#4 Urging the people to maintain their vigilance and awareness, Ayatollah Khamenei said enemies and the arrogant powers have today realized that Iranian nation would show their national strength whenever needed. He warned the audience that enemies are striving to destabilize Iran because instability would inhibit scientific, economic, and cultural progress.

Sounds like the Ayatollah has taken North Korean 101.

#5 He warned the audience that enemies are striving to destabilize Iran because instability would inhibit scientific, economic, and cultural progress.
Scientific progress? Wonder what he's refering to exactly..
I was led to believe that the clergy were taught public speaking & basic/intermediate level rhetoric at Qom, obviously Khamene'i was asleep most of the time. No metaphors, not even the lamest attempts at humour, no rhetorical questions, not even any blood curdling threats or evocations of past glories & even the dullest backwood Mullah should be able to manage that! Instead it's just: blah blah, need for vigilence, blah drone world arrogance, blah mumble, waffle people should work hard & be patriotic waffle-drone, drone zionist entity...plans..blah blah plots waffle waffle enemies not being too succesful, drone drone (continues for several hours.) I think he's just got one non-specific speach he delivers on all occasions, maybe some members of the Iranian press corps remembered seeing Brezhnev in action & decided that was the safest approach to take?
