RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon to a large and fervent crowd of believers at Qom’s ‎Qods ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Alireza Arafi ‎stated that unfortunately the global news flow is in the ‎hands of the oppressive media empires which are like an octopus wherein all the arteries of ‎intelligence and analysis and information in the world’s are under their yoke and added, “Due ‎to divine grace, the Islamic Revolution and the Islamic Resistance have established the ‎truthful flow of information and we must thank them.”‎
‎ ‎
The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran ‎stated, “When the Navy of the Islamic ‎Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) was capturing the British oil tanker [Stena Impero], two ‎major American and British warships came to Iran and told Iranian forces to hold off, but the ‎commander declared that it wouldn’t pay attention and continued to capture the ship with ‎bravery. The forces of the IRGC, with all their courage, stood up against the powerful British ‎and American navies, bravely seized the ship and forced the enemies to retreat.”‎

He continued, “Everyone must know that Iran is logical and acts on the basis of rationality ‎and wisdom but won’t surrender ‎to sanctions and threats and, by the grace of God, the ‎strong and faithful forces will stand up to the oppression and crimes of all the powers with ‎all of their might.”‎

Referring to Statement on the Second Step of the Islamic ‎Revolution, which was issued by ‎the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎[Ayatollah Khamenei], Ayatollah Arafi ‎stated, ‎‎“The Statement on the Second Step of the Islamic Revolution, in addition to outlining seven ‎strategies for the future of the country, contains a set of important theories for the ‎management of the revolution.”‎
‎ ‎
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom ‎said, “The first theory is the ‎combination between the system and the revolution, the Supreme Leader said that there is ‎no conflict between the revolution and the system. Neither the rule of law nor the revolution ‎is needless of law nor does legality make us needless of the revolution and the jihadi spirit.”‎
‎ ‎
He ‎added, “Another theory outlined in this statement is that there is a third path between ‎divergence and passive renewal that some are fond of and bigotry, consolidation and the ‎lack of the acceptance of criticism exist in regard to the third path. The third path is to ‎accept criticism and reconsider points of view but not at the expense of abandoning the ‎fundamental foundations and principles of the revolution and surrendering to the false logic ‎and foolish discourses of the world.”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Arafi ‎added, “Flexibility in the intelligent revolution is active and resistant. The ‎Supreme Leader said that the Islamic Revolution as a living phenomenon with will, it will ‎always be flexible and ready to correct its errors but it isn’t revisable and passive. It shows ‎positive sensitivity to criticism and it counts that as the blessings of God but it never ‎distances itself from its values, which are blended with the religious faith of the people.”‎
