Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, launched into a lengthy anti-Israel diatribe on Twitter Friday as he marked Quds Day, a holiday held in Iran toward the end of the month of Ramadan meant to express support for Palestinians and opposition to Israel’s existence.
The leader, in 25-unthreaded tweets, compared Israel to a “cancerous tumor” and the coronavirus, as he called for the nation to be “uprooted and destroyed.” The ayatollah, who wields complete control over the regime, made similar comments Friday in an in-person speech, according to the Times of Israel
