Supreme Leader: Iran will neither hesitate nor hurry to perform its duties

Hailing the Iranian Armed Forces for their recent legitimate missile attack on Israel, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei Iran will not either procrastinate or hurry to perform its duties.

Adressing the sermons of the Friday Prayer, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei called on Muslims to stay united together to enjoy the endless power of God.

Ayatollah Khamenei also noted that creating division is the policy of the enemies.

According to the Quran, if Muslims get united, they can overcome the enemies, the Leader said, adding, “The enemy of the Iranian nation is the enemy of the Iraqi nation, the same enemy of the Lebanese nation, the same enemy of the Egyptian nation, the enemy of all of us is the same.”

Referring to the Al-Aqsa storm operation, the Leader said that the operation was a legal and international move and the Palestinians were right.

Hailing the Iranian Armed Forces for their recent legitimate missile attack on Israeli military targets as a punishment for the Zionist regime, Leader of the Islamic Revolution said Iran will not either procrastinate or hurry to perform its duties.

Ayatollah Khamenei described Nasrallah “my brother, my dear and my pride, the beloved face of the Islamic world, and the eloquent language of the nations of the region, [and] the shining jewel of Lebanon”.

“I felt it necessary to pay tribute to Mr. Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah (May God bless him and grant him peace) in the Friday prayer in Tehran, and to convey some notifications to everyone,” the Leader said.

“We are all saddened and mourned by the martyrdom of Dear Sayyed. This is a great loss and we are deeply saddened, but our mourning does not mean depression, distress and despair.

“It is a kind of mourning for the Master of Martyrs Hussein ibn Ali. It is enlivening, instructive, motivating, and hopeful,” the Leader said, referring to Imam Hussein (AS).

Ayatollah Khamenei said though Nasrallah’s body has left this world, “his true personality, his soul, his way, and his expressive voice are still among us and will be with us forever”.

“He was the high flag of resistance against oppressive and predatory demons – an eloquent voice and a brave defender of the oppressed. He was a source of encouragement and valor for fighters and rights seekers. His popularity and influence had gone beyond Lebanon, Iran and Arab countries, and now his martyrdom will increase this influence.”

“The audience of this sermon is the whole Islamic world, but it is specially addressed to the dear nation of Lebanon and Palestine,” he said.

The main cause of war, insecurity and backwardness in this region is the “existence of the Zionist regime” and the presence of governments that claim to seek peace and tranquility in the region, he said.

Earlier on Friday morning, the doors of Tehran’s Grand Mosalla Mosque opened from 5:30 am today as the commemoration ceremony of the late Hezbollah leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah and the IRGC general Abbas Nilforooshan kicked off at 10:30 Tehran time.
