RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers in Qom’s Quds ‎Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Seyyed Hashem Hoseyni-Bushehri referred to the birth anniversary of ‎Jesus Christ said, “The principle of the existence and birth of Jesus Christ was accompanied ‎by miracles and his life was also accompanied by miracles. The Prophet Jesus came with a ‎message of love and affection and he was the manifestation of the struggle against ‎oppression and corruption. Today, those who have launched wars to fight for the victory of ‎Christianity, engage in conquering other countries and crimes are not real Christians and ‎Christians must speak out against the arrogant front and the oppressors.”‎

The member of the board of directors of the Assembly of Experts pointed out that the ‎thinkers of the Christian world must clarify that the performance of the leaders of disbelief ‎and hypocrisy are in contradiction with the teachings of Jesus Christ. Jesus brought a book ‎called the Gospel, in which the glad tidings of the coming of a prophet at the end of time ‎was announced, meaning the Prophet Muhammad, and he must be followed.”‎

He pointed to the economic problems facing Iran and said, “One of the important issues ‎facing the country today is the issue of the economy and livelihoods of the people. ‎Sanctions are a declared economic war that has been started against us. From one side, we ‎are suffering from increased costs but we must know that the enemies are seeking to defeat ‎the Islamic Revolution and separate the people from the system through sanctions.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri said that enemies welcome the Islam of prayer, fasting and Hajj ‎but rather are worried about the Islam which creates a spirit and movement in society and ‎stressed, “The enemies used various methods in this regard and on the eve of the fortieth ‎anniversary of the Islamic Revolution, the enemies have focused on sanctions and have ‎been putting various pressures on the country, sometimes through threats and sometimes ‎they also try to encourage our officials that if they perform a certain action, there will be ‎relief.”‎

The secretary of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminary‎ added, “This has been ‎exemplified by this process of negotiations with the P5+1 group of countries and the Joint ‎Comprehensive Plan of Action (JPCOA). This issue must be an experience for society and the ‎authorities that we cannot trust the enemies.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence said that we must not be oversimplify in the face of the enemies and added, ‎‎“The authorities are striving but these efforts aren’t enough and in order to counter the ‎enemies’ plans and conspiracies against the Islamic Revolution, we need a roadmap for the ‎future and we must not suffer problems everyday.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri referred to issues facing the Middle East and said, “The Syrian ‎case has reached a fortunate place, the presidents, who have sanctioned this country for the ‎last eight years, have asked permission from the president of Syria [Bashar al-Asad] to go to ‎this country. This is an achievement of the Islamic Resistance against the enemies. I wish ‎that the resignation of the United States Secretary of Defence [Jim Mattis] and the United ‎States’ withdrawal from Syria had occurred sooner.”‎

He‎ added, “Given the numerous and scandalous failures, Americans want no longer want to ‎face defeat and have decided to leave Syria. Yemen has found relatively good conditions and ‎negotiations have begun, which must result in the benefit of the Yemeni people and ‎Ansarullah.”‎
