(MENAFN- Live Mint) Ayatollah Ali Khamenei delivered a rare sermon on Friday amidst escalating tensions in the Middle East and urged Muslim nations - from Afghanistan to Yemen - to join the 'defence' against Israel. The remarks came days after Iran launched nearly 200 missiles into the other country as part of a retaliatory attack.

“The operation of our armed forces a few nights ago was totally legal and legitimate...it is the minimum punishment for Israeli crimes. The resistance in the region will not back down with these martyrdoms...and will win,” he asserted.

Khamenei delivered his first sermon in nearly five years with a rifle by his side as thousands of worshippers carried portraits of slain leaders of the Iranian "axis of resistance" against Israel and the United States.
