“West tries to portray regional conflict as Shia-Sunni war” – YouTube
The Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution has reaffirmed Iran’s policy of supporting the cause of Palestine. In a meeting with the Secretary General of Palestine’s Islamic Jihad Movement, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said supporting Palestine means supporting Islam.
Ayatollah Khamenei says the West has been trying to dominate the region through a massive war against the Islamic Front. The ongoing war is the continuation of the conflict which began against Iran 37 years ago with the issue of Palestine as its centerpiece. Ayatollah Khamenei warned that arrogant powers are trying to portray the regional conflict as a war between Shia and Sunni Muslims. The Leader underlined that Syria is not ruled by a Shia government, but Iran supports it as those who are fighting Damascus are the enemies of Islam and serve the U.S and Israel.
He then referred to the unprecedented sanctions imposed by the U-S and its allies on Iran. The Leader said the measures aimed to force Iran into abandoning its path. He said the sanctions were futile and will fail to produce results in the future. Ayatollah Khamenei also condemned efforts to pressure the Lebanese resistance movement. He said Hezbollah is powerful enough to withstand such pressures and Israel is more scared of the movement than ever before. During the meeting Ramadhan Abdollah thanked Iran’s support for the Palestinian cause.
