DEBKAfile Special Report
December 29, 2008, 9:01 PM (GMT+02:00)
On Monday, Dec. 29, Day 3 of Israel's Gaza operation, the spokesman said Iran had embarked on preparations for operations against Israel in line with the directives laid down by supreme ruler Ayatollah Ali Khameini in his speech Sunday.
in his speech, Khameini issued a fatwa calling on Muslims to stand up and defend Palestinians against Israel. He said "true believers" were "duty-bound to defend" the Palestinians. Khamenei did not spell out what he intended. The foreign ministry statement said believers killed in their cause would be counted martyrs.
A group of hardline clerics is signing up volunteers to fight "against the Zionist regime" in the Gaza Strip "in either military, financial or propaganda fields." This is reported by the semi-official Fars news agency.
Iranian lawmaker Ali Motahari told the Iranian news agency IRNA that it was time for Iran and Arab nations to go to war with Israel.
DEBKAfile: Egypt has led widespread Arab voices blaming Hamas for the Gaza crisis and accusing Iran of manipulating the Palestinian cause as a power play for its own ends.

Iran-Turkey-Presidents
Presidents of Iran and Turkey in a telephone conversation on Monday underlined the necessity of keeping open the Rafah passage and dispatching help to the Gaza people and pointed out that the Islamic countries should keep pressure on supporters of the Zionist regime to stop its crime.
According to the Presidential Office web site on Monday, President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and his Turkish counterpart President Abdullah Gul said holding emergency meeting of Organization of Islamic Conference (OIC), pressure on supporters of the Zionist regime, and reopening Rafah passage by Egypt are among appropriate ways to prevent more crimes by Israel.

TEHRAN (Reuters) - Iran's president told the Arab League, which meets on Wednesday, it must act quickly to end Israeli attacks on Gaza Palestinians adding that setting up a committee or making speeches was not enough.
But Mahmoud Ahmadinejad did not suggest any specific action by Arab states, some of which had been criticized by non-Arab Iran for not doing enough to help protect Palestinians after more than 380 had been killed.
"If the Arab League does not want to do anything today, when does it want to act?" the president told a rally in Zahedan in southeast Iran.
"Aren't these oppressed Palestinians Arabs? So when should the capacity of the Arab League be used? The Arab League should act quickly," he said in a speech broadcast on state television.
He added that setting up a committee and making speeches was not adequate and would allow Israel to continue its actions....... more on link
