Khomeini’s Grandson: Freedom Is a Core Iranian Value; Iran Was “Subordinate” to Nasrallah

Описание: On June 6, 2025, Ali Ahmad Khomeini, grandson of the leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, appeared on Al-Manar TV (Hizbullah–Lebanon). He spoke about the core values of the Iranian people, saying that Iranians insist on the freedom to express their views, even when those views conflict with the official position of the state or with foreign powers. Khomeini explained that, whether or not it is fully realized, freedom of expression remains the Iranians’ slogan. He added that when people say the Islamic Revolution still lives in the hearts of Iranians, it means that even its critics and rivals have not produced a more compelling slogan than that of its supporters.

Khomeini said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had claimed Hizbullah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah determines the policies of the “Resistance Axis,” and he affirmed this statement saying that Iran was, in fact, “subordinate” to Nasrallah and described it as being “at the tail of the Resistance and Hassan Nasrallah.”
