Khamenei says Iran 'will not back down'

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei on Friday insisted that the Islamic republic would "not back down" in the face of protesters, in a speech broadcast on state TV.

Khamenei also called on US President Donald Trump, who had threatened to strike Iran over the protests, to mind his own country's business.“If he knew how to run a country, he would run his own,” he said, adding that there were many problems inside the United States.
