The Latest from Iran (20 March): Happy Nowruz

Haft Sin, the traditional table setting for Iranian New Year0600 GMT: We begin with best wishes for Nowruz to our readers, wherever they might be celebrating today.

The Supreme Leader has declared the Iranian year 1391 to be thee the year of "National Production, Supporting Iranian Capital and Labor", as he proclaimed the great success for the Islamic Republic over the last 12 months:

What one witnesses is that these events generally were to Iran’s benefit and conductive to the [country’s] objectives. Those in Western countries who pursue malevolent objectives against Iran and Iranians are having various problems.

Those countries in the region that the Islamic Republic has always supported have achieved great goals, [some] dictators were overthrown and constitutions based on Islam were passed in some countries.”

The number one enemy of the Islamic Ummah and the Iranian nation, namely the Zionist regime, has been surrounded.

Ayatollah Khamenei announced last March that Iran would have a "Year of Economic Jihad", in which which the Islamic Republic would defy international sanctions "thanks to policies of our officials and the cooperation of the nation". 

This morning he offered the update that  Economic Jihad was "never-ending": "If domestic production prospers, most of the enemies’ efforts will undoubtedly fail."
