We also thank the people of Qom, which had the largest number of pilgrims from any province in Iran and who welcomed thousands of people from countries around the world. We must thank the dear Iraqi people for their good reception and preparation of such an epic pilgrimage.”
The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran pointed to Passive Defence Week, “The preparation of all apparatuses and departments for the difficult conditions of passive defence is a public duty and everyone must give attention to it because in a passive defensive war, the least damage is imposed on society and everyone must give attention the principles of this defence.”
Ayatollah Arafi commemorated the martyrdom anniversary of Martyr Mohammad-Hoseyn Fahmideh on Student Basij Week and emphasized that the nature and morality of resistance and courage must be institutionalized in the current generation of brave youth and adolescents through mobilization. We’re hopeful that we will continue to see the growth and education of the brave youth and adolescents to protect the country from danger.”
In another part of his speech, the jurisprudent member of the Guardian Council referred to the recent developments in Iraq and Lebanon, “The government and officials in Iraq and Lebanon must address the problems of the people and meet their needs, eliminate corruption in the administrative, political and judicial institutions and heed the advice of the sources of emulation and Hezbollah.”
Ayatollah Arafi added, “Governments must respect people’s opinions, but people must also know that the enemies have been wounded by the Islamic Revolutionary Front and are trying to harm the discourse of the Islamic Revolution, the Islamic Resistance and the resistance-oriented countries and therefore, the people must be vigilant. We also saw this during the sedition of 2009 and the foreign agents, the United States, Israel and their stooges are seen in such incidents and the people must be vigilant.”
His Eminence said, “The enemies must know that they can’t take this from uneducated people and can’t use these chaos to wipe out the resistance and they must know that the Islamic ummah and all those who they have harmed over the past several centuries have stood against them. With these moves they can’t conquer the Islamic Ummah and the Islamic Resistance and the Islamic Resistance and the discourse of the Islamic Revolution will continue in its proud way.”
