ALWAGHT- Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, stated that Hezbollah and other resistance forces have emerged as the current victors in the conflict, citing Israel's massacre of women and children in Palestine and Lebanon as a key factor.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei declared that Hezbollah and other resistance forces have so far emerged victorious in their conflict against Israel, emphasizing that one reason for this is the Zionist regime's brutal killing of innocent civilians. He noted that Israel, having failed to defeat the resistance forces in Gaza, the West Bank, or Lebanon, has resorted to committing crimes against women, children, and civilian infrastructure to falsely claim victory.
Khamenei acknowledged the losses Hezbollah has faced, including the martyrdom of some of its key members. However, he insisted that these losses have not weakened the group, as its organizational and human strength far outweighs the damage caused by the deaths. He expressed confidence that, by God's grace, Hezbollah and the resistance front will achieve ultimate victory in the ongoing battle.
Drawing a parallel between the current conflicts in Lebanon and Palestine and Iran’s "sacred defense" during the 1980s Iran-Iraq war, Khamenei framed the fight as "Jihad in the path of Allah." He stressed that it is a religious duty for Muslims to strive for the return of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque to their rightful owners, describing the Palestinian struggle as a divine movement.
Khamenei criticized the United States for its involvement in the conflict, despite American claims of neutrality. He asserted that the US supports the Zionist regime in order to secure its victory, especially with upcoming elections in mind. While Israel possesses significant resources, Khamenei argued that the side fighting in the name of Allah, including the Palestinian resistance and Hezbollah, is destined to triumph.
Finally, Khamenei reaffirmed Iran's opposition to American domination and the global system of oppression. He warned against cultural infiltration and subversive tactics aimed at derailing Iran's anti-colonial path, urging vigilance in protecting the country's educational and cultural institutions from enemy influence.
