RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers in Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi referred to the establishment of the Zionist regime as a collaboration between the United Kingdom and the United States and noted the crimes of this usurping regime against Muslims and said, “This criminal regime hasn’t spared any crimes against the Islam ummah.”
The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “According to divine will, the Islamic Revolution in Iran achieved victory and as it was able to confront this criminal and usurping regime and today we see that the slogan ‘Death to Israel’ become a strategic slogan in Iran and the world.”
He noted, “One of the most important and effective issues in managing the Islamic Revolution and the country and in order to promote the transcendental goals of Islam is unity of the seminary and university and the advancement of the cultural revolution and the attention to the great stratum of university students and seminarian.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi honoured Student Day and said, “December 7th reminds us of the revolutionary epic of dear students in confrontation with the stubborn enemies and arrogant United States. On this day in 1953, a group of revolutionary students protested against the official visit of the Vice President of the United States, Richard Nixon, and the resumption of relations between Iran and the United Kingdom and were killed by the Shah’s police forces.”
The representative of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] in Qom said December 7th reminds us of the interference of the United States and the United Kingdom in Iran’s internal affairs and the plundering of the country’s national wealth and the disregard of the independence, freedom and dignity of the Iranian people and added, “Student Day teaches that revolutionary and committed students must be on the path of independence, freedom progress, national dignity, the authority of Islamic Iran and resistance against the evil enemies.”
Referring to the terrorist attack in the strategic southeastern Iranian port city of Chabahar on December 6th, he said, “When the terrorist who sought to enter the Chabahar police headquarters was confronted with the resistance of the brave police officers, he blew himself up and two of the brave policemen were martyred and forty people were injured.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “For many years, the people of Iran have been standing up for the Islamic system with their lives and property and by offering their martyrs. On the eve of the fortieth anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, those who resisted with their lives, property and their power for the Islamic system, will never abandon their system despite these blind acts of terror, but rather they will give them and their masters an unforgettable lesson with their broader efforts.”
His Eminence stressed, “Everyone must know that the security of the Islamic Republic is a red line for all of us. The enemies must know that with this blind terrorism, their wish to disturb the security of the Islamic Republic will be taken to the grave. The haters of Islam and those who want to eliminate the security of society must know that they will be treated in accordance with the ruling of the Holy Quran. The punishment of those who fight against God and His Prophet and those who spread corruption on earth is death.”
