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 visit of Prime ‎Minister of Iraq, Mustafa al-Kadhimi, to Iran and his the Supreme Leader of the Islamic ‎Revolution, Ayatollah Khamenei, and said, “This meeting shows the deep and strategic ‎relations between Iran and Iraq and the extent of the impact of brotherhood, friendship, ‎love and interest of the two nations on each other, as well as the role of the supreme ‎religious authority [Ayatollah al-Sistani] and the Popular Mobilization Forces to establish the ‎dignity and progress of Iraq.”‎

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah added, “The Iraqi Prime ‎Minister has shown that he is interested in expanding relations with Iran. Of course, there are ‎opponents to expanding Iran-Iraq relations, led by the United States, but we must not be ‎afraid because, according to the leaders of the Islamic Revolution, ‘America can’t do a ‎damned thing.’”‎

He stating that the strategy of active resistance is the solution against the evil and terrorist ‎United States, said, “The Americans must know that in the face of any crime they commit, ‎they must wait for revenge and a severe blow to the believers.”‎

Ayatollah Sa’idi added, “The people of Iran and Iraq will never forget the assassination of ‎Haj Qasem Soleymani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis. The Supreme Leader said in this meeting ‎that your guest was killed in your house and confessed to this crime and that the Islamic ‎Republic will definitely strike back at the Americans.”‎

The representative of the Supreme Leader in ‎Qom emphasized, “What is important for Iran ‎in bilateral relations is interests, benefits, security, dignity and the improvement of the ‎situation in Iraq and Iran and it wants a dignified, powerful and independent Iraq.”‎

He went on to point out the negative and positive consequences of COVID-19 (Coronavirus) ‎and said, “Human casualties, challenges to the world economy and stagnation in production ‎are some of the negative effects of the Coronavirus, but the virus has caused good things ‎such as preparation for biological warfare, the greater unity of people and officials, proving ‎the effectiveness of jihadi action, Iran’s power in public mobilization and public aid. It was ‎realized and we saw that everyone worked, everyone realized that the pillars of the Islamic ‎Republic, especially the health sector, are not only not behind Europe and the United States, ‎but are more efficient.”‎
‎ ‎
Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “During the Coronavirus, the evil nature and hostile performance of the ‎dissident media were exposed. During the fight against the Coronavirus, it was proved that if ‎the production sector enters the work with a revolutionary spirit and jihadi performance and ‎if the government seriously and practically supports the producers, a boom in production will ‎be achieved.”‎

The custodian of the Holy Shrine of Lady Fatimah al-Ma’sumah referred to the events of July ‎‎31, 1987, the anniversary of the martyrdom of the pilgrims of the House of God at the ‎hands of the mercenaries of House of Saud, “While the people were performing the Hajj ‎rites, the Saudi mercenaries and the puppet agents of the criminal United States shot and ‎committed crimes against the pilgrims of God in the safe sanctuary of God.”‎

He also commemorated the anniversary of Operation Mersad, the last major battle of the ‎Iran-Iraq War, which involved a successful counterattack against a July 1988 military ‎incursion from Iraq, by a military force of about 7,000 members of the Mujahadin-e Khalq ‎‎(MEK). He called the armed attack of the MEK hypocrites a proof of their malice, ‎mercenarism and terrorism.‎

Referring to the upcoming Day of Arafah, Ayatollah Sa’idi said, “The day of Arafah is the day ‎of knowing more and more God and divine blessings and it’s considered one of the days of ‎God, the secret and need for God Almighty must not be neglected on this day. On this day, ‎the prayer for the release from suffering and the reappearance [of Imam al-Mahdi] must be ‎at the top of all prayers and we must ask God to remove the evil of the Coronavirus from ‎the world, especially the Muslim ummah and the Shi’ahs.”‎
