Leader of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, Imam Sayyed Ali Khamaeni on Wednesday said some Arab governments are betraying their people and clinging to tyrants instead of clinging to the holy Quran.

Addressing participants at an international Quran competition in Tehran,  Imam Khamenei said some Arab governments are paving the way for the American influence in our nation.

"Some Islamic governments are betraying their people and the Islamic Ummah and paving the way for the American influence."

"Certain (governments) in the Islamic world, instead of clinging to the Qur'an, are clinging to Taghut (tyrants)," the Leader said.

"America is the major Taghut and the Great Satan," Imam Khamenei emphasized.

"Those who are implementing the American policy in the region are adhering to Taghut and do not have disbelief in Taghut," Imam Khamenei added.

The Leader also said Takfiri terrorists and Wahabbi affiliates are doing the enemy's bidding by "consigning the Palestinian issue to oblivion" through their reign of terror in the Middle East.

"Satanic powers are scared of Islam and the 1.5-billion Muslim community," his eminence said, adding tremendous sums of money is being spent to harm Islam and Muslims but "we have no doubt victory belongs to Islam."
