Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi encouraged the Ukraine invasion right after Putin ordered it. The Islamic Republic’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, continues to stir propaganda against what his country frequently refers to as the “Great Satan,” America. He repeats the nonsense that America is to be blamed for every woe in the world, hoping the world has forgotten about 1400 years of jihad. Many anti-Americans lap up the words of this corrupt leader who severely abuses his people and funds jihad terror globally.
The propagandist Khamenei rambled on for a full hour about the Ukraine war, but “did not mention Russia once.”
Khamenei views Putin as a friend and ally. He once stated that “Russia and Iran need to deepen their cooperation at other levels,” and praised Putin for being a “strong and responsible leader” with whom “you can have dialogue and cooperation.”
In 2015, Putin visited Iran — in a first since 2007 — and presented Khamenei with an old edition of the Quran. Khamenei used this opportunity again to bash America and to pursue a longterm alliance with Russia. Khamenei stated:
“The Americans have a long-term plot and are trying to dominate Syria and then the whole region … This is a threat to all countries, especially Russia and Iran.”
“Iran’s Khamenei: ‘Mafia regime’ of US created Ukraine crisis,” by Maziar Motamedi, Al Jazeera, March 1, 2022:
Tehran, Iran – Iran wishes for the war in Ukraine to end but believes the crisis is rooted in the policies of the United States and other Western nations, Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said.
“In Ukraine, we are in favour of stopping the war,” he said during a televised speech on Tuesday, adding that a crisis can be alleviated only if the “root cause” is known, which he identified as the policies of the Western powers.
Khamenei said the “mafia regime” of the US creates many crises around the globe, which he said also included the creation of ISIL (ISIS), and meddling in other nations’ affairs by forcing regime changes and installing pro-West politicians.
Ukraine has fallen “victim” to such policies and has been dragged to its current situation, the supreme leader said.
In his hourlong speech on the Ukraine war, the supreme leader did not mention Russia once.
Khamenei said two lessons should be learned from the Ukraine crisis by the governments and people around the world: that the West cannot be trusted and that popular support is of utmost importance.
“Support by Western governments for administrations and politicians that have been installed by them is a mirage,” he said, citing the chaotic withdrawal of US-led Western forces from Afghanistan as it fell to the Taliban as an example.
Khamenei said people are the most important backers for governments and that if the Ukrainian people had fully supported their government, they would not be where they are today.
‘Rooted in NATO’
The earlier Iranian reactions to the Ukraine crisis have been in line with the supreme leader’s stance, mainly identifying the US-led NATO as the culprit.President Ebrahim Raisi last week was among the first world leaders to speak with his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin after he ordered the invasion of Ukraine.
In his phone call, Raisi told Putin NATO’s expansion eastwards presents a “serious threat” against the security and stability of independent nations.
“I hope what is happening will end up to the benefit of nations and the region,” Raisi said….

This guy blurts out nonsense all the time. Whether covid or Jews controlling the world, like his koran. I am surprised how the man on the streets in Iran is digesting all this.
islam being in constant war with infidels perhaps justifies all the nonsense of mullahs.
mortimer says
‘raja’ is correct. Islam can only defend itself by CIRCULAR ARGUMENTS, DISTRACTIONS, NON-SEQUITURS, TU-QUOQUE ARGUMENTS aimed at America and Israel and (of course) by DEATH THREATS!
The mullahs have threatened the Iranian people so many times that most of the country is turned off of Islam and cannot be coaxed to return to it.

Of course everything in the universe is the fault of the Americans. Colliding galaxies are the fault of the Americans. When Julius Caesar invaded Gaul, killed 1/3 of the population and enslaved a further third, it was the fault of the Americans. The dinosaurs were wiped out because of the Americans. When will all this stop?
CogitoErgoSum says
It’s great to be an American.
Infidel says
Yeah, it makes it sound like we’re all Jooooooooooooooooooooooooos 😈
mortimer says
Distract – distract – distract! Taqiyya – taqiyya – taqiyya! Calumny – calumny – calumny!
Blah, blah, blah!
The more he talks, the more Iranians leave Islam. Keep talking, Khameini!
John Allan says
He probably doesn’t know WHERE Russia IS!
In fact, he probably doesn’t know THAT it IS!
DazzleMe says
And why is it we want to buy oil from Iran, they hate us. I guess Biden will be sending pallets of cash to them again because we want them to be our friend….
Infidel says
Putin giving Khamenei a quran – ain’t that like carrying coal to Newcastle?
gravenimage says
More of Putin appeasing Muslims, alas.

Iran: Khamenei blames ‘Mafia regime’ of US for Ukraine crisis, doesn’t mention Russia once
………..
Well, of course not. Russia invading Ukraine is not their fault; Hitler invading and conquoring most of Europe was not his fault, and Muslims slaughtering Infidels is not their fault. The victims in each case asked for it…

Leftists and Islamists allied themselves against the NATO, the West and Democratic values. In Turkey, it’s awful to see that leftists and Islamists agree on the claim that “NATO is a terrorist organization” while in fact it is them, leftists and Islamists, are the real terrorists with their hatred and opression of non-Muslims and people in socialist hellholes. NATO is for democratic values. Leftists who defend the brutal dictatorships of Cuba, North Korea, China’s Uighur Genocide, have no right to speak about so-called “terrorism of NATO”.
