To the Islamic Republic of Iran, the security and wellbeing of Palestine is not just a security concern, rather, it is more a matter of principle since Jerusalem is considered to be sacred and hallowed ground by all followers of the Abrahamic religions.
According to Imam Khomeini's speech, The issue of Quds is not a personal thing or one exclusive to a country or to Muslims of the world at the present age. It is an event for the monotheists of the world and believers in remote ages, present day and the future, from the day Masjid al Aqsā was founded to the day this planet will rotate in this order of existence. How painful it is for Muslims with all material and spiritual resources of the world at the present age that so much insult is hurled at the holy presence of God and His grand Prophets a place within their near sight by a handful of criminal rogues.
The occupying regime claims the entire city as its capital. Palestinians also want it as the capital of their future state.
Now that the blood of our dear Palestinian youth have weltered the walls of Masjid al Aqsā and are gunned down by a handful of fraudulent people in response to demanding their rightful claim, is it not disdainful for ardent Muslims not to respond to their innocent outcry and not to sympathize with them?
It is hoped that the Beneficent God will favor man and materialize His Qur’anic promise to make the oppressed people victorious over the arrogant powers.
Our people (Palestinians) will stand against those who are promoting normalization regardless of the sacrifices.
Salutations to Quds and to Masjid al Aqsā, greetings to nations rising up against criminal Israel and salutations to Muslims and oppressed peoples of the world.
