The Leader of Iran's Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei says the United States is suffering blows from a totally unexpected direction.

�Today, the two presidents of the United States � the former president and the current president � have joined hands to tarnish what�s left of the image of the United States and they are doing so,� Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks on Tuesday in a meeting with commanders and staff of Iran�s Air Force and Air Defense Force on the 43rd anniversary of a meeting between Air Force officers with Imam Khomeini just days before the victory of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.

The leader said the enemies of Iran have launched a complex and collective offensive with economic, political, security, media and diplomatic aspects against the Islamic Republic, and that the country needs to make efforts in all directions in response.

�In the face of this combined and collective attack, we cannot always remain in a defensive position, and we must also launch a combined attack in different fields, including media, security and economic spheres,� the leader explained.

Ayatollah Khamenei also referred to the 1979 meeting, where Air Force officers pledged allegiance to Imam Khomeini, saying this allegiance was not to a person but rather to the goals and ideals of the sacred movement that Imam Khomeini led.

�The move by the Air Force that day was the last blow dealt to the rotten body of the Pahlavi regime,� the Leader of the Islamic Revolution added.
