Khamenei Slams Israel’s Gaza Aid as ‘Genocide’
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has launched a scathing attack on Israel’s method of delivering aid to Gaza. He denounced the process, as reported by Al Jazeera on July 12, 2025, characterizing it as a “cheap form of genocide.”
The strong condemnation comes amidst ongoing tensions in the region. Khamenei’s statement is likely to further inflame already volatile relations between Tehran and Tel Aviv.
This sharp rebuke underscores the deep-seated animosity between Iran and Israel, raising concerns about potential escalation in the already fragile geopolitical landscape of West Asia. The statement’s impact on humanitarian efforts in Gaza and the broader regional stability remains to be seen. The international community will be closely watching for any repercussions.
