RNA – In his Friday prayer sermon delivered to a large and fervent crowd of believers at ‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎‎Qom’s Qods Prayer Hall, Ayatollah Sayyed Mohammad Sa’idi said that the days of Tasu’a ‎and Ashura had historically been an inspiration for movements against oppression and said, ‎‎“Imam Khomeyni used the great capacities of Tasu’a and Ashura to pursue an Islamic ‎movement and launched the Islamic Revolution with a cry for justice and cruelty. In 1978, it ‎was the marches of Tasu’a and Ashura that became a referendum against the Pahlavi ‎regime. The uprising of the people on the day of Ashura revealed the substance of the ‎Islamic Revolution and the movement of the late Imam and the people.”‎
‎ ‎
The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah said, “In the present era, our ‎religious duty is to pledge allegiance to the deputy of Imam al-Mahdi, namely Imam ‎Khamenei, and shout ‘Labbayk Ya Mahdi’ [‘I am at your service, Oh Mahdi’]. ‘Labbayk Ya ‎Khamenei’ is a manifestation of ‘Labbayk Ya Husayn’ and Labbayk Ya Mahdi.’ That is why ‎‎‘Labbayk Ya Khamenei’ has become a widespread cry and the leader of the Islamic ‎Resistance in Lebanon [Sayyid Hasan Nasrallah] and the oppressed Palestinian and Yemeni ‎people and the Lebanese Resistance Front shout ‘Labbayk.’”‎

He added, “In order to save the oppressed from the arrogant powers and to pave the way ‎for the establishment of the universal government of Imam al-Mahdi, we must pledge ‎allegiance to the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution and pay attention to his ‎directives and remarks.” ‎

In another part of his remarks, Ayatollah Sa’idi referred to Iran’s third step to reduce its ‎obligations to the JCPOA and said, “Today, if the Islamic Republic of Iran implements the ‎third step to reduce its nuclear obligations, the people will shout ‘Labbayk’ to the Supreme ‎Leader in response to the impudence and excessiveness of the enemies.”‎

The representative of the Supreme Leader in ‎Qom added, “In the West’s view, Iran’s third ‎step to reduce its obligations to the JCPOA would lead to the greater discrediting of Europe ‎and the United States. The third step has practically made the JCPOA meaningless and this ‎comes at a time when Trump’s policies against Iran have practically failed.” ‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi said that with Iran’s progress in the defence and military arenas and the ‎downing of the United States’ advanced drone, Trump has no military option available and ‎said, “The sanctions of the United States didn’t lead to the collapse of the Iranian economy ‎and these events have dramatically increased the position of the Islamic Republic of Iran. It ‎has been proven more than ever that ‘America can’t do a damned thing’ and that we have ‎trampled the United States. This isn’t just a slogan. This is a materialized reality.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence stressed, “Under the leadership of Wilayat al-Faqih [Guardianship of the ‎Jurisprudent], the Islamic Republic of Iran hasn’t only become a superpower in the region ‎but also a global superpower because Iran is following the law of God and the school of the ‎Ahl al-Bayt but the Western world follows the law of the jungle.”‎

He added, “In the law of the jungle, the enemies only think of destroying the other side and ‎negotiating with such people is a deadly poison. The only way to salvation and victory is to ‎rely on the capabilities and power of domestic forces and to resist the arrogant and bullying ‎powers.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi reiterated, “Influential Westoxified people must not give wrong advice to the ‎officials and know that talking about engaging in new negotiations with the enemies who ‎openly speak about their efforts to destroy the Islamic Republic of Iran won’t be acceptable ‎to the officials and the people.”‎
