The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the country throws its weight behind all popular anti-US movements in the region.

“Our stance regarding these public movements is crystal clear. Anywhere there is a popular Islamic and anti-US movement, we support it,” the Supreme Leader said on Saturday.

“However, if we see that a movement is provoked by the US or Zionists, we will not support that movement. We support movements that are against the US and Zionism,” The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei added.

“Anywhere the US or the Zionist regime (Israel) is involved … to topple a government or occupy a country, that is the point where we are against it,” the Supreme Leader reiterated.

The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei also praised popular Islamic movements and the wave of Islamic Awakening in the Middle East and North Africa.

The Supreme Leader warned against US plots to hijack the revolutions and said, “The United States does not do anything in the interests of regional nations. Whatever they have done so far has been against regional nations.”

The Leader Of Islamic Ummah And Oppressed People Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei urged Muslim countries to remain vigilant in the face of the Western plots.

The Supreme Leader was addressing crowds of people at the mausoleum of The Late Founder of the Islamic Republic Imam Khomeini.

Iranians across the country and outside Iran have held mourning ceremonies to mark the departure of Imam Khomeini, who passed away in 1989.

Thousands of foreign guests also attend the ceremonies in the Iranian capital, Tehran, every year.
