RNA – During an Eid sermon delivered by Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad Alamolhoda to a large crowd of worshippers at Mashhad’s Holy Shrine of Imam Ali ibn Musa al-Ridha, His Eminence said that the United States frequently makes claims against Iran but these claims are always without reason and proof.
“Before invading Iraq in 2003, the Americans alleged that Iraq has weapons of mass destruction but after half million Iraqis were murdered, they said ‘we were wrong.’ Then they claimed that Iran is seeking nuclear weapons and announced that Arab countries face two enemies – ISIL and Iran,” he said.
The Friday prayer leader of Mashhad stressed that that the US is a phenomenon which seeks to achieve its goals through its baseless claims and added that Iran should not imagine that all of its challenges with the US will end just because it reached an agreement with the P5+1 group of countries.
In regard to Iran’s economic issues, the revered scholar noted that there's only one way to expand and develop the economy - through strengthening the “resistance economy.”
Ayatollah Alamolhoda said that before the Islamic Revolution, Iran’s gates were open and foreign markets operated freely in the country. “How much development did we have? The greatest advantage of the Islamic Revolution was that it provided opportunities for our local talents and capabilities to flourish,” he said.
