Iran's Khamenei says protesters' concerns valid, but warns of 'enemy hand' behind unrest
In his first public reaction to the ongoing protests across the country, Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Saturday said the concerns of merchants are legitimate, but warned there is a “hand of the enemy” behind the recent currency fluctuations.
Speaking to a gathering in Tehran, the Iranian leader said the merchant class and shopkeepers are among “the most loyal segments of the country to the Islamic system.”
