The Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei received thousands of teachers from different cities and provinces across the country on Saturday.
The meeting is being held on the occasion of the Teachers Day and the martyrdom anniversary of Ayatollah Mortaza Motahhari.
In previous years, the meetings were often held on the day of martyrdom of Motahari and Teacher's Day, but this year, due to the coincidence with Hajj pilgrimage and the meeting of Hajj agents, it is held on May 17.
Teachers have had numerous annual meetings with the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and the history of these meetings dates back to the presidency of Imam Khamenei.
Adressing this meeting, the Leader reacted to recent remarks made by Trump during his trip to Arab states.
"None of the statements made during the US President's visit to the region are worthy of a response at all," Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei said.
The level of Trump's remarks is so low that it is a source of embarrassment for the speaker and a source of embarrassment for the American nation, he added.
"Trump said he wanted to use power for peace; he lied. He and American officials, American governments, used power to massacre Gaza, to foment war wherever they could, to support their own mercenaries," he added.
He went on to say, "Yes, power can be used for peace and security. That is why we will increase the power of our country every day, God willing."
"But they (Americans) didn't do that. They used their power to give the Zionist regime ten-ton bombs to drop on the children of Gaza, on hospitals, on people's homes, in Lebanon, and wherever they could," the Leader highlighted.
ٍElsewhere in his remarks, 'Zionist regime a dangerous cancerous TUMOR hanging over region.'
'It must be uprooted and it WILL be uprooted' he adds.
According to Ayatollah Khamenei, the US president is offering regional Arab countries a model that, in his own words, these countries cannot live without the US for even ten days.
“This model has definitely failed,” the Leader noted. “With the struggles of regional nations, the U.S. must and will leave this region.”
Ayatollah Khamenei also called the Israeli regime the “source of corruption, the source of war, and the source of discord” in the region, adding, “The Zionist regime, which is a dangerous and malignant cancerous tumor in this region, must and will be uprooted.”
Elsewhere in his speech, Ayatollah Khamenei expressed gratitude to President Masoud Pezeshkian for paying special attention to education issues.
He underscored the necessity of investment in education as a high priority for the administration.
“I have repeatedly reiterated that whatever we spend on education is actually an investment, not an expense; it is like paving the ground for multiple profits,” the Leader said.
“We should be grateful that during this period, [the administration] is paying special attention to education issues, especially the esteemed president himself,” he added.
