WORDS OF HATE
Iran’s ruthless Ayatollah sends LETTER to US students backing them over Gaza protests & says they’ve ‘joined resistance’
The despot asked American students to 'become more familiar with the Quran'
IRAN's tyrannical supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has sent a chilling letter to American uni students backing them over protests against the war in Gaza.
The ruthless dictator expressed his "empathy and solidarity" with the demonstrators for sparking an anti-Israel movement on top college campuses as he claimed they are "on the right side of history".

The widespread protests have seen cops clash with the students, and they have been accused of spreading anti-semitic hatred.
In his bizarre letter, Khamenei told the students they had now formed a "branch of the Resistance Front" against what he said was oppression of the Palestinians.
Khamenei's message, which was posted on X, formerly Twitter, has received widespread backlash from people who have accused the Islamic dictator of brutal human rights abuses.
The regime under Khamenei's theocratic leadership has increasingly oppressed Iran's young population through various campaigns launched to silence them.
These include hundreds of executions and a massive crackdown on dissent.
The ruthless despot in his letter praised the students for demonstrating against Israel and even lauded the support they received from the university professors as a "consequential development" for the anti-Israel campaign.
He wrote: "Dear university students in the United States of America, this message expresses our empathy and solidarity with you. As the page of history turns, you are standing on the right side."
Khamenei's ruthless regime has been widely accused of oppressing their own people - especially women.

And his security forces have been accused of killing those who oppose them.
Calling the anti-Israel protests in the top American universities an "honourable struggle", the despot added that a "different fate" awaits for Palestine.
Khamenei even offered the American students protesting against Israel some advice - calling them to "become more familiar with the Quran".
Since April, thousands of students have been arrested during hurtful anti-Israel protests across the top college campuses in America - including New York University and Columbia University.
Many Jewish students, as well as the members of the faculty, have complained they don't feel safe - and the protests have forced them to leave the campuses.
Dame Karen Pierce, Britain's top diplomat in America, previously said she fears hate-filled pro-Palestine protests could hit universities at home.
Talking to The Sun’s Political Editor Harry Cole on a US special edition of our Never Mind The Ballots show, Karen spoke out as the demonstrations led to a wave of disorder and arrests as Jewish students face anti-Semitic harassment.
Criticising Khamenei's provocative letter, one social media user wrote: "Lessons about oppression coming from [Khamenei] is a bit too much. In his own country, women don't have the basic rights and freedom and they face a lot of oppression."
While another added: "Instead of interfering in other nations' matters the leader should instead focus on his own country where people are executed daily."
REIGN OF TERROR
Iran has seen a huge surge in human rights abuses, suppression of democratic activism, support for terrorism, warmongering, and threats to global stability.
Over the past year, Iranian authorities have committed strings of horror crimes to eliminate any challenge to their iron grip on power.
These include hundreds of unlawful killings, tens of thousands of arbitrary arrests, widespread torture, including rape of detainees and widespread harassment of victims’ families who call for truth and justice, Amnesty International reports.
In October, a teenage girl in Tehran was fatally wounded by Morality Police - Iran's Islamic vice squad upholding its religious morals - when she attempted to ride the subway to school without wearing a headscarf.
The incident once again reminded Iran's public of the chilling case of Mahsa Amini - the 22-year-old girl who was beaten to death by Hijab enforcers in 2022.
Violent protests erupted across Iran and demonstrators clashed with police, hurling rocks and bottles as well as setting fires in several cities.
WARMONGERING
Iran has been deemed the biggest state sponsor of terrorism and the regime's ruthless terror-waging wing, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), has been accused of carrying out global terrorist attacks.
For decades, the country has fostered terrorism and supported conflict in the region through its proxy war groups such as Hezbollah in Lebanon, Houthis in Yemen, and Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
Reports seen by The Sun showed the primary location where the IRGC has been providing the Houthis with Naval training.
And as Israel continues its brutal offensive that is tearing apart the bomb-blitzed Gaza Strip, Iranian proxies continue to unleash hell on the sidelines.
Ex-British colonel Richard Kemp warned the West "must strike" Iran's murderous terrorist army now.

The former army officer told The Sun: "It's deeply worrying what Iran is doing across the region, and even beyond... fermenting and supporting conflict."
He said nuclear-capable Iran "only understands force" - and military action will be the quickest way to end the Middle East crisis that is threatening to explode into a full-blown war.
