TEHRAN, IRAN (Worthy News)– Iran’s Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that the Obama Administration had taken the option of a military intervention against the Islamic republic off the table.

“They realized that military attacks are as dangerous or even more dangerous for the assaulting country as they are for the country attacked,” Iran’s spiritual leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, said in a New York Times report.

A “military attack is not a priority for Americans now,” he concluded. “They have renounced the idea of any military actions.”

Ayatollah Khamenei’s speech took place on the 25th anniversary of the death of his predecessor, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic republic.
