Iran's Supreme Leader Mujtaba Khamenei issued a statement today saying that America has fallen into an irreversible decline in both military hard power and international soft power, and the collapse of its hegemonic system is accelerating. He said that if anyone hopes that a change of party or faction within the US will change their foreign behavior, or imagine that by making concessions to the US, they can abandon their hostility towards the Iranian people, then it is a big mistake.
