Speaking in Arabic, in a rare move in the Friday sermon he delivered for the first time in Tehran after the killing of Qassem Soleimani in Baghdad, he said Ali Khamenei“The operation by our armed forces a few nights ago was completely legal and legitimate,” referring to the Iranian missile attack on Israel.
The Iranian guide said: Israel It will not survive, adding that every strike against Israel serves the entire region.
Sky News Arabia’s special analyst, Bechara Charbel, said that Khamenei’s speech was consistent with Iranian military and ideological rhetoric recently.
Charbel pointed out that Khamenei’s speech was “an ideological speech par excellence, a mobilization speech par excellence, and it clearly showed that he still views things from an Iranian point of view, ignoring the general interests of countries.”
He added: “The wooden talk continues about eliminating Israel, without relying on facts indicating the possibility of achieving this matter.”
Words appeared Iranian guide “Emotional and delusional,” according to Charbel, who said that Khamenei “does not acknowledge that there are changes after the Israeli killing machine almost annihilated Gaza, and annihilated a large part of Hezbollah… It is an emotional speech addressed to the masses who believe in these ideas.”
As for Majid Azzam, a special analyst for Sky News Arabia, he considered Khamenei’s speech a kind of manipulation and “bidding” against the countries of the region.
Azzam said: “I remember that Iran andHezbollah “It was completely silent when the United States occupied Afghanistan and Iraq, simply because those things were in Tehran’s interest.”
He stressed: “Iran Billions were spent to create armies to defend it, most notably armies in Iraq and in… Lebanon“The goal is always to defend Tehran,” which Azzam considered sufficient reason not to take Khamenei’s words seriously.
Azzam said: “Khamenei must not outdo the Islamic nation by resisting, because he was present during all the previous disasters that happened to Iraq, Afghanistan and others, and he did not lift a finger.”
On the military side, Charbel said, “Iran has spent a lot on Hezbollah and…agitationIt was sincere in its support and arming, but it was helpless and failed in its calculations.”
He explained: “What Iran thought was its ‘immunity’ turned out to be incorrect, and that the penetrations were very large, and Israel demonstrated this.”
