At a meeting with the Russian president, the Iranian supreme leader described ways to isolate the United States. In the opinion of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, only one method is sufficient for this. "Reflect American sanctions and isolate America," you can, "abandoning the dollar and replacing it with national currencies in bilateral and multilateral operations," he told Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the ayatollah added, it is necessary to act together, "not paying attention to the negative propaganda of enemies who seek to weaken relations between our countries". The Russian leader is a "strong personality", Khamenei noted.. And in big actions, "which require determination and perseverance as a superpower, it is possible to cooperate with Russia," the ayatollah. Khamenei also mentioned the great experience of Iran's interaction with Russia on the Syrian issue. "The results of this cooperation prove that Tehran and Moscow can achieve common goals in complex arenas," he said.. As for the potential of economic cooperation between the two countries, in the opinion of the Iranian leader, it may well exceed the current level.

"We can expand cooperation, using the main axis of the Chabahar port in the port of St. Petersburg, as well as in other economic areas," he said..
