The big picture:
The statements were made at the "National Conference on Divine Religions and the Aggressaion of Zionism and the West on Iran” in Tehran. The conference itself comes after the Israeli-U.S. attack on Iran that took long 12 days.
- The conference featured representatives from various religions, including Jews, Zoroastrians, Armenians, Assyrians, as well as Shia and Sunni Muslims.
Why it matters:
The conference showed that supporting the resistance is no longer just an Islamic issue; it has developed into a trans-religious platform for unity against hegemony.
What he's saying:
Ayatollah Ali-Akbar Rashad stated that the Resistance Front in Iran successfully thwarted an all-out hybrid war just days after the attack by the Zionist regime, thanks to the efforts of its commanders and scientists.
Ayatollah Rashad: "The enemy had expected that the Iranian people would turn against the government; however, they soon realized that the proud Iranian nation, with its rich history spanning several millennia, has defended its identity and stood firm against the aggressor."
Key points:
-
A trans-religious resistance front has been formed with support from more than 16 countries backing Iran.
-
The ceasefire, which followed 12 days of conflict, has solidified Iran's gains.
-
People like Trump and Netanyahu are cited as examples of warlords and corrupt leaders.
-
There is strong criticism regarding the silence of international institutions in response to the civilian casualties in Gaza.
