Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei has denounced the US for “brazenly vetoing” a UN Security Council resolution to stop the ongoing Israeli genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The third US veto of a Security Council resolution demanding a ceasefire in Gaza revealed “the lies of Western civilization’s claims about human rights and the hypocrisy of Westerners in the Gaza issue”, the Leader said Saturday.
“The Westerners, who make noise and uproar for the execution of a criminal, have turned a blind eye to the killing of 30,000 innocent people in Gaza, and the US has brazenly vetoed the resolution to stop bombing Gaza for the umpteenth time,” he said.
“This is the true face of Western culture and civilization and liberal democracy, which on the surface, there are spruced-up politicians with smiles on their faces, but inside, it is a rabid dog and a bloodthirsty wolf,” he added.
Ayatollah Khamenei likened Western civilization to a “lopsided load that will not reach home”, but “the culture of the righteous and correct logic of Islam will prevail”.
The Leader touched on the Gaza situation, saying it was a manifestation of the miracle of relying on people on religious faith.
“The stoicism of the resistance forces in disappointing the enemy in its bid to destroy them, as well as the fortitude of the people of Gaza in the face of bombings and calamities shows the strong religious faith of these people.”
The Leader also touched on the deep-seated enmity of the West with the Islamic Republic, saying the most important problem of the enemies is their lack of knowledge about the people of Iran and Islam.
“The enemies of the Iranian nation, based on their estimates and designs, were sure that the Islamic Republic would not see its 40th birthday,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.
“However, much to their dismay, the progress of Iran did not stop and by God’s grace, it will continue, relying on the efforts and will of the people and their religious faith.”
