Six Messages the L--der’s Friday Prayer Sent

Alwaght- Three days after the Iranian missile strikes deep into I---el, Iran's Supreme Leader Ay----llah Sayyed Ali Kha----ei 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 Ha-as’s Operation Al-A-sa 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 Zi--ist 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 Is--eli crimes, referring to the missile attack of Wednesday. He said that Iran will not procrastinate nor will it hurry in dealing with Is--eli 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 Is--eli crimes and especially the assassination of Hamas leader Is-ail Ha-iyeh 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 Is--eli 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 Is--elis back: In his Arabic message, A---ollah Kha---ei also addressed the achievements of Palestinian and Lebanese resistance during the war and noted that the Operation Al-Aqsa St--m 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 Is--eli regime back seventy years. 

5. Is--el cannot win over Ha-as or He--ollah: The Leader also asserted that Tel Aviv cannot win the war over Ha-as or He--ollah. He said that the Is--elis 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 Zi--ist criminal band has come up with the conclusion that it cannot win over Ha-as and He---llah." 

6. The reason behind Is---eli  assassinations and their consequences: Ay---llah Kha-e-ei also pointed to the reason why the Is---eli regime has resorted to terrorist actions and assassinations, saying that "since evil and weak enemy cannot seriously damage the strong organization of He---llah, Ha-as, 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."
