Ayatullah Khamenei Warns: Thunder Will Fall on Israel in Case of Attack

The Supreme Leader of Iran, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei said that “Today, the Iranian nation is by far more powerful compared to the beginning of the revolution in terms of political power and the power to influence global developments.

The leader added that one of the examples of the progress of the Iranian nation is overcoming all political, military, security and economic challenges that aimed to destroy the establishment over the past 33 years.

“What the enemies of Iran fear, and must fear, is not a nuclear Iran but the Islamic Iran,” the Leader pointed out.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in the commemoration ceremony of the 23rd anniversary of the passing of the late founder of the Islamic Republic, Ayatollah Seyyed Rouhollah Khomeini.

A large number of people and officials are attending the ceremony at Imam Khomeini’s mausoleum in the south of the Iranian capital, Tehran.

Every year, millions of Iranians from across the country travel to Tehran to pay tribute to the late founder of the Islamic Republic.

Thunder Will Fall on Israel in Case of Attack

Imam Khamenei warns Israel of thunder if the Zionist entity attacks the Islamic Republic, stressing that talks about an Iranian atomic danger is based on a lie.

If the Israelis “make any misstep or wrong action, it will fall on their heads like thunder,” Khamenei said in a speech marking the 1989 passing away of the founder of the Islamic Revolution, Grand Ayatollah Imam Sayyed Ruhollah Khomeini.

Allegations that Iran was trying to develop atomic bombs were false, his eminence added.
“International political circles and media talk about the danger of a nuclear Iran, that a nuclear Iran is dangerous. I say that they lie. They are deceiving,” Imam Khamenei said.

“What they are afraid of — and should be afraid of — is not a nuclear but an Islamic Iran.”

“They invoke the term ‘nuclear weapons’ based on a lie. They magnify and highlight the issue in their propaganda based on a lie. Their goal is to divert minds and public opinion from the (economic) events that are happening in the US and Europe,” the Leader added.

Imam Khamenei also called the stance by the United States and its Western allies “crazy”.

“The Iranian people have proved they can progress without the United States, and while being an enemy of the United States,” his eminence said.
