During a rare appearance leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei spoke in Arabic and declared the recent Hamas massacre and Iranian missile attack on Israel as justified. Referring to the Hamas massacre on October 7, Khamenei defended the actions, claiming they were legal and legitimate.
He also praised the slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling him “a dear brother and source of pride” and emphasizing his influence beyond Lebanon and the Arab world. Khamenei’s speech indicated unwavering support for Iran and its regional proxies, vowing not to back down from Israel.
Addressing Hezbollah’s armed terrorists, Khamenei urged Muslims to defend their countries and emphasized the resistance against oppression. Criticizing the U.S.’s intentions towards Israel, he stated that attacks against enemies serve the entire region and humanity.
