The Leader of the Islamic Revolution said the hegemonic powers’ policy in the 
region today is to create rifts and conflicts among Muslims and among the people 
of the Muslim countries, adding, "The only way to counter this policy of the 
criminal US and Zionists is to identify enemy plots and stand up to them.”
Ayatollah Khamenei described as momentous the responsibility of Islamic 
governments and the political, religious and cultural elites of Islamic Ummah in 
the resistance of nations against hegemonic policies and pointed to the 
objectives behind the creation of the bogus Zionist regime, saying, "One of the 
main goals of the establishment of this regime is to trigger disputes and cause 
problems among Muslim nations; however, all historical experiences indicate that 
the Zionist regime, which faces a legitimacy problem, will not endure.” 
He stressed that the establishment of overt or covert diplomatic ties by some 
weak-kneed regional countries with this occupier regime or the US move to 
relocate its embassy to al-Quds will not solve any of the Zionist regime’s 
problems. He added, "This regime has been formed based on bullying, 
intimidation, murder and the expulsion of a nation from their land and, 
therefore, the illegitimacy of the Zionist regime has been etched in the hearts 
of the Islamic nations and the map of Palestine cannot be erased from the 
historical memory of the world geography.” 
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution once more underscored the need for a 
referendum among true Palestinians, whether Muslim, Christian or Jew, and the 
establishment of Palestine’s government system based on this referendum, saying, 
"The conducting of such a referendum and the establishment of a Palestinian 
government based on Palestinian votes in fact means the destruction of the bogus 
Zionist regime, which will certainly materialize in the not-so-distant future.”
At the end of his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei stressed, "With the destruction of 
the Zionist regime, the Islamic Ummah will achieve its unity and dignity.”
Prior to the remarks of the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Iranian President 
Hassan Rouhani stressed that the climate of spirituality, unity, confidence and 
hope for the future should be enhanced, reiterating, "What should stand by the 
administration is the strength of the other branches [of the government] and the 
people in particular.” 
The president described the enemy as inexperienced and unwise at the current 
juncture, adding, "The decision of the enemy is to trample on not only its 
commitments vis-à-vis the Iranian nation but all of its regional and 
international obligations.”
Rouhani said, "It is a surprise that a [world] power whose hands are stained 
with the blood of the people of this region from Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and 
Yemen to other areas, has put a mask of peace-seeking on its face and speaks of 
negotiations and peace, and a usurper regime which kills people on a daily basis 
has turned to [the tactic of] roaming around to portray a false and mendacious 
image of the Islamic Republic Establishment and the Iranian people.”
Rouhani said, "Today, world countries and people, Iran’s trade partners, Europe, 
Russia, China, neighbors, Muslims and all countries must stand up to the 
bullying by the rulers of the White House.”
