In an unannounced appearance amongst 13 Aban demonstrations of people of Semnan on Thursday morning, Ayatollah Dr Seyyed Ebrahim Raisi said, "The history of America's enmity with the Iranian people is not 40 years, but this enmity is more than 70 years"."The difference is that in the first thirty years, the United States succeeded in plundering the interests of the Iranian people by coup d'état and supporting the dictators, but in the 43 years after the victory of the Islamic Revolution, the Iranian nation has won the battle against the endless hostilities of the United States," he said.The President said, "The Iranian people have always condemned the interventionist and bullying actions of Americans in the region, including their recent behaviour, and they are always grateful for the intelligent and authoritative responses of the brave border guards of the IRGC".The President also referred to the date of the start of negotiations on the lifting of oppressive sanctions against the Iranian people and said, "Our negotiation is a result-oriented negotiation and we will not hesitate supporting the rightful demands of the Iranian people to lift the oppressive sanctions".Mr Raisi said, "As Iran has previously stated, we will not leave the negotiation table, but we will also stand against the excessive demands that lead to the loss of the interests and rights of the Iranian people".Ayatollah Raisi said, "At the same time, we will pursue the lifting of sanctions and the neutralisation of sanctions".
