US inflaming modern ignorance: Leader

TEHRAN, May 17 (MNA) – Receiving some officials and ambassadors of Muslim countries in Tehran on the occasion of anniversary of Prophet Muhammad's first revelation (Mab’as), Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that US is a key player in modern ignorance.

Iran's Leader asserted that the modern world is grippling with 'modern ignorance', which is far more dangerous than the ignorance humanity suffered from before the advent of Islam; “however, the Islamic Republic of Iran has the power to confront and undermine this modern ignorance by efforts and insight,” added Ayatollah Khamenei while receiving a number of officials and ambassadors of Muslim countries here on Saturday on the occasion of the anniversary of Prophet Muhammad's first revelation (Mab’as).

Labeling terrorism the result of modern ignorance, Aaytollah Khamenei blamed US for forming and supporting the most dangerous terrorist groups such as ISIL, saying “Iran has strongly fought against terrorism and will continue to do so.”

The Leader emphasized that the main objective of US policies in supporting terrorist groups is waging proxy wars in the region and warned regional countries against such threats.

“Security of the Persian Gulf is beneficial to all countries in the region and an insecure Persian Gulf means the spread of insecurity all over the region," he concluded.
