Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran Imam Sayyed Ali Khamenei lauded on Sunday the sacrifices of Palestinian resistance groups against the Israeli regime, as the Islamic Republic unveiled a new generation of Bavar-373 air defense system.
In a meeting with dozens of Quran reciters and memorizers attending the 41st International Holy Quran Competition, Imam Khamenei underscored the imminent victory of people in the besieged Gaza Strip against the occupying entity.
“God willing, Gaza will prevail over the Zionist regime,” the Leader said in the meeting in the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Th Leader underlined the victory of the people of Gaza over the Zionist regime and the American regime as an example of the realization of what seemed impossible.
“If it had been said that the people of the small region of Gaza would fight against a great power like the US and emerge victorious, no one would have believed it, but this impossible matter has been realized by God’s permission,” he said, as quoted by Tasnim news agency.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Imam Khamenei praised Iran’s progress in various domains, saying the country has grown in all directions over the past 40 years.
“The Iranian nation has shown patience and perseverance for over 40 years, while all the arrogant world powers stood against it, working and plotting against it,” the Leader said.
“Yet, not only has the Iranian nation not been harmed, but it has also advanced and grown. Today’s Iran is not the Iran of 40 years ago—we have progressed in every aspect,” he added.
