TEHRAN (Defapress) – Calling on Iranian judiciary to seriously fight against corruption, Emami Kashani said the country has engaged in an economic war.

“Our country is in a psychological and economic warfare while some people are doing criminal economic activities. The judiciary should seriously fight against them ,” Ayatollah Mohammad Emami Kashani said in this week's Friday Prayers in Tehran.

Emami Kashani said that the country is in a real war and arrogant powers have engaged in a psychological and economic warfare against it.

He rejected the US president’s call for direct talks with Iran, saying that Iran will never bow to the pressures and the Islamic Establishment will continue to pursue its own path.

The enemy seeks to force the country into negotiation, the Tehran Friday Prayers Imam said, adding that Iran will follow the path that the Leader of the Islamic Republic has shown.

He also said that the arrogant United States does not abide by the rules of negotiations, quoting the US Washington Post newspaper’s report that Donald Trump lies about seven times a day.

He recited Holy Jesus Christ’s words to dismiss liars as worthless people who do not deserve respect.

At the end of his speech, Ayatollah Emami Kashani stressed that in face of the US, Zionist regime, and Saudi Arabia’s economic war, people should remain vigilant, calling on the authorities and private sector to do their own duties to confront the plots.
