'Despite all mischievous measures and moves, taken over the past 38 years to make the country insecure, the armed organizations, including police, and the faithful youth bravely withstood and defended the country's security,' IRNA quoted Supreme Leader as saying.

Ayatollah Khamenei said no organization and force is exposed to the public as police is and to this end, capability, power, timely action and bravery of the force is source of honor and prosperity of the system.

The Supreme Leader said police guarantees security of the public and prepares the ground for defending honor of the Islamic Republic establishment.

'At a time when polluted hands of enemies have scattered seeds of terrorists in the region, guaranteeing security of the country and police confrontation with the corrupt and mischiefs is of high significance and the role should scientifically, experimentally and skillfully be strengthened and followed seriously in such centers as police academy.'

Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei outlined root causes of insecurity in the region now and also referred to the US' and Zionists' mischievous and satanic intervention to infiltrate into the region and secure its illegitimate interests and undermine nations. 'One day, they create Daesh and when Daesh has its last breathes thanks to the resistance of the faithful youth, it seeks to find other hostile ways but thanks God and thanks to endeavors of Iranian youth and the resistant youth, the hegemonic system agents' are once again humiliated.'

'The only way to confront infiltration and greediness of the domineering powers, especially the US is the feeling of capability of nations and governments of the region and their application. If we fall short, the enemy will come forward,' Ayatollah Khamenei added.

The Supreme Leader referred to the US rudeness and impudence in connection with the JCPOA and said, 'In this connection, they show a mischief and satanic gesture each day, showing the right statement of the great Imam (Khomeini) that the US is a big Satan and actually the US is the most malicious Satan.

'Today, we see that despite all agreements and commitments and lengthy debates, the US approach to the talks and their outcome is fully tyrannical, authoritative and bullying,' Ayatollah Khamenei said.

'Officials should prove to the corrupt rulers of the US that they rely on their people and Iranian nation is a great nation and under blessing of Islam they will not succumb to pressure and will not bow to them. Americans should know that Iranian nation will stand on their honorable ad powerful stances and as far as key issues relating to national interests are concerned, withdrawal has no room in the lexicon of Islamic Republic and will go on. Enemy should know that if bullying proves effective in other parts of the world, it will not be so in the Islamic Republic and the system is authoritative and strong.'

The Supreme Leader said the reason for growing hostility towards the Iranian nation is its source of inspiration for other nations and the corrupt, liar and deceiving officials of the US impudently accuse Iranian nation and the Islamic Republic system of telling lies, while Iranian nation has been moving and acting honestly and will proceed the path to the end sincerely.

'You are the liar; the liars are those who do not consider any right for anyone to get prosperous and fortunate and consider securing their illegitimate interests permissible at any price.'

Iran and the Group 5+1 (the US, Russia, China, France and Britain plus Germany) reached the JCPOA on July 14, 2015 and began implementing it in January 2016.

Under the agreement, limits were put on Iran’s nuclear activities in exchange for, among other things, the removal of all nuclear-related bans against the Islamic Republic.

The UN Security Council later unanimously endorsed a resolution that effectively turned the JCPOA into international law.

Trump has been a virulent critic of the JCPOA signed under his predecessor Barack Obama, calling it 'the worst deal ever.'

However, the US Senate and Treasury Department have imposed new sanctions against Iran and several Iranian companies and individuals in recent months over its national missile program, which is not in breach of the JCPOA.
