Rasa – The revered source of emulation reacted to the efforts of the United States to declare the IRGC as a terrorists to terrorist organization and stressed that this indicates their frustration, failure and impatience. RNA – In a meeting with a group of members of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) of Qazvin province, Grand Ayatollah Hoseyn Nouri-Hamadani reacted to the United States’ designation of the IRGC as a terrorist organization and stated, “This decision reflects the frustration, failure and impatience of the enemies.”
The source of emulation added, “The United States wants to introduce the IRGC and Hezbollah as a terrorist organization and this represents Donald Trump’s distress. The IRGC are warriors and are favoured by God. Trump and the Americans are terrorists in the literal meaning of the word and wherever they have gone, we have seen nothing except for destruction and criminal actions. Who is Trump to declare the IRGC a terrorist organization?”
He stated that the activities of the IRGC are in the direction of the dignity and greatness of Islam and the Islamic Revolution and added, “The commanders of the IRGC also issued warnings about this vicious decision. Islamic Iran has abundant power to give a decisive answer in the case of an attack by the enemies.”
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani celebrated the arrival of the jihadi armed forces, especially the IRGC, to serve Islam and the Islamic Revolution in all fields and said, “If it wasn’t for the help of Iran’s armed forces, especially the IRGC, Iraq and Syria couldn’t achieve victory over the enemies’ conspiracies in creating and supporting Daesh.”
His Eminence added, “Imam Khomeyni said that God provided all the prophets whom He chose with two powers – the book of guidance and jihad. All goodness is in the shadow of jihad and in Islam, jihad is never closed and the spirit of jihad must be pursued in all respects.”
He argued that the Islamic society and Muslims can’t remain silent and indifferent in the face of the enemies and stated, “The duty of the Islamic ummah is to engage in jihad in all respects to neutralize the enemies’ plots.”
Ayatollah Nouri-Hamadani added, “During the Sacred Defence era [Iran-Iraq War] the jihadis were able to strengthen the greatness of Islam and the progress of the Revolution. The IRGC chose a jihadi occupation to serve the cause of Islam and the Revolution with their jihadi spirit.”
He stated that the enemies have turned the war from a hard war to a soft war against Islam and the Revolution and added, “Insight, courage and religious culture are very important in confronting the soft war, and we must confront the soft war in an intelligent manner.”
