In a recent post on X, Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, linked the recent missile strikes on Israel to the broader narrative of Western interference in the Middle East.
He accused the U.S. and certain European countries of being the root cause of regional conflicts, asserting, “If the villainy of the U.S. and certain European countries is removed from this region, undoubtedly these conflicts and wars will be completely eliminated. Then the countries in the region can live together in peace, health, and prosperity.”
Khamenei expressed hope that, with God’s help, the hard effort of the Iranian people, inspiration drawn from the Islamic Revolution, and collaboration with other nations, they would remove their enemies from the region, “God willing.”
