Ayatollah Sa’idi stated that any path which ends with the United States is a dead end and insisted that officials must not make calculated mistakes and suggest a referendum out of fear and illusion. RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers at Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi referred to November 4th, the National Day of Fighting Against the Arrogant Powers and stated, “There were several major events which occurred on November 4th that point to the evils of the United States – the exile of Imam Khomeyni, the killing of students and the capture of the Den of Spies [American embassy].”
Referring to the enemies’ acts of sedition in Iraq and Lebanon, the custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah continued, “Today, the Iranian people have witnessed the American-Israeli sedition in Iraq and Lebanon which has its roots in the insecurity, backwardness, divisiveness and looting of property by the United States’ Embassy in Iraq.”
He said, “November 4th is a symbol of Iran’s independence and freedom and confrontation with the hegemonic powers and the blessings of the Islamic Republic of Iran for not compromising with the United States and rejecting its dominance.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said that the marches on November 4th must be in the balance of the Iranian nation and added, “Given Iran’s recent victories, missile power and resistance against the sanctions, it’s necessary for all people, especially the officials, to participate in the glorious November 4th marches and all shout ‘Death to America.’”
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Qom added, “Today, the call to revive and strengthen the slogan of ‘Death to America’ is like piety and religiosity, jihad, fighting, and acting on the commandments of the Holy Quran. We must not compromise with the Americans and our enemies. The Front of Unbelief, Hypocrisy and Arrogance always offers negotiations to bring us to compromise and to abandon the beliefs and practices of faith. Some who consider themselves as ‘rationalists’ among the people declare compromise with the United States as expedient.”
He reiterated, “The experience of the Iranian people’s struggles and the vows of the enemies, especially the Americans, show that one must not compromise with such hegemonic powers. The enemies have used negotiations as a tactic to continue its dominance and oppression but the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] and the Iranian people exposed the Americans’ deception and didn’t make any calculated mistake.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “It’s a great mistake that some people think that the United States and some European countries make up the whole world. Islamic Iran has rational relations with the entire world, except with the United States and the Zionist regime, which are the symbols of oppression and plundering. This is clear and has been repeatedly announced by the Supreme Leader and no one should suggest a referendum out of fear and illusion.”
