Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei stated that the ongoing conflicts in Gaza and Lebanon have killed 50,000 people over the last year in a Saturday post to X/Twitter.
Ongoing events in #Lebanon & #Gaza have resulted in the martyrdom of 50,000 ppl in the last year, mostly women & children. Is this a small matter? The US that claims to be an advocate of human rights, supports & is complicit in those crimes. Plans & weapons used are from the US.
