Ayatollah Hoseyni-Bushehri referred to the protests in the United States over the killing of ‎George Floyd and said, “What’s going on in the United States today and why are statues ‎being pulled down by the people? It’s not just the racism of Donald Trump and American ‎officials, it’s the people who want serious change.”‎

Ayatollah Tavakkol said that tribulations and problems are due to our own actions and said, “We reap what we sow but in the month of Sha’ban we can remove the calamities from ourselves and society.”
