Ayatollah Khamenei was speaking on Thursday at a meeting with Qur'an reciters in Tehran, which marked the first day of the Muslim fasting month of Ramadhan.
The Leader said: “God willing, Palestine will be liberated from the grip of the enemies and America and its stooges will not be able to do a damn thing, in relation to the truth and the divine tradition>'
In further remarks, the Leader denounced the Israeli regime’s brutal massacring of innocent Palestinians in Gaza, with the Israeli military firing live rounds and killing about 60 peaceful unarmed Palestinian protesters, and wounding more than 2,700 others, on 14 May.
As the bloodshed was underway, the US relocated its embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem al-Quds months after Washington announced it was recognizing the occupied Palestinian city as the “capital” of the Zionist regime.
The Leader added: "Under such circumstances, some complain why the US does not take a stance [against Israel]. This is while America and many Western governments are complicit in these crimes.”
Ayatollah Khamenei further stated that the Islamic Ummah and Muslim governments are duty-bound based on the teachings of the holy Qur'an to adopt a firm position and stand against Israel’s crimes against Palestinians.
The Leader said: "The Qur'an tells us to be unflinching and steadfast in the face of the enemies of religion and infidels and be kind among ourselves, but at the present time, because Muslims have drifted away from the teachings of the Qur'an, we are witnessing war and discord among Muslims and submission to infidels in the Islamic world."
