Iran Supreme Leader, Sayyid Ali Khamenei. 

An open letter to American university students

I write this open letter to the young people whose awakened conscience has driven them to advocate for the oppressed women and children of Gaza.

Dear Students,

This message serves as an expression of our empathy and solidarity with you as you stand on the right side of history amid shifting tides.

You have formed a branch of the Resistance Front, starting an honorable struggle against your government's relentless support of the zionist regime.

The broader Resistance Front, sharing your sentiments, has long waged a similar battle against the egregious oppression inflicted upon the Palestinian nation by the Zionist network.

For years, this regime has “subjected Palestinians to severe pressures and torture after seizing their land.”

The ongoing mistreatment is a continuation of decades of extreme oppression.

Palestine, with its rich history and diverse population of Muslims, Christians, and Jews, has endured the repercussions of the Zionist incursion facilitated by the British government post-World War II. Reports show the United States emerged as the primary backer of the regime, allegedly providing unwavering political, economic, and military assistance.

Since its inception, the Zionist regime has employed a policy of iron-fisted brutality against the defenseless Palestinian population, escalating its repression with each passing day.

Despite the heinous crimes unfolding in Gaza, the United States and its allies have failed to condemn this state terrorism adequately. Their responses ring hollow in the face of such atrocities.

The Resistance Front, buoyed by the establishment of the Islamic Republic of Iran, has emerged as a beacon of hope in this grim landscape.

The global Zionist elite, wielding influence, vilifies this courageous resistance movement as "terrorism." But can a people defending their land against occupying forces rightfully be labeled as terrorists? Is aiding such a nation an act of terrorism?

The leaders of global hegemony distort fundamental human concepts, portraying the Israeli regime as acting in self-defense while branding the Palestinian Resistance as “terrorists.”

I assure you, the tides are turning. A different future awaits West Asia as global consciousness awakens, and truth prevails.

The Resistance Front gains strength by adhering to fundamental principles, as outlined in the Quran. The support and solidarity are pivotal amidst government pressures and brutality.

The Quran teaches us to stand for what is just and to reject oppression. “So be steadfast as you have been commanded.”

The Quran's lesson for human relations is: "Do not oppress and do not be oppressed"

The Resistance Front, guided by these principles, will prevail with the permission of God.

I urge you to acquaint yourselves with the teachings of the Quran.
