Iran’s Khamenei brags that ‘small, limited Gaza’ brought Israel ‘to its knees’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei declares that Gaza has brought Israel “to its knees,” in a reference to the ceasefire and hostage release deal that came into effect on January 19.
“The small, limited Gaza brought the Zionist regime, armed to the teeth, and fully supported by America, to its knees,” Khamenei says.
He appears to avoid direct mention of the ruling Hamas terror group that waged war against Israel, preferring instead to speak of Gaza as a whole.
The war in Gaza was sparked by the terror group’s invasion and massacre in southern Israel on October 7, 2023, in which some 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken hostage.
