Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei stressed that defending Palestine nowadays equals defending the truth.

Addressing a group of university professors and academic elites on Wednesday, Imam Khamenei said that the fight against the Zionist regime “is the fight against arrogance and imperialism and that is why the US politicians consider it as a blow and hostile move,” IRNA news agency reported.

We are on the eve of Quds Day which is a crucial day and is not just like that we are defending an oppressed nation expelled from their homeland; we, as a matter of fact, are fighting an oppressive and tyrannical political establishment.”

The late founder of the Islamic Republic, Imam Khomeini established the annual event of Quds Day in the last Friday of Ramadan holy month in order to bring international attention to the Palestinian cause.
