Ayatollah, the leader of Iran’s Islamic Republic, took in thousands of teachers from various cities and provinces across the country on Saturday.
The meeting will be held on the occasion of Teacher’s Day and Martian anniversary of Ayatollah Mortaza Motahari.
For the past few years, meetings have often been held on the day of Motahari’s Martian and Teacher’s Day, but this year, it will be held on May 17th due to a coincidence with the Hajj pilgrimage and the meeting of Hajj agents.
Teachers have held numerous annual meetings with leaders of the Islamic Revolution, and the history of these meetings dates back to the presidency of Imam Khamenei.
Addressing the meeting, the leader responded to recent comments Trump made during his trip to the Arab countries.
“None of the statements made during the US President’s visit to the region deserves a response,” Ayatollah Seiyed Ali Khamenei said.
He added that Trump’s level of comments is so low that it is a source of embarrassment for the speaker and a source of embarrassment for the American state.
“Trump said he wanted to use his power for peace. He lied. He and the American officials, the US government, used their power to massacre Gaza to support their own mercenaries, in order to promote the war they could,” he added.
He continues, “Yes, power can be used for peace and security. That is why we increase the power of our nation every day.
“But they (the Americans) didn’t do that. They use their power to give the Zionist regime Tenton bombs and fall wherever they are in Gaza, hospitals, people’s homes, wherever they are in Lebanon,” the leader emphasized.
Elsewhere in his statement, “The Zionist regime is a dangerous cancerous tumor hanging in the region.”
“It has to be uprooted, it’s uprooted,” he adds.
