Mousawi further stated these rallies \"indicate complete adherence to the principles of Islam, to the values of freedom, and independence.\" <\/p>\n
He went on to say that the Iranian people \"are giving their confidence and hope to their leadership, and they are showing that they are ready to defend and sabotage all the conspiracies.\" <\/p>\n
The commentator added that US President Donald Trump needs to think a lot more before committing any kind of fallacy especially after his continuous threats against Iran. <\/p>\n
He also asserted that Trump has divided the American people because of his domestic and foreign policies. <\/p>\n
