The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “The Iraqi Prime Minister has shown that he is interested in expanding relations with Iran. Of course, there are opponents to expanding Iran-Iraq relations, led by the United States, but we must not be afraid because, according to the leaders of the Islamic Revolution, ‘America can’t do a damned thing.’”
He stating that the strategy of active resistance is the solution against the evil and terrorist United States, said, “The Americans must know that in the face of any crime they commit, they must wait for revenge and a severe blow to the believers.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi added, “The people of Iran and Iraq will never forget the assassination of Haj Qasem Soleymani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. The Supreme Leader said in this meeting that your guest was killed in your house and confessed to this crime and that the Islamic Republic will definitely strike back at the Americans.”
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Qom emphasized, “What is important for Iran in bilateral relations is interests, benefits, security, dignity and the improvement of the situation in Iraq and Iran and it wants a dignified, powerful and independent Iraq.”
He went on to point out the negative and positive consequences of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) and said, “Human casualties, challenges to the world economy and stagnation in production are some of the negative effects of the Coronavirus, but the virus has caused good things such as preparation for biological warfare, the greater unity of people and officials, proving the effectiveness of jihadi action, Iran’s power in public mobilization and public aid. It was realized and we saw that everyone worked, everyone realized that the pillars of the Islamic Republic, especially the health sector, are not only not behind Europe and the United States, but are more efficient.”
Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “During the Coronavirus, the evil nature and hostile performance of the dissident media were exposed. During the fight against the Coronavirus, it was proved that if the production sector enters the work with a revolutionary spirit and jihadi performance and if the government seriously and practically supports the producers, a boom in production will be achieved.”
The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah referred to the events of July 31, 1987, the anniversary of the martyrdom of the pilgrims of the House of God at the hands of the mercenaries of House of Saud, “While the people were performing the Hajj rites, the Saudi mercenaries and the puppet agents of the criminal United States shot and committed crimes against the pilgrims of God in the safe sanctuary of God.”
He also commemorated the anniversary of Operation Mersad, the last major battle of the Iran-Iraq War, which involved a successful counterattack against a July 1988 military incursion from Iraq, by a military force of about 7,000 members of the Mujahadin-e Khalq (MEK). He called the armed attack of the MEK hypocrites a proof of their malice, mercenarism and terrorism.
Referring to the upcoming Day of Arafah, Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “The day of Arafah is the day of knowing more and more God and divine blessings and it’s considered one of the days of God, the secret and need for God Almighty must not be neglected on this day. On this day, the prayer for the release from suffering and the reappearance [of Imam al-Mahdi] must be at the top of all prayers and we must ask God to remove the evil of the Coronavirus from the world, especially the Muslim ummah and the Shi’ahs.”
