Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei pointed out that the enemies of Iran and Islam are today relying on a soft war.

During a speech that he delivered in a meeting with the officials in charge of the Nomadic Martyrs Commemoration Congress on June 12, Khamenei considered that "today, we need cultural work more than anything else throughout the whole Iranian nation, including among the nomadic people."

The Iranian leader highlighted that "the enemy of the Iranian nation, of Islam, of the country and of the Islamic Republic is relying on a soft war today."

Khamenei described the nomadic people of Iran as "one of the most loyal groups of Iranian people," adding that "the people should not forget that we have valuable groups of nomadic people who are one of the country’s resources."

He explained that "foreigners tried to infiltrate the nomadic people in order to somehow entice them into betraying their country in different ways – for instance by dividing the country, by waging civil wars and by doing all sorts of things. But they failed to draw them toward the direction they wanted. When I say the nomadic people are the most loyal and one of the most loyal, this is why."

The Iranian leader stressed that "the fact that more than 11,000 nomadic people were martyred is very important in itself."

He said that "the enemy is trying to undermine religious faith, hope and optimism about the future and the management of the country," affirming that "Anyone who causes the people to lose their belief in the actions, efforts and plans of the officials of the country and causes them to become pessimistic is working to the advantage of the enemy."
