Ali Khamenei's Opinions

Disagree
[In the west] moral values do not pose any limitation for freedom. For instance, the homosexual movement in the U.S. is one of their popular movements. They are even proud of it and hold rallies in the streets and publish their photographs in magazines. ... No one is ashamed of it and no one denies it. Rather, some people who are opposed to homosexuality are severely attacked by some of these newspapers and periodicals and condemned as opponents of homosexuality.

US politicians [...] accuse Iran of trying to make nuclear warheads... We do not act like this toward our enemies [and in fact] the US is the only country that has up to now committed such a big crime. The Westerners are the ones that have made chemical weapons and used them, and during the 8-year war they imposed on us through Iraq, they put these lethal internationally banned weapons at the disposal of Saddam and his tyrannical Ba’th minority regime.

I assume that enemies intend to eliminate the sweetness of the election with their hostile provocation.
