Addressing the Youth and Officials of the Country
Ayatollah Alamolhoda continued by emphasizing that nothing should tire the youth in the face of crises, reminding them that they are serving in the presence of Imam Mahdi (may Allah hasten his reappearance). He also warned the country's officials not to be influenced by American threats, adding: "We are concerned about the reactions of some officials to American threats."
America's Mistakes in Military and Diplomatic Calculations
He pointed out America's mistakes in its initial calculations regarding the war, stating: "America thought that the war it started would end quickly and that the people of Iran would surrender, but this assumption was wrong. As long as the voice of the phoenix rises from the throats of this people, we will seek revenge for our leader."
Ayatollah Alamolhoda referred to America's confusion in current calculations, saying: "Today, America is not sure about the seriousness of starting the war, and if it wants to increase pressures, its problems will multiply." He also emphasized that the people of Iran will resist against these pressures and will never surrender.
Criticism of Negotiations with America
The Friday prayer leader of Mashhad addressed the issue of negotiations with America, stating: "Unfortunately, some of our dear ones went to New York and took a stance that America exploits. This behavior does not indicate our dependence on negotiations, and we must be careful that America does not think we are in need of negotiations."
He warned that the Supreme Leader's directive was only related to announcing conditions, and those who engaged in negotiations acted contrary to this directive. Ayatollah Alamolhoda emphasized to the people: "Any action taken to open the Strait of Hormuz means aiding America, and we will strongly avoid this action."
The Current Situation of America and Economic Concerns
In conclusion, the Friday prayer leader of Mashhad referred to the current situation of America, stating: "The President of America has informed European countries to release their emergency reserves to reduce fuel prices in the November elections. This indicates that America is in a state of desperation, and any assistance in opening the Strait of Hormuz means aiding the enemy."
