Khamenei claims that while Israel and America seek to disarm Hamas, Iran says “the opposite … the Muslim World has a duty to arm the Palestinian nation by all means.”
Iran, a staunch Hamas ally, does not recognize Israel and supports militant anti-Israeli groups such as the Palestinian Hamas and Lebanon’s Shiite Hezbollah group.
Khamenei spoke at a prayer ceremony in Tehran as Shiite Iranians marked the beginning of Eid al-Fitr holiday that follows the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
