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 issue of negotiations ‎between Iran and the United States, “Our people must know that the strategy of the enemies is ‎to impose the maximum pressure on the Iranian people and in the media, they explicitly say ‎they want to exert maximum pressure on the Iranian people and officials so that they can ‎impose their demands through negotiations and announce to the world that these pressures ‎have worked.”‎
‎ ‎
The member of the board of directors of the Assembly of Experts said, “The wise Supreme ‎Leader of the Islamic Revolution [Ayatollah Khamenei] has repeatedly warned that Iran won’t ‎negotiate with the disloyal and oppressive American government so that the enemies can’t say ‎that maximum pressure has brought Iran to the negotiating table. Sometimes the enemies have ‎heard whispers and gave been greedy. They want to pit the people against the Islamic system ‎through the utmost pressure but they’re blinded and the people will remain on the scene until ‎the end.”‎

He noted, “The condition of resistance is to use the country’s internal capacities and resources ‎and prove that the pressures of the enemies haven’t been effective. With divine favour, if the ‎authorities look to internal capacities rather than outside capacities, they will grant the Iranian ‎nation a definite victory.”‎

Referring to the attack by the Yemeni resistance on the Aramco refinery in Saudi Arabia, ‎Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri added, “After the attack they asked ‘who is behind the attack?’ and ‎didn’t want to admit that Ansarullah and the oppressed and heroic people of Yemen carried out ‎the attack and accused others.”‎

The secretary of the Supreme Council of the Islamic Seminaries stated that the United States ‎and Saudi Arabia have been committing crimes in Yemen for five years, said, “It’s really funny ‎to say that the attack on Aramco was a war crime and it has to be investigated whether the ‎weapon was from Iran or not. Why not investigate the weapons being used against the ‎oppressed Yemeni people?”‎

He added, “If they stop their oppression and stop murdering the oppressed people of Yemen, ‎they will not have such consequences. The Yemenis are a people who fight heroically and don’t ‎surrender.”‎

Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri said, “On the day that the [Iranian] officials announced that ‘if our ‎oil isn’t exported, no oil would be exported from the Persian Gulf,’ the enemies thought we ‎were closing the Strait of Hormuz but they didn’t know that the Islamic resistance and ‎revolutionaries of the world and those who know the enemies would enter the scene and inflict ‎the greatest blow on the enemies. We don’t need to close the Strait of Hormuz because today ‎the Islamic Resistance Front has reached the maturity of how to strike them.”‎

Referring to the greatness of the upcoming Arba’in pilgrimage, His Eminence stated, “Arba’in is ‎a unique march in history that has broadened the Husayni knowledge and provided the basis ‎for Islamic civilization in the light of the Arba’in movement.”‎

He added, “During Arba’in, Shi’ahs, Sunnis and followers of other religions declare their love ‎and devotion to the Master of the Martyrs [Imam al-Husayn] and there is no such issue ‎anywhere else in the world. We thank the beloved Iraqi people for their hospitality and warm ‎welcome and we thank the Iraqi government for providing the facilities and we hope that this ‎year’s Arba’in commemoration will be more glorious than ever and a thorn in the eyes of the ‎enemies.”‎
