He made this statement during a meeting with participants of the 37th International Islamic Unity Conference (IIUC), Iranian officials, and envoys from Islamic states, coinciding with the birth anniversary of the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad (PBUH).

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized the negative consequences of normalizing relations with the Israeli regime, warning that such a move would be detrimental to any state considering it. He also pointed out that the current state of the Tel Aviv regime does not encourage closer ties with it.

He remarked: "They are making a mistake and, as the Europeans say, they are betting on a losing horse." He further emphasized that the life of the Israeli regime, which he described as usurping, would not last long, as the Palestinian movement is more vibrant and prepared than ever in previous decades. He expressed hope that this movement would ultimately lead to the eradication of the "cancer" of the Zionist regime by the Palestinian people and resistance forces in the region.

Ayatollah Khamenei also noted the deep-seated animosity of the Zionist regime not only towards Iran but also towards other countries in the region, including Egypt, Iraq, and Syria. He attributed this hostility to the regime's historical ambitions of expanding its territory from the Nile to the Euphrates, a goal that was never realized due to various reasons.

In addressing Iran's stance on war and military action, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution emphasized that Iran does not support or seek war, underlining the importance of unity against the warmongering policies of the United States.

Furthermore, Ayatollah Khamenei condemned the desecration of the Quran in European countries and highlighted the increasing enmity towards Islam in the present day.

In summary, Ayatollah Khamenei's remarks during the International Islamic Unity Conference underscored Iran's firm stance on the eventual downfall of the Zionist regime and the importance of unity against external pressures. (ILKHA)
