Former Hizbullah Secretary-General Subhi Al-Tufayli: Khamenei And Hizbullah's Leaders Must Face Trial, Those Who Have Failed Must Be Punished, And Criminals Must Be Put To Death

Former Hizbullah Secretary-General Subhi Al-Tufayli said in a video posted to his YouTube channel on September 20, 2024 that Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei has been ruling Iran for 36 years and that corruption has spread throughout Iran under his watch because he punishes Iranians for complaining that they are hungry instead of looking for enemies among his people. He said that the real failure today is in Tehran, and that the pager explosions in Lebanon show that Khamenei, Hizbullah's leaders in Lebanon, and everybody who surrounds them should face proper trials, with those who are remiss facing punishment while the criminals are put to death.

Subhi Al-Tufayli: "Khamenei – the president of Iran was killed, many scientists have been killed, and there have been bombings, and the martyr Haniyeh was killed... We all know full well that corruption has filled Iran, and that the collaborators are firmly settled in Iran in its entirety.

"For how long have you been in power, my dear? Since 1989. That is 35 or 36 years. For 36 years, the corruption has been growing, because of the gang that you are heading. 'You scratch my back and I'll scratch yours.' and the corruption is spreading. Do you know why? Because you do not seek out the enemy. You seek out your own people, your own children. If someone takes to the street and says 'I'm hungry,' you defend the [Islamic] Republic by killing him.

"Now do you know why? The real failure is not here [in Lebanon]. Here they failed too and they bear the responsibility, but their main man I Tehran [has failed]. This [pager] incident should send them all – beginning with Khamenei, through the Hizbullah leaders in Lebanon, and ending with all the people surrounding them – to face the courts. This should be a real and genuine trial. It should be pure, accurate, and without fear or love of anyone, and all the people who failed should be punished, and every criminal should be put to death."
