It has been 45 years since the Islamic Revolution, which established the current anti-American regime in Iran, and President Raisi once again criticized Israel and the United States for their deepening conflict over the situation in the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
In Iran, the pro-American Pahlavi monarchy was overthrown by popular demonstrations during the Islamic Revolution of 1979, and the current system of ``unity of religion and politics'' ruled by Islamic jurists was established.
Since then, Iran has adopted a strong anti-American policy and views Israel as an enemy, accusing it of continuing to occupy Jerusalem, which is home to Islam's holy sites.
On the 11th, marking the 45th anniversary of the revolution, commemorative ceremonies were held in various parts of Iran, and many citizens gathered in squares and streets, some of them raising Palestinian flags to show solidarity with the residents of Gaza. I was there.
In a speech in the capital Tehran, President Raisi said, ``If you want to know about Israel and the United States, just look at the war crimes committed against the Palestinian people. It is the United States that is defending these crimes.'' He condemned Israel, which continues to carry out military operations in the area, and the United States, which continues to provide military support.
Iran is backed by Islamic organizations such as Hamas, and President Raisi reiterated his support for Palestine, saying, ``The West is desperately trying to stop us from supporting Palestine, but this issue is a top priority for the Islamic world.'' He emphasized that he will continue to provide support to the Japanese side.
