for "management" of this situation.
