The highest-ranking member of the Iranian government says that western leaders are “stupid” if they think that Iran will do anything to curb their nuclear missile weapons program.

“They expect us to limit our missile program while they constantly threaten Iran with military action,” Ayatollah Ali Khamenei told Iran’s state-owned news agency.  “This is a stupid, idiotic expectation.  The revolutionary guards should definitely carry out their program and not be satisfied with the current level.  They should mass produce.”

Khamenei also said that western countries were working to bring the Iranian people to their knees with a list of sanctions but that they would never be able to stop Iran.

The “Supreme Leader” also said that he wants political leaders to find ways to end sanctions against Iran without giving up any of the country’s nuclear program.

No western nations are currently threatening military action against Iran.
