Iran’s Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei said on Sunday that Israel had suffered a defeat in Gaza due to its failure to destroy Hamas in the more than 40 days since the conflict began.
“The defeat of the Zionist regime in Gaza is a fact,” Khamenei said in a speech during a visit to an exhibition of the Revolutionary Guards Aerospace Force in Tehran, the leader’s office reported on X (formerly Twitter).
Khamenei said the Jewish state’s goal was to “destroy Hamas,” but they have not achieved this in more than 40 days of war “and will not achieve this in the future.”
“Invading hospitals and people’s homes is not a victory,” Khamenei said, declaring that “they have killed thousands of children without remorse because “Zionists consider themselves a superior race.”
For the religious, Israel’s “failure” in Gaza also means a defeat for the United States and Western countries, which support Tel Aviv.
Khamenei also stated that the condemnations of some Muslim countries and international organizations against Israel are “just a gesture” and not enough.
“The most important decision that Muslim governments must make is to cut the lifeline of the regime by blocking energy and products,” the religious said, a request he has already made in recent weeks.
During their visit to the aerospace exhibition, the Revolutionary Guards presented several new drones, one of them called Gaza, and the second version of the hypersonic missile “Fattah”, although they did not explain what was new compared to the previous model.
Tehran celebrated its ally Hamas’ attack on Israel on October 7 and has since repeatedly warned of the possibility that its allies will open other fronts if they do not stop the bombing of Gaza, which has killed more than 12,000 Palestinians. health resources in the enclave.
