صراط عشق صراط عشق
Second Sermon on Friday 27 January 98 Translation of the Arabic Statement by the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution
Bismillah Allah al-Rahman al-Rahim al-Ahmadullah Allah Rabi al-Alam and Sallallah Ali Muhammad and Allaah al-Taherin and Sabah al-Mutabbin
At this critical juncture in the history of this region, I would like to speak briefly to you Arab brothers. In these days, a brave and prominent Iranian commander and a devoted Iraqi mujahideen were martyred by US mercenary troops at the behest of the US terrorist leader. This crime was committed in a completely cowardly way, not on the field. Commander-in-Chief Soleimani was one of the most influential elements in defeating the terrorist elements of ISIS and their allies in Syria and Iraq, with exemplary courage in the ranks and in the most dangerous places. The Americans, without daring to fight him, cowardly attacked the plane at the invitation of the Iraqi government at Baghdad Airport, dropping the blood of him and his companions. For the first time, the blood of the children of Iran and Iraq was mixed and shed on God’s path.
The IRGC counter-attacked, crushing the US base with its missiles, kicking its tyrannical and arrogant government, and its main punishment was expulsion. The people of Iran, together with the tens of millions of these two great mujahideen, were given a unique look. The Iraqi people in many cities paid tribute to them in many cities, and in several other countries, people showed their sympathy in passionate communities.
There were a lot of biased attempts to pessimize the Iranian and Iraqi people, spend a lot of money, employ irresponsible people, propagate evil in Iran against the Iraqi people and in Iraq against the Iranian people; this is a great testimony of all these evil attempts and Abolished the evil temptations.
What I want to tell you is that Islamic power, our power and yours, can overcome the apparent awe of corrupt material powers. Western powers with the backing of science and technology, with military weapons and false propaganda and with counterproductive policies succeeded in dominating the countries of the region, and when forced to leave the country by popular movement, they were able to curb intelligence, political influence and domination. They were economically unstable and embedded the malignant gland of the Zionist regime in the heart of West Asia and provided a permanent threat to the countries of that region.
After the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran, severe political and military strikes on the usurper regime followed, followed by a chain of arrogant defeats, with the US forming Iraq, Syria, Gaza, Lebanon, and Yemen to Afghanistan. The enemy media accuse Iran of proxy wars; this is a great lie. The nations of the region are awakened. Iran’s ability to resist the US atrocities in the long run has had an impact on the public space and morale of the nations. The fate of the region is the salvation of American arrogance and the liberation of Palestine from the rule of the Zionist foreigners.
All nations must bring the time to this end. The Islamic world must eliminate the factors of division. Unity of religious scholars discover Islamic solutions to modern Islamic lifestyle. The collaboration of our universities will enhance science and technology, and will build the foundations of a new civilization. Our media coordination will reform public culture from the root. The communication of our armed forces will remove war and aggression from all over the region. Connecting our markets will lift the economies of our countries out of the dominance of predatory companies. The travels and travels of our people will bring us unity and friendship. Your enemies and us want to secure our economy with the resources of our countries, their dignity with our nations, and their leadership with our division. They want to destroy us and you in our own hands.
The United States demands Palestine to be defenseless against the cruel Zionists, Syria and Lebanon to seize its dependent and mercenary governments, Iraq and its oil wealth. For these sinister purposes, he does not turn away from the greatest of evils and evils. Examples of Syria’s decades-long rigorous test, successive seditions in Lebanon, incitement and continued sabotage in Iraq.
The outrageous assassination of martyr Abu Al-Mahdi, the brave commander of Hashed al-Shaba’i and the martyr Suleimani, the commander-in-chief of the IRGC, is a prime example of this sedition in Iraq. They want to achieve their evil purpose in Iraq by creating sedition and civil war and eventually dismantling Iraq and eliminating believing, militant and patriotic forces. An example of their outrage is that after the Iraqi parliament ordered them to be expelled, those who claimed to be supporters of democracy abandoned the offer and said we were and will not go to stay in Iraq.
The Islamic world must open a new page. Awakened consciences and believing hearts must awaken confidence in the nations. And let everyone know that the only way to save the nations is to persevere and not fear the enemy. May God have mercy upon the Muslim nations.
