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 referred to the protests over ‎the increased price of gasoline in several Iranian cities over the past week and said, “Some ‎people have created an uproar over the past several days and engaged in riots. Although ‎similar events have occurred since the Islamic Revolution, they have been small and quickly ‎neutralized but they have had complications.”‎

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah stressed that the energy ‎carriers in Iran are the cheapest in the world and said, “According to the fifth development ‎plan, it was predicted that the price of gasoline would be gradually increased in such a way ‎that it doesn’t put pressure on the people and cause inflation but it was not enacted.”‎

He said that just as the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution (Ayatollah Sayyed Ali ‎Khamenei) considers the method and tradition of the late Imam Khomeyni, he also considers ‎supporting the expert decision of the three levels of government to support public opinion ‎as a necessary issue, and for that reason, the Supreme Leader expressed his support for the ‎decision of the three levels of government.”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Sa’idi emphasized that according to Islamic and national law, the decisive positions ‎of the Supreme Leader are the final decision in all cases and added, “Experience has ‎demonstrated that following the commandments of the Supreme Leader are in the best ‎interest of the administration of the country and the people.”‎
‎ ‎
The representative of the Supreme Leader in ‎Qom ‎emphasized that the Iranian people ‎demonstrated their insight by separating themselves from the rioters and participating in the ‎widespread marches that are being held in all provinces of the country in support of the ‎Islamic Revolution and said, “The insightful and revolutionary people of Qom announced ‎their allegiance to the ideals of Imam Khomeyni and martyr in the marches which occurred ‎yesterday [November 21st] in which they renounced the United States and the United ‎Kingdom.”‎
‎ ‎
He praised the sincere and revolutionary actions of the people in support of the country’s ‎security and stated, “The massive conspiracy to launch turmoil, riots, create a security war ‎and spread it, the destruction of public and private property was foiled and the security and ‎law enforcement forces and the timely presence of the people and the Basij forces ‎neutralized the conspiracy.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “Just as it’s obvious, the enemies have intensified their comprehensive ‎economic war against the Iranian people. The strategy of achieving victory over the enemies ‎lies in the realization of the strategy of protecting national production and entrepreneurship. ‎Although, this strategy is important to circumvent the sanctions, it also has a tactical ‎aspect.”‎

His Eminence said that we must strengthen our internal policies so that even if the sanctions ‎are lifted, we won’t be harmed by moving forward and relying on internal policies and added, ‎‎“There are many capacities within the country, and if we can use them, threats and sanctions ‎will be turned into opportunities.”‎
