US accomplice in Israel 'crimes': Iran's president at ‘Down with America’ rally

Hindustan Times  

Iran's president Ebrahim Raisi accused the United States of being an accomplice in Israeli "crimes" after a rocket struck a hospital complex in war-torn Gaza. Ebrahim Raisi said, “The people of the world consider America to be an accomplice in the crimes of the Zionist regime” as thousands of people gathered in central Tehran in solidarity with the Palestinians. "With the attack on the hospital, the end of the Zionist regime will start," he said, referring to Israel, adding, “Every drop of blood that is shed from the Palestinians brings the Zionist regime one step closer to its fall.” Thousands of people in Tehran were shown on that state television waving flags of Iran, Palestine and Tehran-allied Lebanese militant group Hezbollah as they chanted slogans and held banners that read "Down with America", "Down with Israel" and "Palestine will be liberated". Iran also celebrated the "success" of the attack but insisted that it was not involved in the Hamas onslaught when militants stormed across Israel's southern border on October 7, shooting people in their homes and on the streets which killed some 1,400 people.
