to report «iusnews»; Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei urged the United States and its European allies to end their supports for Israel in its ongoing military onslaught against the besieged Gaza Strip, stressing that the Palestinian resistance fighters know the way to incapacitate the Zionist regime’s war machine.
Ayatollah Khamenei said on Thursday the US money, military equipment and political assistance are behind all the Israeli crimes against the Palestinian people in the blockaded enclave.
As admitted by the Zionists themselves, the Leader added, they could not have continued the war on Gaza for “a single day” without Washington’s aid.
“Therefore, the Americans are also complicit and responsible for the ongoing tragic incidents” in the Gaza Strip, he emphasized.
Stressing that “the tragedy of Gaza” is “the tragedy of the Muslim world and rather all humanity”, the Leader stated that the United Kingdom and several European states as well as their stooges are also “complicit in the Zionist regime's criminal acts against the Palestinian people”.
Israel has been carrying out heavy bombardment across the Gaza Strip since early October, killing more than 27,800 Palestinians, including thousands of children and women, and wounding over 67,300 others, and levelling entire neighbourhoods. Thousands more are missing and feared buried under the rubble.
Tel Aviv has also imposed a "complete siege" on Gaza, cutting off food, electricity, fuel and water supplies. The move has plunged the blockaded territory into a humanitarian crisis.
American and European officials have promised rock-solid and unwavering support to Tel Aviv. In recent months, President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, UK Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and several others European leaders visited Tel Aviv to show their support for Israel. Tehran says the Western leaders' trips to the occupied territories are aimed at giving artificial respiration to Israel and demonstrate the US' and Europe's concerns over the downfall of the Zionist regime.
The United States has been providing Israel with unconditional military and political support in its onslaught against Gaza, arming Tel Aviv with more than 10,000 tons of military hardware. The US has also torpedoed the prospect of cessation of the Israeli aggression by stonewalling ratification of all UN Security Council resolutions that have been calling for a permanent ceasefire in the Israeli assault.
Iranian officials say the United States is waging a war on Palestinians in the Gaza Strip through Israel, and stress if Washington’s political and military aid to Zionists is cut off, the regime won’t be able to proceed its military campaign against the blockaded territory.
The UK government’s diplomatic backing, military aid and direct involvement in the conflict - through giving intelligence to the Israelis - has also made it complicit in facilitating genocide. The UK military has carried out some 50 spy missions over the Gaza Strip for the Israeli regime since last month, a new investigation has revealed.
Iranian officials have repeatedly stressed that all countries must cut their commercial and political ties with Israel in an attempt to compel Tel Aviv to end its atrocities in the blockaded territory. They also called for the trial of Israeli officials at the international courts over act of war crime and genocide in Gaza, imposing an oil sanction on Tel Aviv as well as expelling the Zionist regime’s ambassadors.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Ayatollah Khamenei stated that the Gaza crisis will end if the Western powers cease their support for the Israeli regime.
“The Palestinian fighters are able to manage the situation on their own and this is why they have not suffered a major blow so far,” he emphasized.
