Khamenei appears to share the hubris of the Left; both seem to think that like God, they can speak something into existence. But declaring victory in Gaza will not make that victory a reality.
“Iran’s Khamenei claims it’s ‘a fact’ Israel has been defeated by Hamas in Gaza,” Times of Israel, November 19, 2023:
TEHRAN, Iran — Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei said Sunday that Israel has suffered a “defeat” in its war against Iran-backed Palestinian terror group Hamas, claiming that this was “a fact.”
In a speech at an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps aerospace force center in the capital Tehran, Khamenei said “the defeat of the Zionist regime in Gaza is a fact.”
“Advancing and entering hospitals or people’s homes is not a victory, because victory means defeating the other side,” he said….

Wishful thinking makes no reality.

Yes the islamic nations under ‘allah’ do want to destroy Jerusalem{ and of course Israel}
{Zechariah 12 v 3}?
What will the Real Biblical God do?
Zechariah 12 v 9
Of course islam does not have a prophecy source..probably due to allah’s amazing lack of omniscience.In fact if allah was the same as the Biblical God then the Iranians would see the catastrophe coming for them but never mind.

1.8 Billion Muslims have tried many times to defeat 15 million Jews since this dried up old fart was born and got their butts kicked every time. What does Ayatollah Ali Cock-a-Mamie have to say about that? I think I know. As always, the Muslims cowards run away, beg for a ceasefire and declare victory.

Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had declared that “the defeat of the Zionist regime in Gaza ” That top Muslim clerics of Iran ,by his words had just exposed his own Islamic day-dream.
The reason why this is so is because God greatly favors Israel and will not let her be be destroyed . As the Bible reads”For the Lord had chosen Jacob for Himself, Israel for his special treasure.” Psalm 135:4. [N.K.J.V.]
Furthermore, all Muslims ,regardless if they mean it or not, claim that they do “respect the Bible.”
Nevertheless Khamenei is also showing that he is actually willingly refusing to accept the Bible’s information that God had given all that land to the Jewish people, as the Bible reveals in Genesis 28:13-15. Deuteronomy 32:48,-50. Psalm 105: 7-11.
Therefore, by that statement of Khamenei had likewise not only xposed his own Islamic fantasy but also willful ignorance of the Bible and his deliberate refusal to accept the truth found in the Bible ,which is a book he he , as a Muslim and other Muslim do claim that they respect.

The Ishmaelites, as descendants of Abraham’s first-born by Hagar, think the promises of the “Promised Land” – and a redeemer, a Madi, a Messiah – belong to them. Esau, from whom Jabob (Israel) bought the blessing for a bowl of stew, then ‘stole’ the inheritance with help from his mother, married Ishmael’s daughter. They’re doubly pized off.
