Alwaght- Leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei says the elimination of US-backed ISIS terrorist group is considered service to regional countries and the Muslim world, an to all nations and humanity in general.
Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in reply to an earlier letter of Major General Qassem Soleimani, the commander of the Quds Force of Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC), who congratulated the Leader on the collapse of the ISIS terrorist group in Iraq and Syria.
The following is the summary of Iran Supreme Leader's message:
General Soleimani, the glowing commander of Islam,
I thank God that the vicious entity of ISIS--built by the world’s tyrannical powers--was eradicated in Syria & Iraq by your hands: the pious servants of God.
This was not the only blow stricken against the brutal ISIS: it was a more serious blow against vicious policies that spark civil wars in the region aimed at eliminating anti-Zionist resistance; and one against barbaric leaders of the deviant group that seeks to weaken Independent states.
Eradicating Isis was a heavy blow against former and current US governments: their client regimes in the region, which created ISIS, fully supported its spread and vicious domination over Western Asia, in order to allow the usurper Zionist regime to rule over it.
By eradicating this cancerous & lethargic tumor, not only did you help countries of regions and world of Islam, but you also served all nations & mankind greatly. This is a divine victory and a manifestation of the notion, "You did not kill them; rather, it was God who killed them,”--this was rewarded to you, for yours and your comrades’ nonstop efforts.
I cordially congratulate you; yet, I urge you not be negligent of the enemies’ plots. Those who invested so much, towards creating this wicked conspiracy, will never stand idly by: they will try to spread evil again, one way or another, somewhere in the region.
Maintaining inspiration, vigilance, unity, removing any cultural bias, and increasing insight, in a nutshell, all-inclusive preparations should not be forgotten. I leave you and all hard-working brothers from Iraq, Syria, and elsewhere to God. I send you my peace and prayers.
