Iran's Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei Wednesday condemned the tragic disaster at the Lebanese village of Qana and the silence of UN and the so-called supporters of human rights on the Zionist regime's crimes in Lebanon.

 

In his message to the world of Islam, the Supreme Leader said "The events in Lebanon have exposed the true nature of American human rights, and have revealed the kind of Middle East the American government intends to have."


"Today Hizbullah is on the frontline of the sacred defense of the Muslim ummah and all nations of the region," said Ayatollah Khamenei.

 

"Bush and his American cohorts share the same degree of guilt in the disasters brought upon Lebanon as the evil and wicked Zionist regime. And the silence of the United Nations and many of the western governments and above all the support by some governments, such as the notorious British government, make them accountable and partners in crime in varying degrees in contemporary and future judgment of humanity and in the day of reckoning and divine judgment day," said the Leader.

 

According to IRNA, the Iranian leader stressed that more than ever before the Muslim nations loathe America. Their governments, even those that are constrained because of political considerations, loath and oppose the American government because of so much outrageous and arrogant aggressions.

 

"The American regime must expect a hard slap on the face and the crushing fist of Muslim ummah because of its support for the crimes and the Zionist criminals and its blatant violation of the rights of Muslim nations.

 

"The resistance of the people of Lebanon and the heroic struggles of Hizbullah and power arising from their faith, endurance and trust in God is another sign of awakening in the Islamic world and a mark of their firm resolve against animosities and hostilities.

 

"The iron fist of the faithful, brave and innocent youth of Lebanon has landed on the hideous face of the aggressors and has broken the glassy shield of their conceited and drunken vanity," said the Leader.
