RNA – In his Eid al-Adha sermon at Qom’s Jamkaran Mosque, Ayatollah Sayyed Ahmad ‎Khatami, said that repudiating the man- and child-killing polytheists is one of the blessings of ‎Iran’s Islamic Revolution and said, “Undoubtedly, repudiating the ‎United States and the ‎Zionist regime today is a manifestation of religious zeal and anyone who has religious zeal ‎says ‘down with America and ‘down with Israel’ with enthusiasm.”‎

The interim Friday prayer leader of Tehran added, “Today, the United States and its allies are ‎opposed to pure Islam. They know well that Iran isn’t in violation of human rights and the ‎United States and its allies are at the forefront of human rights abuses, having killed more ‎than 10,000 people in Yemen. They have no understanding of human rights at all. This isn’t ‎about the atomic bomb because they know that our jurisprudence forbids the use of this ‎weapon.”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Khatami said, “The atomic bomb that they are afraid of is the revival of Islam in ‎Islamic Iran and I give you good tidings with confidence in the divine promises that the ‎enemies of Iran and the Islamic Revolution haven’t done anything so far and they won’t be ‎able to do anything again.”‎
‎ ‎
The member of the Society of Seminary Teachers of Qom said, “I say to the great nation of ‎Iran that you will remain with the will of God and your enemies will leave and the deceit of ‎the deceitful will return to them, with the favour of God. All of the presidents of the United ‎States wished to abolish the Islamic Revolution but their wishes were buried with them and ‎the wishes of the leaders of today, as in the past, will be sent to the graves along with ‎them.”‎

In conclusion, Ayatollah Khatami noted that the Iranian people are persistent and added, ‎‎“God-willing, they will overcome the problems facing the nation.”‎
