RNA – Speaking at a gathering of seminarians and revolutionary scholars of the Islamic Seminary at Qom’s Ma’sumieh Seminary, Hujjat al-Islam Mahdi Taeb, the head of the Ammar Camp, said that Donald Trump, the President of the United States, has shown the reality and nature of American politics to the world and added, “Trump has shown the essence of American politics to everyone. The United States is collapsing today and for this reason, American politicians have introduced Trump as a crazy person, so that if the policies of this country failed, they can blame the problems on the Trump and say ‘this crazy man came and ruined the United States’ but if their policies respond, they would be encouraged.”
The teacher in the Islamic Seminary added, “When Trump tore up the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), he said we were deceived by it because the JCPOA must force a change in Iran’s behaviour in the region but its behaviour in the region has not changed. What the negotiating team told us was that the negotiations with the P5+1 were only in regard to the nuclear issue and thus, it would appear that this incident has many hidden issues.”
He referred to Iran’s power in the region, and emphasized, “Today, Iran stands at the edge of the Golan Heights, and if we conquer it, Israel will be destroyed.”
Referring to the fact that the United States wants to save Israel from destruction through the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT), Hujjat al-Islam Taeb stressed, “Trump once said that Iran could take over the entire Middle East in twelve minutes but due to his actions, it can no longer do such a thing. Trump wants to stop us from conquering the Middle East in twelve minutes by imposing economic pressures on us.”
The Iranian cleric added, “Trump’s purpose in the Middle East is Israel because if Israel is destroyed, the United States can no longer remain in the Middle East and the entire Middle East will be in the hands of Iran. After the murder of [Saudi journalist] Jamal Khashoqji, Trump introduced [the Crown Prince of Saudi Arabia] Muhammad ibn Salman as his murderer in an interview but he explicitly supported him and said ‘if we don’t support Saudi Arabia, they will be destroyed and if they are destroyed, then Israel will be destroyed as a consequence and we will no longer have a place in the Middle East.’”
He said that the enemies won’t retreat from the FATF until Israel is rescued and added, “The United States and Israel are angry at us but because the Islamic Republic has acted in adherence to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in regard to the verse of the Holy Quran, ‘Prepare against them whatever you can of [military] power and war-horses’ [8:60], they have been strongly fearful of Iran.”
Hujjat al-Islam Taeb said that today, the enemies are afraid of Iran, and as a result, they’re seeking to reduce Iran’s missile range, both within the country and in the region, through the FATF and CFT and said, “Today, we must know that the term ‘terrorism’ is defined by the enemies and with their tricks, they decree that Hezbollah, Hamas and Ansarullah are terrorists and must not be funded. By doing so, Iran will no longer have a missile range, not only in the country but also in the region.”
