Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei tells ambassadors of Islamic countries that Israel’s demise is imminent, during an Eid al-Fitr event.
“Today, we are witnessing the gradual decline of the usurping Zionist regime; its speed is even increasing day by day,” Khamenei says according to Iranian media.
“The strategy of the Islamic world should be focused on strengthening the combatant elements inside Palestine,” he says.
“The more this resistance increases, the weaker the Zionist regime will be, the more apparent its atrocities will become. The truly miserable situation that the Zionist regime is facing today is the result of the Palestinian youth’s resistance,” Khamenei adds.
