RNA – The Friday Prayer leader of Qom, Ayatollah Sayyed Hashem Hoseyni-Bushehri, told the believers gathered at the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah that Iran’s nuclear negotiations with the P5+1 group of countries in Muscat were long and serious but warned the negotiators not to give away Iran’s right to peaceful nuclear technology.

“In our opinion, the enemies have an insatiable appetite and every day they plan. They decided that they must test if the Islamic Republic of Iran is committed to negotiations and that they will slowly suspend the sanctions but won’t remove them,” he stated.

Ayatollah Bushehri referred to the letter of American President Barack Obama to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei] saying that this the forth letter that President Obama has sent to Ayatollah Khamenei. “I am hopeful that one day the tone of these letters become clear and obvious for the people so they can understand the position, manner and tone of these letters,” he stated.

The renowned scholar called on the Iranian nation to follow Ayatollah Khamenei’s commands strictly, and said: “To enrich our nation’s inalienable rights, [more] nuclear power plants should be built, and the sanctions should be lifted immediately.”

Ayatollah Bushehri warned the Iranian negotiators: “The enemies want to take concessions from you... these concessions will not be viable. Do not let the enemies take all necessarily privileges and push us back – they will just keep you waiting. The [Iranian] nation does not give you this right and are certain you will not do this.”

In regard to the attacks by the Zionist regime on Jerusalem’s al-Aqsa Mosque, His Eminence stated that they are trying to Judaize this city, which is holy to the three Abrahamic faiths. However, they disrespect these holy sites. These Jews have created extremist [groups] to kill Muslims. “In my opinion, they are attempting to test the sensitivities of Muslims,” he said.

Unfortunately, due to the neglect by Muslim countries and their leaders, the Zionist regime and the United States have kept Muslims divided and tied up with the Takfiri terrorists to give the Zionists some breathing space and respite [in order to save their regime].

Ayatollah Bushehri expressed that the Muslim community must wake up and pay attention to the Zionist regime is doing and unite and take a stand against this cancerous regime. He also expressed his disgust with the Egyptian regime for actively supporting the Israeli blockade on the impoverished Gaza Strip and not allowing goods for its reconstruction to pass the checkpoints.
