The 13th day of the Iranian calendar month of Aban, which falls on November 4 this year, also known as the Student Day in Iran, marks the anniversary of the 1979 takeover of the US embassy by Iranian students in\u00a0Tehran.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

Speaking at the meeting, Ayatollah Khamenei noted the forty years of conflict between the US and Iran, which encompasses all types of aggression launched from the enemy side, from military and economic war to a media war.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

He said the US objective was to regain its control over Iran, which it lost after the Islamic Revolution and never managed to get it back.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cThe important fact here is that in this 40-year-old conflict, the US has been on the losing side and\u00a0the Islamic Republic of Iran on the winning side. The reason for the US defeat is that it was them who started the attack, but they failed to achieve their objectives,\u201d the Leader said.<\/p>\n\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n\n

The US today is far weaker than the US of forty years ago, he said, adding that many prominent American politicians believe that the US soft power has been exhausted.<\/p>\n\n

\u201cEven their hard power, that is their economy and militarism, is on the decline,\u201d the Leader said, adding \u201cthe US\u2019 military forces are severely confused and that is why they have to resort to help from organizations such as Blackwater in order to advance their military objectives.\u201d<\/p>\n\n

The United States is doomed to decline and fall as the Islamic Republic of Iran has been gaining more and more self-sufficiency in the past forty years, the Leader stressed.<\/p>","content_source":"","content_url":"","content_columns":"0","content_date_start":"2018-11-03 14:11:43","content_date_finish":"2018-11-03 14:11:43","content_date_register":"2018-11-03 14:12:57","content_date_last_edit":"2018-11-03 14:12:57","content_show_img":"1","content_show_details":"0","content_show_related_img":"0","content_show_slider":"1","content_show_title_slider":"1","content_comment":"1","content_score":"0","content_recorded":"0","content_confirmed":"0","content_status":"1","content_kind":"0","tag_id":null,"tag_word":null,"tag_service":null,"tag_total":null,"tag_soundex":null,"attach_token":"1015379170","attach_date_register":"2018-11-03 14:12:53","attach_id":"4919","attach_file_ext":"jpg","attach_file_header":"image\/jpeg","attach_img_type":"2","attach_img_width":"2200","attach_img_height":"1467","attach_file_media":"1","attach_show_watermark":"0","score_average":null,"score_count":null,"score_date_last":null,"visit_count":"1289","visit_date_last":"2024-11-02 02:12:18","attach_title":"US on losing side of 40-year war against Iran: Leader 2","node_title":"Favorite,News","ot_node_left_right":"[{\"node_id\":98, \"left\":2, \"right\":11},{\"node_id\":126, \"left\":64, \"right\":65}]","node_number":"2","allowable_node":"2"}]]
