In a meeting on the eve of the retaliatory operation “True Promise” against the Zionist regime, Imam Khamenei read a verse from a poem he had written several years earlier. The poem, which contains a Quranic allusion, refers to the confrontation between Prophet Moses (pbuh), Pharaoh, and the sorcerers. The translation of this verse from his poem is as follows:
"It's you who has the miracle, of magicians, fearless be
Cast your staff and from serpent's horror do not flee"
