Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei vowed that the Israeli regime will receive a slap in the face, expressing hopes that the Muslim Ummah’s youth will pray in Al-Aqsa and that the Islamic world will celebrate the annihilation of the Zionist entity.

In an address to officials of the Iranian administration and other branches of government on Wednesday, the Leader stressed that the attack which killed top Iranian generals the premises of the Iranian embassy in Syria’s capital earlier this week would fail to save ‘Israel’ from its defeat in Gaza where it has been engaged in nearly six months of aggression against the Palestinians.

“The cowardly efforts by the Zionist regime like the one they carried out in Syria will not save them from defeat.

They will of course receive a slap in the face for this move,” his eminence said, as quoted by Iranian media.

“The Zionist regime’s defeat in Gaza will continue and this regime will approach demise and collapse,” said the Leader.

Imam Khamenei, meanwhile, reflected on the Gaza war during the past six months, noting that the Zionist regime suffered two major defeats.

The first occurred on October 7, 2023 during Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.

His eminence described the second defeat as a failure in achieving the goals that the Zionists declared in the Gaza war.

He described the crimes committed by the Israeli regime in Gaza as “unprecedented in history” and said the scale of crimes even caused uproar among people who have been brought up in the Western culture.

On the other hand, the Leader said that demonstrations planned for this year’s Al-Quds Day, which will be marked on April 5 on the last Friday of the holy month of Ramadan, will mobilize supporters of Palestine not only in Muslim countries but in non-Muslim countries who have been pushing for an end to the Israeli aggression on Gaza.

“This year’s Quds Day will be an international revolt against the usurper Zionist regime,” he stated.

“We hope that our youth would see a day when the Holy Quds is controlled by the Muslims and they pray in it and the world of Islam celebrates the annihilation of the usurping regime,” said Imam Khamenei.
