the translation was so awful that I decided to translate it again:
"Our main issue is not bunch of rioters on the streets. Does it mean we should ignore them? Of course not. Any rioters or terrorists should be prosecuted accordingly, this is not a question. Yet we all shpuld note this is not Iran's real confrontation or the main challenge, The aspects of the main challenge are much more diverse, thorough, and fundamental than these actions. You are right there, in the very moment confronting this sophisticated plot day by day. That's why a Basiji (Volunteer forces) should recognize and value his [historical] place and value.
As for the US there's no resultions through negotiations with them (reference to the nuclear deal violated by the US). For them the only resolution is them taking ransom from other nations. Not once... their greed never stops them... today they demand some ransom, tomorrow another, and it keeps going the days after. Today they demamd us to halt our nuclear plants. Then they go after the proliferation ; first they say 20% is desirable, then they demand it to be reduced to 5% (historical reference). Right after that they suddenly ask us to be de-nuclearized unilaterally (reference to the US behavior towards North Korea). Afterwards they demand us to change our constitution, or dissolve our supreme court (reference to CIA's Ajax coup in Iran). They can't help demanding ransoms if you (cut out)."

Iran is a sovereign country, no one should dictates Iran to change constitution or close their defence industry. If US defence industries even give lobbies to US gov by creating wars for their own profit, why can't Iran has its own defence industry? At least Iran doesn't create conspiracy for its own profit. For Iranians who want to live like Western people, they can go to the West, there are plenty of countries like Canada, US or Australia which match your demand. Iran will remain in its status quo

Yes Mr Ayatollah you are very right it's true that Satan wants you to surrender wholely in it's own hands but you will never 🙏👏👏👏

The main enemy is global arrogance
What a precious words by our leader

[farsheedyas]

The Iranian leadership Ayatollah Ali Khmanei is right, Iranian shouldn't trust US & especially it's proxy (France, UK & Germany). Get rid of JCPOA & NPT asap. Focus towards East & forget about Western countries. The economy & situations in US & EU is so bad that they are begging for oil and gas from Iran. In the middle of winter these western countries would be begging for help, when the protesters coming out & topple their leaders. Long live 🇮🇷❤️🇮🇷💪💪. Go team Iran ⚽

I am an Iranian, unfortunately, they are blowing the whistle on me. Some time ago, I got into an accident through jamming and a hundred crossings. Then I don't know why they whistle on my head. Even God and the angels are not satisfied. Where is your humanity? Poor thing, I don't have money to run away or get treatment.human rights

If a woman meets a man that’s in the military of Iran. She should refuse to connect. That Iran solder is working for evil leader. That Iran solder deserves no love.

Avatollah Khamenei will burn in hell for what he has done.

Women deserve respect. Not as slaves.

رهبر دانا و اگاه در پناه خدای منان باشید انشا ء الله❤❤❤❤❤❤

[netsiteing]

of course it won’t, because the Ayatollah regime in Iran has an ideology opposed to that of Judeo-Christian values …

[grawakendream]

the US demanding ransoms is his way of saying, pursuing and establishing human rights protections for people. that's what he prefers to avoid

[JuanARivera-zd]

What did he say about theodore Roosevelt?
