Hawzah News Agency- In the series of "True Narration" meetings for the missionaries sent out for the month of Muharram, which were held virtually, Hujjat al-Islam Najaf Lakzai, head of the Institute of Islamic Sciences and Culture, referred to one of the questions raised in Western media, noting, "If Iran gives up nuclear technology, will there no longer be a threat to the country?" and emphasized,” This claim is a political excuse and incorrect analysis.”
He continued his speech by stating: A closer examination of the performance of Western countries towards Iran shows that international pressure against the Islamic Republic of Iran existed even before the nuclear issue was raised. Extensive economic sanctions, the imposed war, the West’s unconditional support for Saddam Hussein in the war against Iran, and even the American ship’s action in shooting down an Iranian passenger plane in the Persian Gulf are examples of this hostile approach that had no connection with the nuclear program.
The West and the Policy of Dividing Countries
The head of the Institute of Islamic Sciences and Culture, citing the Supreme Leader’s statements in the Second Step of the Revolution statement, emphasized: The system of domination has divided the world into two blocs of dominators and subjugated countries. Subjugated countries are those that are willing to accept the policies imposed by the West, but the Islamic Republic of Iran has always been under external pressure due to its independence and resistance.
He also referred to the role of the Zionist regime in these policies and stated: This regime is not an independent state, rather a tool for implementing Western policies in the region.
Emphasizing that the goal of the hegemony system is to prevent the formation of an independent political system in the region, Lakzai stated: Hegemonic countries will confront any power that seeks to resist and stand against Western influence.
The Islamic Republic of Iran and Quranic teachings against hegemony
Continuing his speech, emphasizing Islamic teachings, he stated: The Holy Quran has raised the principle of "opposing the infidelity" and explicitly emphasizes that infidels should not dominate believers. Relying on these teachings, the Islamic Republic of Iran will continue the path of dignity, independence, and resistance and will not succumb to foreign pressures.
Referring to the imposed war and the continuation of the West's hostility, Lakzai stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran has always faced various threats from the hegemonic regime for more than four decades. Even in periods when the nuclear issue was not an issue, Iran has faced various sanctions, political pressures, and proxy wars, which indicate the true nature of this confrontation.
The West's False Claims About Human Rights and the Fight Against Terrorism
The head of the Institute for Islamic Sciences and Culture continued by criticizing the West's dual policies in the field of human rights and the fight against terrorism, stating: Hegemonic countries are trying to justify their pressure on Iran by making claims about human rights, the fight against terrorism, and women's rights. This is while these countries themselves are the biggest violators of human rights and support terrorist groups in different parts of the world.
Maintaining Iran's Independence and National Dignity
Lakzai said: The Islamic Republic of Iran will always move on the path of independence and dignity and will not surrender to foreign pressures. The Iranian nation, relying on religious teachings and the spirit of resistance, will continue its path of dignity and authority and will defend its rights against foreign pressures.
Conclusion
Stating that the West's hostile policies against Iran go beyond the nuclear program and its main goal is to weaken the independence of the Islamic Republic, he emphasized: The Iranian nation will thwart these pressures with steadfastness and resistance.
