ANKARA - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called for vigilance against what he called a "soft war" mounted by the West and aimed at weakening the clerical establishment, state television reported on Thursday.
"Our officials and all parts of the establishment should be vigilant about the West's continued soft war against Iran...the enemies want to weaken the system from inside," Khamenei said.
In a meeting with members of the Assembly of Experts, with authority to appoint and dismiss the supreme Leader, Khamenei told Iranian officials:
"By impairing centres of powers in Iran, it will be easy to harm the establishment from inside."
"The only way to materialize the (1979 Islamic) revolution's goals is national unity and not to obey the enemy," he said.
