Iran’s supreme leader rallied his country to endorse the ongoing nuclear negotiations with the US — while at the same time shouting, “Death to America!” along with the unruly crowd.
Ayatollah Khamenei addressed the rowdy mob and derided the sanctions against his country, demanding they be removed at once and not gradually, the Times of Israel reported.
“Sanctions must be lifted immediately,” Khamenei told the crowd.
When the congregation broke out with an impromptu “Death to America” chant, Khamenei couldn’t help but chime in.
“Of course, yes, death to America, because America is the original source of this pressure,” he said.
The supreme leader then went into a litany of perceived abuses by the US and other world powers.
“They insist on putting pressure on our dear people’s economy,” he said.
“What is their goal? Their goal is to put the people against the system. The politics of America is to create insecurity.”
The speech was made as Secretary of State John Kerry said the nations bargaining with Iran could complete the outline of a deal by March 31.
“We have not yet reached the finish line, but make no mistake, we have the opportunity to try to get this right,” Kerry said Saturday in Switzerland.

Iran Supreme Leader’s Rep: “We Will Not Rest Until We Have Raised the Banner of Islam over the White House”
While Obama sends greetings to Iran, Iran’s leaders have a message for him.
While Secretary of State John Kerry continues to
negotiate with Iran over their nuclear program,
one of that country’s top military officials has
vowed to “raise the banner of Islam over the
White House.”
According to the Middle East Media Research
Institute (MEMRI), Ali Shirazi, the representative
of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei in Iran’s Islamic
Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) elite Qods
Force, made the remarks at a February 26
ceremony attended by families of martyrs.
According to MEMRI, Shirazi promised that:
“We will not rest until we have raised the banner
of Islam over the White House. The Islamic nation
is determined to enter the arena with all its force,
backed by Allah’s will and his grace, and to stand
fast against the world of arrogance. They will not
suppress us with sanctions and threats. You did
not succeed in harming the regime on the day it
emerged, and now that the regime is 36 years old,
you, the enemies of Islam, must expect and
realize that every day [you] will be beaten, across
the world.”
“When we look at the Islamic world, we see that
the culture of the Islamic Revolution has reached
all countries and all Muslims throughout the
world,” Mr. Shirazi said. “This is why love of
martyrdom is spreading. This has come about
thanks to the blood of your [sons], the martyrs.”
