Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei made the remarks on Wednesday during a meeting with students from across the country, ahead of the National Student Day and the National Day of Fight against Global Arrogance, which Iranians celebrate on November 4.
“What Muslim states must insist on is the immediate cessation of [Israeli] crimes in Gaza. They must promptly stop the bombardment of Gaza, and stop the export of oil and foodstuff to the Zionist regime,” he said, Press TV reported.
“Muslim states must not cooperate economically with the Zionist regime, but denounce these catastrophes and crimes vociferously and without hesitation in all international forums,” he noted, adding, “The scale and circumstances of what is going on must be clarified. The Zionist regime must be condemned, and the entire Muslim world must be mobilized against it.”

The Leader lauded the Palestinians for their resistance and steadfastness in the face of Israeli atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip, stating that their resilience has aroused the human conscience.
His remarks come amid relentless Israeli strikes at the besieged Gaza Strip that has so far killed more than 8,500 people, mostly women and children, since the start of the war with Hamas on October 7.

Israel to be 'crippled in days' without US support
Pointing to the humiliating blows that the patience and resistance of the people of Gaza have inflicted on the reputation of the fake usurping regime and its Arrogant supporters, he said, "In the absence of the US’s comprehensive support, the Zionist regime will be crippled in a matter of days."
Referring to the reliance of the Zionists on US support, Imam Khamenei pointed out that, "If it were not for the support of the United States and its arms support, the corrupt, fake, and fictitious Zionist government would have collapsed that very first week. Thus, the atrocities in Gaza today by the Zionists have in fact been created with the support of and at the hands of the US."
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution denounced the Zionist regime for killing 4,000 children in three weeks, describing it as an unprecedented crime in history.
Emphasizing the vigilance of the Islamic nation regarding the events in Gaza, which is actually a field of conflict between "truth and falsehood" and "faith and arrogance", he said, “The power of the Arrogant [Powers] is attained via the use of bombs, military pressure, atrocities and crimes, whereas the power of faith will overcome all of these by God’s grace.”
