Khamenei's website says Iran's nuclear prowess key to strength

The official website of Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei posted a video on Wednesday titled "A strong Iran with an advanced nuclear industry" highlighting a past speech he made praising Tehran's capabilities.

"If you want a strong Iran—anyone who loves Iran, anyone who supports the Islamic Republic, anyone who cares for the nation and desires the strength of this country—must value and respect this area of scientific, research, industrial, and practical effort taking place here," Khamenei said in the June 2023 remarks.

"Everybody has to affirm that the nuclear industry is one of the pillars of the country’s status, strength and power."
