Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei: Veil has fallen from face of Western civilization
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei says the veil has fallen from the face of Western civilization in the wake of the Israeli war on Gaza, including after the US "shamelessly" vetoed the UN Security Council resolution for a ceasefire.
"The great victory of the Palestinian nation is that they discredited the West and America and their false claims of human rights," Ayatollah Khamenei said in Tehran on Saturday during a meeting with a group of visitors from Kerman and Khuzestan provinces. "Today, no one in the world makes a difference between the Zionist regime, and America and England," he added. Ayatollah Khamenei also said the solution to Iran's problems is elections, warning against certain efforts to discourage people from the ballots. "Elections are the basis of transformation. Elections prevent dictatorship, chaos and insecurity," he said. The Leader touched on the concept of the Islamic Republic, explaining that the words “Islamic” and “Republic” are both related to elections.
Lieutenant General “Haj” Qassem Soleiman, then commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, was martyred on January 3, 2020 in an American terrorist attack near Baghdad airport, along with his Iraqi colleague in the battle against terrorism Daesh (ISIS), Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, vice president of the Iraqi Popular Mobilization (Al-Hashd al-Shaabi) and 8 others of his comrades.
