"Zionist regime, its Western backers have been defeated"

Ayatollah Khamenei made the comments in a meeting with organizers of the Congress of 15,000 Martyrs of the southern Iranian Fars Province on Wednesday.

Saying that Zionist regime has failed in destroying the Resistance after the killing of more than 50,000 innocent people, the Leader considered the bigger defeated side to be the  Western culture and civilization as well as their politicians for backing indifferently the regime.

"In the battle between the Resistance Front and the Evil Front, victory belongs to the Resistance," he highlighted.

Ayatollah Khamenei described the current developments in the region and the events in the besieged Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and the occupied West Bank as historic.

The Leader described the events in the region and the steadfastness and efforts of the resistance as factors that have changed the fate and history of the region.

“If figures like the martyr Sinwar had not emerged to fight until the last moment, or if great leaders like the martyr Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah had not combined jihad, wisdom, courage, and sacrifice and brought them to the field, the fate of the region would have been entirely different,” he stressed, according to Press TV.

The Israeli regime assassinated Hamas’ chief Ismail Haniyeh in the Iranian capital Tehran back in July and Hezbollah’s leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah in southern Lebanon last month. Furthermore, the occupying entity assassinated Haniyeh’s successor, Yahya Sinwar, in Gaza earlier this month.
