Jonathan Hessen: Ayatollah Ali Khamenei acknowledged that Hezbollah is sustaining devastating blows. Nevertheless, in an attempt to up the spirit of its followers, who are experiencing an all-time-low in morale - Ayatollah Khamenei insisted that Hezbollah remains victorious.
“Yes they are hurting them. Some of the effective and valuable elements of Hezbollah were martyred; it was a loss, but this was not a loss that destroyed Hezbollah. The organizational and human strength of Hezbollah is much more than these words. Their authority, ability and strength are much more than these words to be seriously affected by these losses.. Of course, the loss of a person, especially if he is a commander and has a history of Jihad, is a loss; there is no doubt about it. Therefore, they’ve won so far, and by Allah’s grace and power, the final victory in this battle belongs to the Resistance and the Hezbollah front”
Khamenei, who is the ultimate decision maker of the Ayatollah regime, went on to assert the Islamic importance to ensure that the land of Israel, which he referred to as “Palestine”, would be reconquered by Muslims.
“The definite ruling of Sharia is that it is mandatory for everyone to try and help to return Palestine and the Al-Aqsa Mosque to Muslims and to its original owners”.
And while highlighting the importance of the conquest of the land of Israel, Ayatollah Khamenei acknowledged further that Hezbollah is sacrificing itself for Gaza - as it is supposedly waging Jihad ( An Arabic reference for holy war).
“Hezbollah in Lebanon has sacrificed itself for Gaza and puts itself forward in the face of these bitter incidents, it’s doing Jihad for Allah”.
It is further interesting to highlight that the Ayatollah Regime’s supreme leader also ceased the opportunity to attribute the successes to the involvement of the United States, which has stood behind the State of Israel since the war erupted.
“America is behind it .The Americans say: we are not involved, we have no information .They are saying the opposite! They know it, they are involved and they need the victory of the Zionist regime . For the upcoming elections the current American government needs to show that it has supported the Zionist regime and won."
