In his March 7, 2025 Friday sermon in Tehran, Ayatollah Ahmad Khatami, a member of the Guardian Council and the Assembly of Experts, addressed Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, accusing him of insulting Iran by calling for it to stop its regional policy.
He remarked that the whole world now sees how Turkey interferes in Syria and asked whether Turkey has no shame in telling Iran not to interfere in Syria while it is interfering?
Khatami also warned the U.S., England, Germany, and France that if they do not stop their threats against Iran and its nuclear program, Iran would wipe them off the face of history. The worshippers responded with chants of "Death to America! Death to England!"
Ahmad Khatami: "America and the European troika of Germany, France, and England threatened Iran and said that the [IAEA's] Board of Governors would have to act. Why do you repeat these hackneyed statements? You have had the audacity to do such things for the past 45 years, which have gained you nothing, and will not benefit you from now on either. We are telling you very clearly, the [Iranian] people are telling you that if you do not stop your threats, the great Iranian people – through its resistance – will wipe you off the face of history and politics."
