ALWAGHT- Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Leader of the Islamic Revolution, condemned the brutal assaults by the "rabid Zionist dog" on Lebanon, stating that they expose the shortsightedness and foolish policies of Israeli officials. He urged all Muslims to stand united in support of the Lebanese people and Hezbollah.
On Saturday, September 28, the Leader issued a message in light of the recent events in Lebanon. Here is the text of the message as released by Khamenei.ir:
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The killing of defenseless civilians in Lebanon has once again exposed the savage nature of the rabid Zionists to the world. At the same time, it highlights the shortsightedness and irrational policies of the leaders of the occupying regime. The terrorist group governing the Zionist regime has failed to learn from its year-long criminal war in Gaza and does not grasp that massacring women, children, and civilians will not weaken the robust structure of the Resistance or force it into submission. They are now repeating this misguided approach in Lebanon.
Zionist criminals must understand that they are far too weak to cause any significant damage to the solid foundation of Hezbollah in Lebanon. All Resistance forces in the region stand in solidarity with Hezbollah.
The Lebanese people remember that when the occupying regime's soldiers advanced toward Beirut, it was Hezbollah that halted their progress and brought pride to Lebanon. Today, by the grace and power of God, Lebanon will ensure that the malicious enemy pays for its transgressions.
It is the duty of all Muslims to support the people of Lebanon and the honorable Hezbollah by providing their resources and assistance as Hezbollah confronts the usurping and cruel Zionist regime.
May God's peace and blessings be upon His righteous servants.
Seyyed Ali Khamenei
