Supreme leader: Iran will support any Israeli enemy
Iran’s supreme leader in his Persian New Year speech said that his country will continue supporting anyone who fights with Israel, state TV reported Wednesday.
In a live broadcast, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said that a great oppression is being done in the region due to the existence of Israel. “This is a very great oppression that has been going on for 10 years and this oppression must be stopped,” he said.
“Whoever enters this great jihad, humanitarian jihad, Islamic jihad, conscientious jihad, we support him and help him, and with the grace of God, we will achieve our goal,” Khamenei added.
The Iranian leader also rejected any accusation by the United States against his country about its role in the Israel-hamas war and called it a U.S. miscalculation.
Khamenei also said that the U.S. understanding of regional issues is wrong.
Iran has long vowed to destroy Israel.
