Imam Khamenei also criticized Israel’s relentless assault on Gaza during the holy month of Ramadan, describing it as a clear manifestation of the evil and wicked nature of Western civilization.
“The occupying entity not only continued but even intensified its killing of women, children, and defenseless people during Ramadan,” Imam Khamenei declared.
Highlighting the alarming death toll in Gaza, Imam Khamenei accused Western governments of being complicit in the Israeli aggression. He expressed disappointment in their failure to take action to protect innocent lives.
“During the last six months in Gaza, the Western governments, themselves, put on display this evil nature before the eyes of the world. Their strength does not match that of the resistance fighters, so they claim the lives of children and the oppressed and killed more than thirty thousand innocent people,” he stated.
Imam Khamenei also questioned the sincerity of Western governments, particularly their stance on human rights.
“Where are those whose cacophonous voice on human rights deafen the ears of the world? Are these not human beings? Don’t they have any rights?” he asked.
Turning his attention to Israel’s allies, he criticized Western governments for their unwavering support and assistance to the Zionist entity.
“It was right that they prevented the crimes of this entity in this disaster. But the Western governments did not fulfill their duty. Some spoke in support of the people [in Gaza], but in practice, they not only failed to prevent but also contributed to [the war], especially the arrogant and cruel governments of the US and UK,” Imam Khamenei noted.
The Supreme Leader concluded his speech by affirming that ‘Israel’ would face punishment for its actions, reiterating his commitment to justice and the defense of oppressed nations.
