Ayatollah Arafi praised the courageous actions of the IRGC in targeting the American spy drone and stressed, “We aren’t a people of war but we will make any aggressor regret their actions.” RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers at Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi referred to the visit of the Shinzō Abe, the Prime Minister of Japan, with Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, and said, “We must all be proud of the great epic which occurred in the small and simple room of the Supreme Leader during his conversation the Prime Minister of Japan. It demonstrated the frankness and courage of the Supreme Leader at the level of the magnificence of the century and historical greatness. We thank God for this great blessing, this diplomacy was a symbol of a diligent, wise and revolutionary diplomacy against the enemies of the Iranian nation.”
The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran said, “Our diplomacy must see its objective as a principle that has been manifested in the discussion between the Supreme Leader with the Prime Minister of Japan. The symbol of this diplomacy is effective, revolutionary and influential and all statesmen and institutions must be inspired by his dignity, wisdom, rationality, courage and clarity and God-willing, the enemies will be pushed back with abjection and infamy.”
He referred to the discovery and destruction of a vast and complex online spying and intelligence network carried out by American security and intelligence agencies and said, “Many of the world’s spy organizations were surprised by Iran’s technological advancements and infiltration into the cyber networks of the United States. A large amount of work was done and the great evil of the country was repulsed and the country’s scientific and technological strength was displayed to enemies.”
Ayatollah Arafi offered his appreciation to the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) for their “courageous targeting” of the United States’ ultra-advanced UAV and said, “The IRGC defended the security of Iran’s borders with great courage and demonstrated that it’s prepared in the face of the advanced weapons and the series. Contrary to the imagination of the aggressors of the world, Iran demonstrated that it has an advanced system and with divine help, it will defend the Islamic Revolution and Iran against any sort of aggression with power and courage.”
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom emphasized, “The politics and approach of the powerful country of Iran, its great people and its great leader are directed at standing against the invasion. We aren’t a people of war but we’re prepared against any aggression and we will make any aggressor regret their actions. We stand against the economic, military, security and intelligence terrorism of the enemies. Contrary to their imagination today – due to their betrayal, villainy and malice – the clear slogan of Islam, the Revolution and the people, namely, ‘Down with America,’ is still resonant.”
In regard to the floods which hit 26 of Iran’s 31 provinces from mid-March to April, Ayatollah Arafi called for jihadi forces, the people and organization to pay attention to the flood victims and added, “Reports from the flood-stricken areas show that the presence and assistance of the people has decreased. The flood victims, especially in Khuzestan and Lorestan are suffering greatly. Unfortunately, the promises made have not been implemented, which must be handled by the officials.”
