America can't do a damn thing against us

"America can't do a damn thing against us" (Persian: آمریکا هیچ غلطی نمی‌تواند بکند, romanized: Âmrikâ hič ğalati nemi-tavânad bekonad) is a slogan originally used by the former Iranian supreme leader Ruhollah Khomeini during the Iran hostage crisis. It was used for the first time to assure the Iranians that the United States would not be able to restore the ousted Shah of Iran back to the Iranian throne. The statement then became an unofficial slogan for the Iranian Revolution, which resulted in the establishment of an Islamic Republic under Khomeini's rule.
