(Worthy News) – Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei slammed the US and Israel in a speech to Muslim leaders on Sunday at an international conference in Tehran. He accused the “world’s arrogant powers” – which he said are led by “the Great Satan” – of wilting in the face of a rising Islamic awakening in the Middle East. “The Zionist regime is much weaker than before,” he claimed, pointing to what he said were Israeli defeats at the hands of Hezbollah in Lebanon in 2006 and Palestinians in Gaza in 2009.
Hitting on familiar themes, Khamenei claimed the world was suffering from the oppression of “world powers,” and that Muslim states should “return to the rule of Islam.” The US, unsurprisingly, was singled out as the fountainhead of problems, with claims that Washington’s “arrogance” was humiliating people in the Middle East. Tweets in English, also slamming the US, followed his speech.
