RNA – In a meeting with Hujjat al-Islam Ghazi-Askar, representative of Iran’s Supreme Leader for Hajj and Pilgrimage Affairs and Hamid Mohammadi, the head of Iran’s Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization, Grand Ayatollah Naser Makarem-Shirazi expressed his gratitude to them and their coworkers for organizing this year’s Hajj for the Iranian pilgrims in a good manner and said, “When people asked us if it was their duty to perform Hajj this year, we answered ‘put your trust in God and do it. God-willing, everything is going to be fine.’”

The revered source of emulation added, “Honestly we did not expect Hajj to be held in this good of a manner, but when the first group of our pilgrims entered Madinah and we asked them ‘how was the behaviour of the Al Saudi?’ It turned out they were very respectful.”

Ayatollah Makarem-Shirazi stated, “It looks like the Saudi government has come to the conclusion that following the US’ plans against Iran won’t be fruitful, and Saudi Arabia should choose another path. We hope they do the same in political issues, as well.”

The senior cleric remarked, “The Americans and their associates want the Islamic governments to constantly fight so their countries be divided and destroyed. Of course, Muslims must be awake and do not submit to their desires.”
