Iran's supreme leader calls for SANCTIONS against Israel, demands halt to Gaza bombing

By richardbrown // 2023-11-03

Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Hosseini Khamenei has issued a call to action for Muslim nations, urging them to halt the export of oil and food to Israel and to demand an immediate cessation of the bombardment of the Gaza Strip. In a speech reported by Iranian state media, Khamenei expressed his concern about the ongoing violence in Gaza and highlighted the resilience and patience of the Palestinian people, which he believes has stirred global solidarity.

Khamenei pointed to international demonstrations in support of Palestine, noting that people in countries such as the U.K., France, Italy and the U.S. have taken to the streets, chanting slogans against Israel and the United States. He emphasized that the credibility of these nations has been severely undermined, making it challenging for them to justify Israel's actions. Moreover, Khamenei reminded the world of the role played by the U.S., France and the U.K. in opposing the oppressed people of Gaza. He stressed that it was not solely the Zionist regime that stood against the Palestinians but also these major Western powers. In addition to Khamenei's remarks, Iran's Foreign Minister, Hossein Amir-Abdollahian, expressed that it is understandable that resistance groups and movements would not remain passive in the face of Israel's actions. He called for utilizing the remaining political opportunities to halt the conflict, warning that the situation could escalate further. Amid this turmoil, Houthi rebels in Yemen, known for their alignment with Iran, claimed to have launched multiple ballistic missiles and drones toward southern Israel, pledging to continue their attacks. In response, the Israeli military reported the successful interception of a "surface-to-surface missile" fired from the Red Sea area, thanks to the Arrow aerial defense system. Khamenei made the call during a meeting with students on National Student Day and the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance. Aside from calling a halt on Israeli attacks on Gaza, Khamenei urged sanctions against the Israeli regime. These sanctions would aim to exert economic pressure on Israel and discourage international economic cooperation with the Zionist state. He also stressed the importance of a unified and vocal condemnation of Israel's actions in all international forums. Muslim countries should use their diplomatic influence to garner international support for the Palestinian cause and express their rejection of Israeli aggression, he added.

Khamenei: Israeli war on Gaza represents a broader struggle between truth and falsehood, faith and arrogance

Khamenei made it clear that the battle being fought transcends the immediate Israeli war on Gaza. It represents a broader struggle between truth and falsehood, faith and arrogance. "While the power of arrogance may employ military pressure, bombardments and crimes, the power of faith, by the grace of God, will ultimately triumph," he said. Khamenei said the Israeli regime is now grappling with an irreparable blow. He emphasized that, without the support of the U.S., the Israeli regime would face imminent collapse, highlighting the vulnerability and dependence of Israel on U.S. assistance. He recalled the events of Nov. 4, 1979, the date when Iranian students took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. He described it as a significant moment when the Iranian nation profoundly humiliated Washington. Khamenei emphasized that the American government had previously harmed the Iranian nation on two Nov. 4 occasions – once by forcing Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini into exile in 1964, and the second time during the September 1978 massacre of students in the capital's Jaleh Square under the former Pahlavi regime. The Iranian leader celebrated the Nov. 4 embassy takeover as a decisive act that exposed confidential documents and secrets within the U.S. embassy, shedding light on America's activities and intentions.
