Khamenei Cites Saddam
In a message on Saturday, Iranian Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei recalled the eight-year Iran-Iraq War and spoke of the deep religious ties between the two peoples, amid escalating military threats from Iran. Analysts said the speech reminded Iranians of their country’s ability to sustain a prolonged confrontation. They also said it sought to mobilize Iran’s allies in the region and attract new ones, giving it significance beyond Iran’s domestic sphere and extending its reach to Iraq. They warned against overlooking Iraq’s Arab identity, while noting that any attack on Iran could have major repercussions for both countries, which share a border of more than 1,400 kilometers and have multifaceted ties.
