'Ali Khamenei: We condemn the Zionists' crime in Palestine. The barbaric behavior of the Zionist pillaging regime in the State of Palestine towards the population, destroying homes, killing children, killing a crippled, sick old man like Sheikh Ahmad Yassin, turning thousands of Palestinian children into refugees ? we denounce these horrific crimes and send a curse to those who committed these crimes and to America who supports these criminals.

'Ali Khamenei: Despite the enemy's claims, we are not involved in Iraq's affairs. Iraq belongs to the Iraqi people. The occupiers must not remain in Iraq for even one more day. Not a drop of Iraqi oil belongs to them. They must not appoint even one man to a position in Iraq. They are nobodies.

'Ali Khamenei: We believe that today, in comparison to last year, America's business in Iraq is more entangled and will get more entangled with every day that goes by. Whether America accepts it or not, whether it wants to or not, it has failed in Iraq. Thus far, it has failed.
