Khamenei criticised the US for supporting Israel's evil acts in Lebanon and called on the Islamic world to unite against them. "The aggressive nature of America and Israel will revive the spirit of resistance," he said.
"The only way to succeed is to continue resistance against the occupier regime (Israel)," said Khamenei, who has the final say on all matters of state in Iran and who dominates the country's policy on the Middle East conflict. "Iran will stand by ... the brave Lebanese nation and the combatant Palestinian nation."
