Mojtaba Khamenei statement:

Message from the Leader of the Islamic Revolution on the occasion of the Hajj

The shaky Zionist regime and the cancerous tumor of Israel are also approaching the final stages of their ill-fated life, and by the grace of God and in accordance with the decisive and unwavering determination of the past year, the great leader, the martyr, Quds Allah, the Most Merciful, will not see the day twenty-five years after that date, God willing. For this reason, this year, the issue of disavowal from polytheists is doubly important, and the depth and scope of disavowal from America and the Zionist regime goes beyond the ritual of disavowal during the Hajj season and time. In different parts of Iran and the world, and after these blessed days, death to America and death to Israel will be the common slogan of the Islamic nation and the oppressed of the world, especially the youth. The future belongs to the Islamic nation and the new Islamic civilization, and each of us can play a role in realizing this future and getting closer to it, according to our efforts, capacity, and responsibility.

Iranian pilgrims and pilgrims in this year's Hajj have an effective and prominent role in telling the story of the victory of the Third Imposed War to their other Muslim brothers and sisters and giving them hope for a bright future. I ask all dear pilgrims to pray for the hastening of the savior of humanity, may God hasten his return, and to pray for the unity of the Islamic nation, the liberation of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque, the removal of the great difficulties of Muslims, and the achievement of final victory against global arrogance, and to include me in your prayers.

O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and cast Your loving-kindness and mercy upon the pilgrims and the entire Muslim community, grant them the success of an accepted Hajj, enlighten their hearts with the lights of knowledge and insight, and strengthen their resolve and determination.

IRGC Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani on the Gaza flotillas:

"The victories of the 'Sumud' flotilla continue, it tore down the false walls of Western civilization's freedoms and further exposed Zionist fascism. It returned Palestine to the center of global attention. It brought the defeated Zionist regime, which has resorted to escalating oppression and crime, closer than ever to its end."

President Trump: "Schumer is gone. I mean, he's a Palestinian! He should be fighting on the side of Palestine. He's actually become a Palestinian leader!"

"I don't know. I've never seen a man change so much. He used to be pro-Israel. Now he's pro-Palestine."

"I've never seen anything like it. And you know, he's worried he's going to lose this next election, which it only depends if anybody runs against him. If anybody runs against him, he'll lose."

"But he's gone very wacky and very dangerous for our country!"

IRGC in a message to the Palestinians:

“We say to you: Today, we are not fighting merely in defense of ourselves, nor merely to avenge our martyrs, but also in defense of the oppression suffered by the Islamic nation and the Palestinian people and their martyrs, who hold a steadfast place in this stance.

Palestine has never been the cause of one people alone, but has been and will remain the cause of dignity, right, and justice, and the cause of the entire Islamic nation.

O Islamic nation, and O people of Palestine,
Do not think that you stand alone in the field of confrontation against the usurping Zionist entity; we are with you, on a covenant that does not change and a position that does not weaken.

You are the people of return and dignity; a people who know how to endure, how to stand firm, and how to preserve their right from generation to generation.

We pledge to you to remain steadfast by your side on this path, until the right returns to its rightful owners, and dear Palestine returns free and with head held high to its true owners.

And peace be upon you, and the mercy of God and His blessings”
