News - Middle East: Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmail Khatib says the United States and all those governments that support Israel will have to pay a heavy price for the regime’s atrocities in the besieged Gaza Strip.

“They must await a divine revenge that will befall them through the public. It will be a harsh, destructive, mortal and annihilating revenge for the Zionist regime and its advocates,” Khatib said on Saturday.

“Regardless of the fact that freedom-loving people and much of the international community are supportive of the Palestinian nation, the US president made a trip to the occupied territories, trampled on the blood of the oppressed and voiced support for the Zionist regime.”

Khatib underscored that the oppressed, defenseless and ordinary people of Palestine are facing violence, injuries and destruction on a daily basis, “all of which originate in the United States.”
