Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei gave a speech in a meeting for a group of Army Air Force commanders commemorating the anniversary of Iran Air Force Day - which comprises the historic pledging allegiance of Air Force commanders with Imam Khomeini on February 8, 1979.

Speaking of the 45th anniversary of the victory of the Islamic Revolution, Sayyed Khamenei brought up internal benefits of the Islamic Revolution, such as the fight against oppression, oppressors, and global bullies while keeping in mind spirituality and religion.

Additionally, he also touched on the Israeli aggression and crimes being committed in Gaza and backed by the US, stating that it is necessary to report the realities in Gaza to form a public demand by the Muslim nations and their respective governments to deal a mighty blow to "Israel".

فلتبقَ «جبهة المقاومة» على أهبة الاستعداد في مواجهة الغصب والاستكبار، ولا تغفلنّ عن مكر العدوّ، ولتضرب حيث تطال يدها، بعون الله.

— الإمام الخامنئي (@ar_khamenei) January 10, 2024

He added that such a blow does not mean going to war with "Israel", but rather, it is cutting off economic ties with the entity, as he criticized some Islamic countries that have maintained ties although the Israeli aggression has killed over 27,000 people in Gaza.

He echoed this call two weeks ago during a meeting with those in charge of a congress of 24,000 martyrs of Tehran Province.

He called out Muslim officials for only voicing issues of no real impact like the ceasefire, as the latter's fate is determined by the occupation only, describing it as making “wrong” statements about "Israel’s" genocidal war on Gaza.

He emphasized that “the issue that is in the hands of the officials of the Muslim countries is to cut off the vital lifelines of the Zionist regime,” then proceeded to urge those countries to sever their political and economic contact with the occupation, insisting that they should not assist it.
