Addressing the 1st International Conference on Women and Islamic Awakening in Tehran, Ayatollah Khamenei added that over the past three decades Iranians have stood up to all conspiracies and sanctions by sacrificing their lives, property, and loved ones.
“As a result [of these sacrifices] we are now 100 times stronger than we were about 30 years ago,” the Leader said.
