Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei on Sunday pointed out that the wars launched by the United States in Iraq and Afghanistan over the past decades were meant to harm Iran.

"The US had interests in launching wars in Iraq and Afghanistan but their ultimate target was the Islamic Iran," Sayyed Khamenei said in a meeting with a group of Iranian army commanders in Tehran.

However, the Iranian leader affirmed that the US plots failed due to Iran’s strength, which was inspired by the Islamic Revolution of 1979.

"Thus, the enemy is conquerable despite all its robust calculations and its military power," Sayyed Khamenei indicated.

The Iranian leader described the current situation in the Israeli occupation as another example of such failures.

He also noted that Israeli violations last year did not catch the world's attention. However, this year, the world witnessed demonstrations against Israeli occupation crimes, including in the US and UK.

Khamenei called for noticing enemies’ plans and plots. He also called on the centers and intellectual elements of the Iranian Armed Forces to design permanent and innovative strong, rational, and constructive strategies and policies.
