The presence of thirty million people in the funeral commemorations in various cities and the widespread commemoration of Martyr Qasem Soleymani was a manifestation of the unseen world and heaven and a sign of the greatness of the Iranian people and the presence of the Iraqi people was a new epic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The head of the Islamic Seminaries of Iran offered condolences to the families of the victims of the Ukrainian International Airlines flight 752 tragedy and said, \u201cThese honourable families and most of these families of the victims in Iran, despite the sadness of losing their loved ones, passed a good test and understood that their loved ones died in the accident due to the security situation of the country, despite the evil seditions and plots used to exploit this tragic accident.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He described the IRGC\u2019s missile attack on the United States\u2019 Ayn al-Asad Airbase in Iraq as a major test in which the Armed Forces and the IRGC prevailed and added, \u201cThe Iranian nation will have two simultaneous events in February \u2013 one marking the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution and the fortieth of the martyrdom of Martyr Qasem Soleymani [on February 22nd\/23rd] and other marking the holding of the legislative election on February 21st.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ayatollah Arafi said, \u201cThe United States has been drinking the blood of the people and imposing misery on all people. Those who speak as if these criminals are angels of the universe and with whom a plan of friendship can be formed, this is a great and strategic error.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The jurisprudent member of the Guardian Council said, \u201cThe cleanse of the United States and the optimistic view of the United States and its followers is a line pursued in Iran and the region. Another line is that some deceitful and ignorant people seek to cleanse the sinister Pahlavi regime. Today&#8217;s generation doesn\u2019t know what this tyrannical regime had done to the Iranian people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He considered the belittling and depreciating of the forty years of the Islamic Revolution as among the strategies and plans of the enemies and said, \u201cDespite our weaknesses, the forty years of the Islamic Revolution have been years of bravery, greatness, progress and authority despite all the pressures and difficulties.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Criticizing the audacity of American officials in announcing their plan to assassinate Commander Esmail Qaani, Ayatollah Arafi said, \u201cDonald Trump, who is apparently the highest-ranking American official, is a small and terrorist who has no compatibility with international logic. [Brian Hook, the United States\u2019 Special Representative for Iran] addressed General Soleymani\u2019s successor in the Qods Force: \u2018If Qaani follows the same path of killing Americans [as Soleymani] then he will meet the same fate.\u2019 May you be buried.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>His Eminence said, \u201cThe terrorists of the world know that if you continue on the path of terrorism you will experience tens of millions of people commemorating the funerals of the dead in Iran and Iraq and will face Iranian and divine missiles against all your bases in the region.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ayatollah Arafi concluded, saying, \u201cThe Muslim people, the Islamic Resistance Axis and the brave people of Iran are willingly tolerating the difficulties but won\u2019t surrender to the American terrorists. Officials must work hard to solve the people\u2019s problems and have sympathy with the people. The Iranian people and the Islamic Resistance Axis will stand up against the American insurgents and terrorist movements and we will achieve victory through divine grace.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ayatollah Arafi said, \u201cThe United States has been drinking the blood of the people and imposing misery on all people.
