Khamenei warns of 'cancerous tumor' Israel, calls for its eradication

Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei has issued a stern warning, calling for the elimination of Israel from the world map in a special message to the Iranian people on the occasion of the holy Hajj and Eid-ul-Azha.

The message was read on Tuesday, May 26, at the plain of Arafat through the supervisor of Iranian pilgrims.

In his message, Khamenei described Israel as a dangerous and deadly cancer-causing tumour in the Middle East. He claimed that Iran has rendered the Zionist regime completely helpless and cornered with its devastating strikes in the ongoing second imposed war.

Khamenei said the lesson of 'disassociation from the polytheists' this Hajj carries double importance for the Muslim world. The depth of this disassociation against the American and Israeli regimes is no longer confined to the formal boundaries of Hajj but has spread across the world.

He noted that the slogans 'Death to America' and 'Death to Israel' will become the main and popular slogans of the entire Islamic ummah this Hajj season.

Describing the cry of 'Allahu Akbar' as the greatest weapon of the Muslim ummah, Khamenei said it was with this weapon that the tyrannical Pahlavi regime was overthrown from Iran 47 years ago.

He also mentioned that because of this power, the resistance fronts of mujahid youth in Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, Syria, Yemen and Afghanistan are now connected, and operations like 'Tufan al-Aqsa' have shaken the foundations of the Zionist regime.

Khamenei said the Middle East will no longer be used as a shield for US military bases, and America is losing its safe position in the region.

Referring to Israel, he said the cancerous Zionist regime has reached the final stages of its cursed life and will cease to exist within the next few years. He urged pilgrims from all countries to pray for the liberation of Palestine and Al-Aqsa Mosque and for the unity of the Muslim ummah.
