He made it clear that the Islamic Republic of Iran will never yield to such demands.

While Iran should benefit from global advancements, he stressed that it must not depend on Western ideological foundations. Iran's Supreme Leader pointed to Western double standards as evidence of the flawed nature of their civilization, particularly regarding freedom of information.
