Declaration on sunday irans president threatened a strong response if the sanctions are imposed britain france and germany say sanctions relief will continue aljazeera has as said big joins us from tehran what else has he been saying. Well hes been talking about the iran iraq war and he said that Saddam Hussein was just a tool in this war and the real people behind him was the United States and the u. K. And just to bring some context where iran is currently they are under u. S. Sanction economy u. S. Sanctions the economy has been struggling the currency has lost a lot of its value in fact is that its weakest point it has ever been but also he spoke about the sacrifices of normal iranians he meant mentioned general carson for the money twice he said that the war had defined the country had given its identity and protected the Islamic Revolution but when mentioning some of the money he mentioned the talents that had come out of this war he mentioned the founding father of irans Missile Program who was then assassinated and he is drawing parallels to the modern day situation in iran finds itself in and also its a warning to those that may look to iran that may think about attacking them he specifically said that if anyone was to attack this country they now know that iran will not back down and iran will fight so here is the message that hes sending today is not only just for normally rain is because he is the spiritual and political leader of this country hes talking trying to bring keep alive this memory of the iran iraq war this war that defined this country politically but also a warning to the United States they has been a military buildup in the region and hes talking about the strength of iran the strength of irans Missile Program and the sacrifices of normal people but you also mentioned the revolutionary guard irans revolutionary guard which was established by the former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini and this is a force that is one of the most now is one of the most powerful institutions in iran one of the most influential also in the region and he answers directly to the office of.

Where usually is the president we have military parades up and down the country usually into iran this event is held at the muzzle of former Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini but because of the covert 19 pandemic that hasnt happened and thats why were hearing that the Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini is stepping in but the president hasnt rouhani did speak yesterday following the announcement of the United States that they considered the u. N. Sanctions are back in place and president hasnt rouhani mocked the United States saying that their maximum pressure had turned into maximum isolation but how many is the highest authority in the country he is the political and Supreme Leader political theological leader of the country and hes with is absolute and remember that the military and the revolutionary guard answer to him to hes office and he has the final say so this is quite significant that he is speaking in specially a day after the United States announce that those sanctions are back in place because we still dont know how the United States will impose those sanctions and there is concern here into her own that the United States may stop iranian vessels now iran has issued a warning that they consider that as piracy and they that and that they will respond if that is the case so this could be a prelude before that telling the people that look get ready things could get worse and also to rally really rally the troops and ready the institutions behind the struggles the country is facing thanks very much bigger correspondent there in iraq.
