According to Navideshahed quoting IRIB World Service, Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Imam condemned the recent measure of the European Union in regard to Iran oil embargo, while emphasizing that through this act, the Europeans have in fact imposed sanctions against themselves and the main losers of this measure are European people.

Ayatollah Khatami pointed out that Iran's nuclear achievements and advancements in recent years have been fulfilled in the face of West's sanctions against Iran, while adding that despite the pressures exerted by the enemies of Islamic Iran; and with the support of the committed scientists, Iran is currently a nuclear country.

Pointing out that Iran faces no problem in selling its oil, Ayatollah Khatami added that the Europeans cannot deal a blow against Iran's economy via imposition of Iran oil sanctions because Europe buys less than 18% of Iran's oil.

In further remarks, Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Imam criticized the allegations of Saudi officials about provision of Europe's oil in case of Iran oil sanctions, while adding that the Saudi officials, through continuation of such policies, only expedite their collapse.

Referring to upcoming legislative elections in Islamic Iran and the enemies' plots to downplay the parliamentary elections, Tehran's interim Friday Prayers Imam pointed out that the Muslim Iranian nation, through a massive turnout in this election, will once again foil and thwart the foes' conspiracies against the Islamic Revolution and the sacred Islamic system.

Ayatollah Khatami further denounced the atrocious crimes committed by the Aale Khalifa regime in Bahrain, and called on the revolutionary Bahraini youths to continue their steadfastness and resistance for ouster of this regime, because the Bahraini nation's victory is imminent.

Furthermore, Ayatollah Khatami noted that the Iranian nation will once again announce its support for the ideals of the Islamic Revolution, like the previous years through its massive and millions-strong participation in gatherings marking the anniversary of victory of Iran's Islamic Revolution.
