Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people in Tehran on Friday, Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, "The enemies are trying to fuel tension in the Islamic Republic via economic affairs."

He, meantime, reiterated that Iran's parliament and the judiciary have always stood against the bullying powers and issued prompt statements against enemies' measures.

Ayatollah Emami Kashani, meantime, thanked Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei's wise advice on how to defuse enemies' anti-Iran plots.

In relevant remarks last Saturday, Ayatollah Khamenei downplayed the western states' threats of imposing new sanctions against Iran as ineffective.

"Of course, they (the enemies) will embark on harassments, including economic sanctions and propaganda, but these harassments will not stop the Iranian nation's great move," Ayatollah Khamenei said, addressing a large number of young Iranian people in Tehran.

He warned of enemies' attempts to make the youth weary of Islam and Islamic Revolution and pave the ground for the US control over all affairs, but meantime, said, "Now we have a generation whose faith, talent, flourishing and might is more than the first generation (after the Islamic Revolution) and this generation is more prepared than the previous generations to keep the enemies back."

"The enemy can do no damn thing against the Iranian nation, similar to the past 40 years," Ayatollah Khamenei said.

Iranian officials have always underlined ineffectiveness of sanctions against the country, stressing Tehran's firm stand to continue progress in different fields.
