From the beginning of the revolution to this day, we have observed the presence of an enemy right in front of us. From the initial hours of the revolution, this enemy revealed its presence and expressed opposition [towards the Islamic Republic of Iran]: this enemy was the government of the United States of America. To this day, while we speak, the U.S. officials have employed numerous plots, methods, and means of deception aimed at striking the Islamic Republic; various methods. Indeed, there is no hostile method that they have not tried against the Islamic Republic! They provoked Saddam into attacking and fighting against Iran. The US government used their influence against Iran within the UN. They launched propaganda campaigns, day and night. They used the arts. They used their Hollywood industry. The USA launched military moves against Iran: they shot down our passenger plane. They attacked some of our centers in the Persian Gulf. The USA government has maneuvered all sorts of schemes against the Islamic Republic. In addition, the purpose of all their [USA’s] maneuvering was to overthrow the Iranian government. If today, this idea [to overthrow] is being echoed in the statements of American officials, this is not a new concept: this was their goal since day one [of the revolution]. Their previous president [Barack Obama] who kept announcing that their goal is not to overthrow the Iranian establishment, he even pursued a goal to overthrow [Iran’s governing body]; of course, his motives later became completely transparent. All these plots failed. What is important and, moreover, interesting about all these events is that all those attacks, plots, and schemes, against the Islamic Republic, have failed. Look at the Islamic Republic today; after the passage of nearly 40 years, it is moving forward with complete power, steadfastness, and various other capabilities. This means that everything the USA did [against Iran] has failed.
