Hawzah News Agency- From this perspective, the confrontation involving the United States and the Israeli regime on one side and the Islamic Republic of Iran on the other is not confined to issues such as Iran’s nuclear program, missile capabilities, or Western pressure mechanisms. Rather, it is grounded in a profound epistemological and doctrinal divide with clear civilizational dimensions.
Within the framework of Shiite thought, history is understood as moving toward the realization of a divinely guided, justice-centered global order under the leadership of Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance). Believers, according to this worldview, bear a responsibility to prepare the cultural, social, and spiritual conditions necessary for the fulfillment of this divine promise.
In stark contrast, the Israeli regime is portrayed as a symbol of a secular, anti-God civilizational project—one that seeks to entrench a global order based on domination, injustice, occupation, and the systematic marginalization of divine values. From this vantage point, Zionism is not merely a political ideology, but a broader civilizational enterprise aimed at reshaping the region and the world through coercion, exclusion, and material power.
Accordingly, the conflict between the Resistance Front and the Israeli regime is framed as a confrontation between two competing visions of humanity, society, and the future of the world: one that prioritizes justice, devotion to God, and human dignity, and another that elevates power, hegemony, and material interests as supreme principles.
Ashura-centered thought and the paradigm of Imam Hussein’s uprising (peace be upon him) constitute a central pillar of Shiite identity in this struggle. The culture of Ashura calls on believers to resist oppression even under unequal and adverse conditions, and categorically rejects silence or neutrality in the face of injustice, deviation, and tyranny.
From this standpoint, opposition to the Israeli regime is not viewed as a temporary or tactical political choice, but as the natural and enduring outcome of adherence to the discourse of resistance, vigilant expectation, and the struggle against oppression. This confrontation, proponents argue, will persist until the complete dismantling of structures founded on occupation, injustice, and systemic violence.
The auspicious birth anniversary of Imam Hussein (peace be upon him) thus provides a renewed opportunity to revisit and reaffirm this discourse, highlighting the central role of Ashura culture in shaping the religious, moral, and civilizational identity of the Muslim Ummah in the face of contemporary challenges.
