Leader: Hamas’ Al-Aqsa Storm, mainly anti-Israeli, upended US political agenda in region
Leader of the Islamic Ummah and Oppressed Imam Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the historic Hamas’ Al-Aqsa Storm was mainly against the Zionist regime, but was able to disrupt the table of American policies in the region and will hopefully erase the “agenda.”
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with hundreds of members of Iran’s Basij volunteer forces in Tehran on Wednesday on the occasion of the National Basij Week“
The historic event of al-Aqsa Storm is against the Zionist regime but it is aimed at de-Americanization. This incident literally managed to disrupt the table of American policies in the region, and God willing, if this Storm continues, it will wipe out the whole table,” the Leader noted.
Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the Israeli atrocities in Gaza not only disgraced the Israeli regime but the United States, certain European countries and Western culture and civilization.
“The barbaric and cruel actions that the Zionist regime committed in its crimes against the people of Gaza, not only destroyed the reputation of the regime, but also that of the United States. It took away the reputation of several renowned European countries, and also ruined the reputation of Western culture and civilization,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“The culture and civilization of the West is the very civilization that when 5,000 children are killed with phosphorus bombs, the regime of a certain Western country says Israel is defending itself. Is this self-defense? This is Western culture, which has been discredited,” he added.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the Israeli atrocities in Gaza over the past 50 days summarize the regime’s decades-long crimes against Palestinians.
“The tragedies of the last 50 days are a small part of the 75-year-long crimes of the Zionist regime in Palestine,” Ayatollah Khamenei noted.
“Al-Aqsa Storm will not run out of steam and they should know that the current situation will not continue.”
The Leader also underlined that, “The Islamic Republic believes in a referendum in Palestine based on the Palestinian public opinion. The Islamic Republic is not of the view of throwing Zionists and Jews into the sea.”
