Iran’s supreme leader calls Oct 7 attacks a “legitimate” act

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said the October 7 Hamas-led attacks on southern Israel were a “legitimate” act.

He claimed the massacre was justified because it was “logical and legal” and done in self-defence against an oppressor, adding that this principle was recognised under international law.

Khamenei went on to justify Tuesday’s Iranian attack on Israel, in which Tehran bombarded the country with around 180 ballistic missiles.

Per your headline, in what universe is this heinous act justifiable?

No, not on innocents. Innocent civilians aren't the ones making your life miserable.

Khamenei’s supporters once chanted about holding Friday prayers in Al-Aqsa Mosque after the destruction of Israel. However, now they consider conducting Friday prayers in the heart of Tehran as a symbol of their so-called power and bravery.

In today's Friday prayers led by Khamenei, the number of attendees barely reached 100, 000. This is despite the fact that Tehran, the capital, has a population of over 10 million. To create a larger presence, Iran’s intelligence agencies and the IRGC had mobilized forces from various regions across the country, bringing them to Tehran for the event. Despite these efforts, the turnout remained noticeably small, showcasing the decreasing influence and support for the regime even in such heavily orchestrated gatherings. I live in Tehran, and this weak attendance is a significant reflection of the regime’s waning popular legitimacy.
