Continuing his sermon, Iran’s Khamenei says that the US and its allies are preserving the security of Israel to make it an energy-exporting gate from the region to the West, but that the “resistance” in the region will not back down against Israel.
Khamenei says Israel “cannot seriously harm” Hezbollah and Hamas, as the Jewish state continues to degrade both group’s combat capabilities.
Khamenei says Hezbollah’s fight against Israel is a “vital service to the entire region.”
He says Israel “will not last long.”
