‎ ‎
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom ‎added that the presence of the ‎Islamic Resistance Forces was in the framework of humanitarian law and the four treaties of ‎the Geneva Conventions and isn’t only legitimate internationally in the face of floods and ‎natural disasters but also in times of wars. ‎

His Eminence continued, “The presence of the Islamic Resistance Forces‎in the country is in ‎the form of agreements between the two countries of Iran and Iraq and the proof of this is ‎that the Iraqi people stand alongside the Iranian people. The Iraqi Islamic Resistance Forces ‎‎entered Iran for a humanitarian cause under the title of ‘Beautiful Response’ and they said ‎‎‘Iran didn’t leave us when we were under fire and we will not abandon Iran during the flood.’”‎
‎ ‎
He stated that the Islamic Resistance Forces ‎were present in the provinces of Lorestan, ‎Golestan and Khuzestan to serve the people said that most of the Islamic Resistance Forces ‎‎were in the form of Husayni convoys and the relief of the dear Iraqi brothers is an extension ‎of Arba’in al-Husayn. ‎
