Addressing a gathering of women, Khamenei emphasized that the so-called “axis of resistance” is far from defeated despite changes in the Syrian landscape. “The spirit of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is alive; the spirit of Sinwar is alive,” he declared, referring to the leaders of Hezbollah and Hamas who have been targeted by Israeli forces.
Khamenei’s remarks came amid chants from the crowd calling for the destruction of America and Israel, reinforcing the ideological commitment to resistance against perceived adversaries. He noted that while the bodies of leaders like Nasrallah and Sinwar may be gone, their beliefs endure, ensuring that their paths of resistance continue. “They are attacking Gaza and taking martyrs on a daily basis, but they are still standing, they are still resisting. Lebanon resists,” he stated, highlighting the ongoing conflict and resilience in the region.
The Iranian leader criticized Israel’s strategy, claiming that the Zionist regime believes it can prepare to encircle Hezbollah through operations in Syria. However, he countered this notion by asserting, “But the one who will be uprooted is Israel.” Khamenei’s comments reflect a broader narrative within Iranian leadership that frames Israel as increasingly vulnerable and isolated in its regional ambitions.
This rhetoric underscores Iran’s commitment to supporting groups like Hezbollah and Hamas as part of its strategy to counter Israeli influence in the Middle East. The speech also serves as a reminder of the volatile dynamics at play in the region, where military confrontations and ideological battles continue to shape political landscapes.
Khamenei’s assertions come at a time when tensions between Israel and Hezbollah remain high, with both sides preparing for potential escalations. Analysts suggest that Iran’s backing of Hezbollah is part of a larger effort to maintain its influence across the region, particularly in light of recent conflicts involving Israel.CONTINUE FULL READING>>>>>
