Ayatollah Khamenei addresses Basij commanders saying Iran will keep supporting the Palestinian cause.
Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, in a meeting on Wednesday with a group of 2,500 commanders of volunteer Basij forces, described the Basij as the “blessed and dynamic representative of the whole nation.” Elucidating methods used by hegemonic powers to bear enmity toward the Iranian nation, Ayatollah Khamenei said: “In the genuine battle and war launched by the hegemonic powers’ front against the ‘identity- and independence-seeking front,’ the Iranian nation will fulfill its obligations with regard to defending the brave Palestinian nation and the Intifada in the West Bank.”
