    Khamenei likens Iran to ‘mighty tree’ that cannot be uprooted by protesters

    DUBAI (Reuters) - Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, in comments responding to violent protests sweeping the nation for a fourth week, compared the Islamic Republic on Friday to a seedling that had grown into "a mighty tree" that could not be destroyed.

    "That seedling is a mighty tree now and no one should dare think they can uproot it," Khamenei said in remarks broadcast on state TV.
