The enemies are always seeking subversion and certainly, they seek to open such a path from within the country.”

His Eminence stressed, “We must work hard together, and in addition to being aware, we must have insight and we must give consideration to all matters of the Islamic world.”

He added, “We should all take responsibility for the internal destruction that has taken place. I have also done some important work in this regard, which I will talk about later.”

His Eminence said that scholars and lecturers should be very active as this is a sensitive issue that should be expressed to everyone.

Ayatollah Jannati said, “Today, a new intifada has begun in Palestine, which is very important. We should all know that the issue of the al-Aqsa Mosque is at the heart of the Islamic world.”
