“It seems from what they say that some European governments expect the Iranian nation to both put up with sanctions and give up its nuclear activities and continue to observe limitations [on its nuclear program]. I tell those governments that this bad dream will never come true,” the Leader said.
Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and Seyed Hassan Khomeini – grandson of Imam Khomeini and trusteeship of his shrine – canceled speeches to the event due to lack of time.
Meanwhile several well-known foreign figures including Head of the Iraqi National Alliance Seyyed Ammar al-Hakim and American writer Robert Fantia hailed the character of the late Imam Khomeini adding that he has left drastic impact on the spirit of the Muslim youth worldwide against tyrannical and arrogant powers.

Also, Fantia referred to the power of unity as the most important legacy of the late Imam Khomeini.
More than 300 foreign correspondents were covering the event slated to be wrapped up on June 5.
