Alwaght- Three days after the Iranian missile strikes deep into Israel, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei led the Friday prayer of Tehran and addressed regional developments, sending important messages from Iran to the world, especially the Muslim nations.
The Leader of the Islamic Revolution recited the second sermon of the Friday prayer in Arabic. In this sermon, he emphasized that Hamas’s Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and the one-year resistance of Gaza and Lebanon brought the usurping regime to a point where its most important concern is now to maintain its existence. That was the same concern that this regime had in the initial years of its illegitimate birth. This means, he added, that the struggle of the fighting men of Palestine and Lebanon has successfully "turned the Zionist regime back 70 years."
Here are the major messages his sermon sent:
1. Talking directly to the Arab nations: The Leader recited one of his two sermons in Arabic, talking directly to the Muslim and Arab nations. In his speech, he clearly outlined the stances of the Islamic Republic of Iran regarding the recent developments and those to come, adding that if necessary, Tehran will once again resolutely respond to the Israeli crimes, referring to the missile attack of Wednesday. He said that Iran will not procrastinate nor will it hurry in dealing with Israeli actions.
2. Policy of no procrastination, no hurry: One of the key points that the Leader mentioned was that "we will neither "procrastinate nor act hastily in carrying out our duty", but we do our duty logically and properly, this means that we neither overdo it nor underdo it." He added that Iran takes a middle path in doing its duties regarding Gaza and Lebanon. The delay in Iran's response to the Israeli crimes and especially the assassination of Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31 caused some misunderstandings in the country, in the region, in the allied Axis of Resistance countries, with some thinking that Iran withdrew its support to the resistance groups in the region or it is afraid of responding to the Israeli regime. By launching the Operation True Promise II, Iran showed that it not only is not afraid of responding to the Israeli regime, but also it carries out its duties concerning the resistance groups in logical, calculated, and unhasty way.
3. Message to Muslim world as special addressee: The Leader addressed his message to the Muslim world, saying that "the addressee of this sermon is the Muslim world, but the dear nations of Palestine and Lebanon are the special addressees."
4. Resistance has managed to push the Israelis back: In his Arabic message, Ayatollah Khamenei also addressed the achievements of Palestinian and Lebanese resistance during the war and noted that the Operation Al-Aqsa Storm and the one-year resistance of Gaza and Lebanon brought the usurping regime to a point where its most important concern is to preserve its existence. That is, the same concern that this regime had in the first years of its existence. This means that the struggle of the fighting men of Palestine and Lebanon has been able to turn the Israeli regime back seventy years.
5. Israel cannot win over Hamas or Hezbollah: The Leader also asserted that Tel Aviv cannot win the war over Hamas or Hezbollah. He said that the Israelis have been fighting for a year and spending billions of dollars on the strength of the US and some other Western counties to defeat resistance forces who are under blockade but has failed, and its only art is bombing the houses, schools, and hospitals, and the centers civil concentration. "Today, the Zionist criminal band has come up with the conclusion that it cannot win over Hamas and Hezbollah."
6. The reason behind Israeli assassinations and their consequences: Ayatollah Khamenei also pointed to the reason why the Israeli regime has resorted to terrorist actions and assassinations, saying that "since evil and weak enemy cannot seriously damage the strong organization of Hezbollah, Hamas, or other resistance groups fighting in the path of God, it paints assassination, destruction, and bombardment, and massacre of civilians as its achievements. What is the result? The result of this behavior is accumulation of fury and increase of the motivation of the people and rise of more men, generals, and leaders, and sacrificers and tightening the noose on this bloodthirsty wolf, and finally elimination of this evil from existence."
