Iran’s supreme leader Ayatollah Khamanai believes Israel is in a “wretched condition,” according to the official Iranian news agency IRNA.
Addressing military and government officials from the Muslim world in Tehran, Khamanai said “the wretched conditions in which the Zionist regime is entangled currently due to the brave resistance of the Palestinian nation as a clear example of the blessed results that resistance against the enemies of Islam can bear,” IRNA reported.
“”Wherever the Islamic Ummah stand firm and resist, such blessed results will definitely be observed,” he added.

Khamanai made his comments just before Israel’s Foreign Minister Sylvan Shalom urged Iran to enter peace talks with Israel.
Khamanai also warned of continued Western imperialism. “As the Holy Prophet of Islam has stated, in order to push forth social reforms within a nation, it is necessary to refine their leaders, and therefore, the nation`s authorities, Alims, intellectuals and experts need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of mobilizing the Islamic Ummah (nation) against their enemies, and lead the Islamic world towards
exaltation and advancement.”
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamanai referred to the United States plans for changing the Middle East map and to “expand the hegemony of the Zionists over the whole region’s nations and governments, while strongly suppressing the Islamic renaissance,” IRNA quoted him as saying.
“At the peak of its antagonistic approach towards the Islamic Ummah, the global arrogance has directed all its vengeance towards the Iranian nation today, since it is well aware that the alertness, solidarity, and resistance of the Iranians is a tough obstacle in the way of materializing its illegitimate intentions,” Khamanai concluded.
