DUBAI, June ‌4 (Reuters) - ​Iran's ​Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei said ‌in a message on Thursday ⁠that Iran's enemies, ‌having been defeated on ‌the battlefield, were now seeking to undermine ​public resilience and sow internal divisions.

Khamenei ⁠called for national unity in ​the face of those threats and said any ​action that ‌created pessimism or frustration among the ⁠public amounted to helping the enemy.

The message ⁠was read on his behalf ​during ceremonies marking the anniversary of the death of ‌the Islamic Republic's founder, Ruhollah Khomeini, ‌as well as ⁠a major ‌Shi'ite holiday.
