IRIB NEWS - If America makes a wrong action against Iran, we will make such a retaliatory action that will be a lesson for all bully powers of the world, said Tehran's Eid al-Adha prayer leader Hojjatolesslam Sayyed Ahmad Khatami.

"Last year was definitely the darkest year in history for the leaders of the White House," Hojjatolesslam Khatami added on Monday morning.

"Today, the Islamic Republic of Iran is honorable among the world people because it has managed to inspire Islamic awakening around the world," Tehran's Eid al-Adha prayer leader continued.

"America and the Zionist regime has in the past three decades made every effort including waging ethnic war, assassination, the 8-year imposed war, infiltrators, coup d'etat, soft war and the 2009 sedition to harm Iran," Khatami said.

In another part of his sermon, Eid al-Adha prayer leader adviced the Secretary General of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) not to mar the picture of the international organization with his wrong behavior and false report.

Khatami also called US intervention in Afghanistan and Iraq and the New Middle East plan as three other US conspiracies against Iran, saying: "The occupation of Afghanistan was made in order to create a base against Iran, the occupation of Iraq as a curbing factor for Iran and the New Middle East plan to contain the wave of Iran's great revolution, but thanks to Gad all have failed."
