RNA – In a speech on the Beirut bombing, Ayatollah Sayyed Muhammad-Taqi al-Modaressi, a senior Najaf-based Iraqi ‎source of emulation, said, “What is happening in in terms of successive conflicts and incidents‎ in [the ‎Western Asia] region is a struggle between Satanic powers and humankind, between those who try to ‎return the people to humiliation and dependence on them and between those who follow the guardianship of ‎God. Those who are not satisfied except with the independence and sovereignty of their country.”‎

He added, “What is happening concerning the conflicts and wars in our region is due to the commands and ‎dictates of these Satanic powers and those who don’t want establishment and security for the country and ‎lure their agents into creating wars and chaos.”‎

Ayatollah al-Modarresi said, “Some Western politicians are politically blind and don’t see anything in the ‎world other than the usurping Zionist regime and they want all countries to be subjected to that regime. ‎Therefore, the pressures imposed on Lebanon are following such a policy, which is the policy of the house ‎of obedience that means subjugating all countries and they follow this strategy in every ugly manner.”‎

His Eminence noted, “What happened in Lebanon was a great explosion that left thousands of victims and ‎resulted in the destruction of large parts of the city of Beirut. Far from it being intentional or inadvertent, it ‎must be said that it was an extremely great incident, and those who are responsible for its occurrence must ‎receive their just punishment in this material world, otherwise God will punish them for their actions.”‎

Referring to the level of international sympathy with the Lebanese people, he added, “These expressions of ‎sympathy demonstrate the position of Lebanon among the nations of the world who persuaded their ‎governments to express their sympathy with Lebanon.”‎

In the end, Ayatollah al-Modarresi said, “In this atmosphere full of empathy and emotion, some of the ‎harpoons of Satanic powers have shown rejoiced maliciously at the Lebanese people’s sorrow, even more ‎so than the Zionists. However, the sympathy of the people of the world with the Lebanese people led to ‎humiliation of the Zionists. It should be known that the Lebanese people are healing the wounds and ‎overcoming the challenges, rebuilding their country, and the gatherings of evil are turning and hatred and ‎enmity are returning to them and the people of the this valuable region are paying for their independence ‎and dignity and its value is in the hands of God, as God has promised, ‘Whoever takes for his guardians ‎God, His Apostle and the faithful [should know that] the confederates of God are indeed the victorious.’” ‎‎[Holy Quran 5:56]‎

On the evening of August 4th, a series of explosions occurred in the city of Beirut, the capital of Lebanon. ‎The extremely powerful main blast, at the Port of Beirut, which was preceded by a fire, left at least 154 ‎people dead least 80 more missing, and more than 5,000 injured. Beirut Governor Marwan Abboud ‎estimated that up to 300,000 people were left homeless by the explosion. The government declared a two-‎week state of emergency.‎

The explosion was linked to about 2,750 tonnes (3,030 short tons) of ammonium nitrate, equivalent to ‎around 1,155 tonnes of TNT (4,830 gigajoules) that had been confiscated by the government from the ‎abandoned ship MV Rhosus and stored in the port without proper safety measures for six years.‎
