He traditionally issues a Christmas message on or around Christmas Day on his official X account, referring to †Jesus (peace be upon him) in a respectful way consistent with Islamic belief that Jesus is a prophet. �
IRNA English
In past messages, he has spoken about Jesus opposing oppression and injustice — though wording varies by year and source. �
اسلام تايمز
⚠️ What is not fully verified
The specific quoted line “Jesus Christ was sent to save humanity from ignorance & oppression & to guide them to the light of knowledge, justice & servitude to God. This is a lesson for Christians & Muslims believing in his prophethood.” cannot be confirmed from the sources found so far. There is no authoritative direct source from Iranian state media or official translations for exactly that phrasing in 2025.
There are past messages where Khamenei discusses Jesus fighting oppression, but not exactly in the phrasing you gave. �
اسلام تايمز
🧠 Context
Iran’s leadership, including Khamenei, often issues interfaith Christmas messages that recognize Jesus as a revered prophet (not divine) and emphasize justice and resistance to oppression — consistent with Islamic theology. �
اسلام تايمز
Some social posts circulating online may paraphrase or summarize his statements in ways that introduce wording not in the original statements.
📌 Conclusion
Your caption’s general tone (respect for Jesus, emphasis on justice and shared lessons) aligns with how Khamenei’s Christmas messages are framed, but the exact wording you wrote has not been confirmed from reliable official sources available in news and verified reports.

From the North Pole to your screen—Christmas is about love, giving, and joy. 🎄
After a magical journey around the world delivering gifts and smiles to millions of children, Santa Claus made a special stop on Fox & Friends to share the true heart of Christmas. Beyond the presents, the lights, and the celebrations, his message was simple but powerful: Christmas is about kindness, generosity, faith, and remembering one another.
In a world often filled with noise, conflict, and division, this moment was a reminder that compassion still matters, giving still changes lives, and joy is meant to be shared. Whether young or old, rich or poor, Christmas calls us to open our hearts, lift each other up, and spread love wherever we go.
🎄❤️ May the spirit of Christmas live far beyond today—on our screens, in our homes, and most importantly, in our actions.
