He made the remarks during a Sunday ceremony attended by students mourning Arba’een, the 40th day after the martyrdom anniversary of Imam Hussein (AS), the third Shia Imam.
Ayatollah Khamenei said that the battle has been “ongoing” between the Husseini front, which is fighting against oppression, and the front of injustice and oppression.
“The fight between the Hosseini front and the Yazidi front is not terminable,” he added.
The Leader also noted that these two fronts had existed before the era of Imam Hussien (AS) until today and it will remain the case.
“This war has different forms. In the era of sword and spear, it has one form. In the era of atom and artificial intelligence, it has another. But it exists,” he asserted.
