Muslim States Must Block All Avenues of Assistance to ‘Israel': Imam Khamenei
Leader of the Islamic Revolution Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that Muslim governments must block all avenues of assistance to the Zionist regime and restrain their criminal hands from continuing these barbaric actions in Gaza. In a message to the 2025 Hajj pilgrims, the Leader also said the United States is a definite accomplice in the crimes of the Zionist regime. 'America's associates in this region and other Islamic regions must heed the call of the Quran about defending the oppressed. They must compel the arrogant US government to end this oppressive behavior. Leader calls on Islamic world to stand up against Israel's 'savagery and evil' — IRNA News Agency (@IrnaEnglish) June 5, 2025 Imam Khamenei emphasized that 'the amazing resistance of the people of Gaza has placed the Palestinian cause at the forefront of the concerns of the Islamic world and all free people worldwide.' He stated, 'We must seize this opportunity and hasten to help this oppressed nation. Despite the efforts of the arrogant and supporters of the Zionist regime to obliterate the name and memory of the Palestinian cause, the evil nature of this regime's leaders and their foolish policies have created a situation in which the name of Palestine is today brighter than ever, and public hatred for the Zionists and their supporters is greater than ever.' He considered this an important opportunity for the Islamic world. Imam Khamenei stated, 'Speakers and those with social authority must work to raise awareness and sensitivity among the people and expand the demands related to Palestine.' He continued, 'You, blessed pilgrims, must not miss the opportunity to pray and seek help from God Almighty during the Hajj rituals, and to ask God Almighty for victory over the oppressive Zionists and their supporters.'
