Iran's Supreme Leader: The Global Balance of Power Is Tilting toward "Palestine" and Muslims

(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Lt.-Col. (ret.) Michael Segall - Iran is once again trying to present itself as the main power fighting for the Palestinians and the Muslim nation. A poster issued by Supreme Leader Khamenei's office clearly illustrates the changing balance of power. In Tehran's view, the Palestinians have progressed from stones to missiles, while Iranian nuclear power will provide the strategic blanket to enable continued terror and subversive activity. The poster, based on the Supreme Leader's speech on al-Quds (Jerusalem) Day, reads: "Today, the balance of power has shifted in favor of the Muslim world." Khamenei added that today, "the hope of achieving victory is stronger than ever." One of the most prominent features of al-Quds Day is mass "Death to Israel" and "Death to the United-States" marches. Khamenei stressed that Iran is arming Hamas and the Islamic Jihad in Gaza and allowing them to strike a balance in the armed struggle against Israel. IRGC Gen. Asghar Emami, a Quds Force commander, said on May 6: "Whenever we want to strangle America, to exert pressure on it, extract concessions from it, and get what we deserve, we can easily tighten our grip around the throat of the Zionist regime, because it is surrounded from all directions."
