Ali Khamenei - Foreign Policy

Foreign Policy

Khamenei has "direct responsibility" for foreign policy, which "cannot be conducted without his direct involvement and approval". He has a foreign policy team independent of the president's "which includes two former foreign ministers" and "can at any time of his choosing inject himself into the process and `correct` a flawed policy or decision." His foreign policy is said to steer a course that avoids either confrontation or accommodation with the West.

Famous quotes containing the words foreign and/or policy:

    We should meet each morning, as from foreign countries, and spending the day together, should depart at night, as into foreign countries.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    Mr. Wiggam, I want you to change the policy of The Clarion. I want you to write a story I should have written myself long ago. I want you to tell the people of San Francisco that no city can exist without law and order. Write a story about that flag, write about what verifies and brings a promise of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There are some people in this town who don’t seem to know that. Let The Clarion tell them.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)
