Iran's Supreme Leader extends solidarity to US pro-Palestine student protests
Iran's Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei has voiced his support for the surge of pro-Palestine student protests unfolding across the United States.
In a letter to pro-Palestine demonstrators, Khamenei commended their efforts in condemning the Israeli occupation and US complicity in Gaza's recent violence. He labeled their struggle against the US government's support for Israel as "honorable" and aligned it with the broader goal of ending Palestinian oppression.
Amidst growing solidarity with Palestine following the recent violence in Gaza, American students have ignited a nationwide uproar by challenging long-standing narratives and demanding justice for the Palestinian people. Khamenei's letter acknowledges the students' endeavors, praising them for aligning with the "right side of history" as global sentiments shift.
Highlighting the US government's staunch support for Israel, Khamenei describes the students' struggle as "honorable," drawing parallels to the broader goals of the Resistance Front. He condemns the decades-long oppression inflicted on Palestine, attributing much of it to unwavering US backing.
Detailing the reality of the Israeli occupation, Khamenei addresses the unlawful seizure of Palestinian lands and the role of Western powers in enabling such actions. He criticizes the US for providing political, military, and economic support to Israel, even facilitating its nuclear ambitions.
Regarding recent events in Gaza, Khamenei denounces Israel's "iron-fist policy" and accuses the US of complicity through inaction. He asserts the growing strength of the Resistance Front in the face of adversity, affirming that global support for Palestine continues to rise.
Commending the solidarity extended by university professors, Khamenei offers words of comfort to the protesting students amidst government pressure. He concludes his letter with excerpts from the Quran, urging them to remain steadfast in their pursuit of justice and to reject oppression in all its forms.
As tensions escalate in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict, Khamenei's message adds a new dimension to the discourse, emphasizing the role of grassroots activism and international solidarity in challenging the status quo. (ILKHA)
