Activist Calla Walsh praises Khamenei and declares America ‘humiliated’

Activist Calla Walsh says the Islamic Republic has emerged stronger than ever and calls Ayatollah Ali Khamenei the greatest anti-imperialist leader of her lifetime. “The US and Israel were mistaken in thinking that by assassinating the leader they could overthrow the Islamic Republic,” Ms Walsh said. “The people are more determined than ever in favour of the revolution and in defending the Islamic Republic, in defending Iran’s sovereignty. “The US has been more humiliated than it has ever been before in its history. “He [Khamenei] was a leader to all people in the world who struggle against imperialism, against arrogance, against Zionism, against genocide. “To me, he was the greatest anti-imperialist leader to have lived during my lifetime.”
