Leader: Struggles of Nasrallah, Sinwar changed fate of region
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with organizers of the Congress of 15,000 Martyrs of the southern Iranian Fars Province on Wednesday.
The Leader described the events in the region and the steadfastness and efforts of the resistance as factors that have changed the fate and history of the region, Press TV reported.
He noted that the Israeli regime had clearly failed to destroy the resistance despite the massacre of more than 50,000 innocent people, describing this as a “great defeat for the Zionist regime.”
Yet, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed that the greater defeat lies in the disgrace of Western culture, civilization, and politicians.
“In the confrontation between the resistance front and the front of evil, victory belongs to the resistance,” the Leader emphasized.
Ayatollah Khamenei described the current developments in the region and the events in the besieged Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the occupied West Bank as historic.
“If figures like Martyr Sinwar had not emerged to fight until the last moment, or if great leaders like Martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had not combined jihad, wisdom, courage, and sacrifice and brought them to the field, the fate of the region would have been entirely different,” he stressed.
The Israeli regime assassinated Hamas’ chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital Tehran back in July and Hezbollah’s Nasrallah in southern Lebanon last month. Furthermore, the regime assassinated Haniyeh’s successor, Yahya Sinwar, in Gaza earlier this month.
The Leader described the outcome of Israel’s ongoing aggression in the region as a major defeat not only for the regime but also for Western civilization and culture.
“The Zionists thought they could easily eliminate the resistance groups. However, despite the martyrdom of more than 50,000 defenseless civilians and several prominent resistance leaders, and despite the enormous costs and US support…. the resistance front and the young fighters in Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, and other resistance groups continue to fight with the same resolve and strength,” he stated.
“This is a significant defeat for the Zionist regime,” Ayatollah Khamenei added.
