Khamenei: Iran Will Back "Any Nations, Any Groups" Fighting Israel
(Washington Post) Thomas Erdbrink - Iranian leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Friday: "From now onward, we will support and help any nations, any groups fighting against the Zionist regime across the world." "The Zionist regime is a true cancer tumor on this region that should be cut off," the supreme leader said. "And it definitely will be cut off." Khamenei's speech exemplified his view of Iran as the flag-bearer in battles against the "arrogant powers," a term used in Iranian political discourse to describe the U.S. and its allies. Khamenei made clear that compromises such as suspending uranium enrichment are not on the table.
