Ayatollah Khamenei: Israel Will Be Eradicated

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remark at a meeting with thousands of Iranian women from different walks of life at the Imam Khomeini Hussainiyah of Tehran, held on Tuesday, December 17, on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Fatimah Zahra (PBUH).

Ayatollah Khamenei elaborated on some aspects of the Prophet’s daughter’s existence as a remarkable phenomenon in the realm of creation.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Leader conveyed various viewpoints regarding women and the Islamic charter on this matter. He also dedicated part of his speech to discussing several points about the regional situation, considering the current circumstances in the region, khamenei.ir reported.

The Leader highlighted regional issues, the endeavors of the resistance, and the situation in Syria. He pointed out that the actions taken in Syria, coupled with the crimes committed by the Zionist regime and the United States, bolstered by support from other entities, have led enemies to mistakenly believe that the resistance movement had been defeated. However, he emphasized that this is a grave mistake on their part.

Ayatollah Khamenei emphasized that the spirit of Sayed Hassan Nasrallah and Sinwar lives on. "Their bodies have left, but martyrdom has not erased them from existence. Their spirit and ideas remain, and their path continues,” he stated.

Referring to the steadfastness of Gaza against the daily attacks of the Zionists and the ongoing resistance in Lebanon, the Leader stated, “The Zionist regime believes it is preparing itself by way of Syria to surround and eliminate Hezbollah in Lebanon, but it is Israel that will be uprooted.”

He emphasized Iran's steadfastness in standing alongside the Palestinian fighters and the Mujahideen of Hezbollah, reaffirming the nation's dedication to providing ongoing support and assistance. He expressed hope that the day will come when the fighters will see the evil enemy getting trampled under their feet.

Elsewhere in his speech, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution elucidated the character of Lady Fatimah (PBUH). “It is remarkable and extraordinary that a young woman can attain such a spiritual and celestial identity, to the extent that, as narrated by both Shiites and Sunnis, her anger represents the anger of God, and her satisfaction reflects the pleasure of the Almighty,” he remarked. 

Imam Khamenei described some of the unique qualities of Lady Fatimah (PBUH) as “comforting the Prophet (PBUH) during difficult times”, “accompanying the Commander of the Faithful in jihad”, “engaging in worship in such a way that captivated the angels”, “delivering eloquent, articulate, and fiery sermons”, and “raising Imam Hassan, Imam Hussain and Lady Zainab (PBUT).” He further added that Fatimah Zahra’s childhood, youth, marriage, and life all serve as the highest, most beautiful models that represent the pinnacle of a Muslim woman. 

The Leader of the Islamic Revolution addressed the diverse perspectives surrounding the issue of women globally, stating, “Capitalism and the politicians aligned with it, by controlling the world's influential media and through dishonesty and lies, conceal their criminal and corrupt motives for interfering in and manipulating women’s affairs worldwide, all for gaining illegitimate profits, under the guise of a philosophical and humanitarian theory.”

Imam Khamenei underscored that dishonesty and hypocrisy are perennial tactics employed by Western imperialists and capitalists. He cited the recruitment of women into factories – to fulfill the labor demands of industries reliant on low-wage workers, all under the guise of promoting women's freedom and independence – as a prime example of this hypocrisy.
