TEHRAN, Nov. 17 (MNA) – The provisional leader of Friday Prayers in Tehran says the occupying regime has been one of the biggest factors causing a crisis in the West Asian region and the world.

Addressing the Friday prayers sermon today, Hojjatoleslam Mohammad Hassan Aboutorabifard said, "More than 40 days have passed since the people of Gaza resisted against the Israeli regime. Palestine is part of Islam and Gaza is part of Palestine."

Referring to Imam Musa al-Sadr's remarks about the Israeli regime, Aboutorabifard said, "He considered Israel to be absolute evil, and he said that there is anything more dangerous than this regime.'

The existence of this child-killing regime is being supported by the  United States politically, militarily, and economically, he said.

For about 70 years, this regime occupied the land of Palestine by killing Muslims and Christians, he said, adding that with the support of the Western powers and the United States, its shaky and spidery shameful life has continued until today.

The occupying regime has been one of the biggest factors causing a crisis in the Middle East region and the world, the cleric added.

With the amazing and proud intelligence and military victory of the Palestinian Resistance in the Al-Aqsa storm operation, the intelligence, military, defense, and security hegemony of this fake regime collapsed, he added.
