Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Mohammad Faruq Hossain, a Bangladeshi researcher and preacher, said in remarks that the use of threatening and provocative language by US President Donald Trump constitutes a blatant violation of international law, diplomatic norms, and fundamental human values.
He stressed that such rhetoric reflects the growing impasse faced by hegemonic powers in confronting shifting regional and global realities.
“Resorting to threats against a religious and political leader of Ayatollah Khamenei’s stature is not a demonstration of strength,” he said. “Rather, it exposes the frustration of those who have failed, time and again, to weaken the Islamic Republic through other means.”
The Bangladeshi cleric noted that since the victory of Iran’s Islamic Revolution in 1979, the United States, the Israeli regime, and certain Western allies have employed a wide array of instruments — including economic sanctions, political pressure, psychological warfare, and security plots — in an effort to undermine the Islamic Republic.
“Despite decades of sanctions, imposed war, destabilization campaigns, and covert operations, the Islamic Republic has endured,” he said. “The persistence of such threats today can only be interpreted as an admission that previous strategies have not achieved their intended objectives.”
Hossain emphasized that Ayatollah Khamenei should not be viewed merely as an individual figure, but as a symbol of the Islamic Revolution, the collective will of the Iranian nation, and the voice of oppressed and freedom-seeking peoples worldwide.
“Any threat against him,” he stated, “is in reality a threat against the unity and dignity of the Islamic Ummah.”
Referring to historical experience, the cleric argued that intimidation, sanctions, and external pressure have consistently failed to halt movements grounded in what he described as justice and resistance. On the contrary, he said, such measures have often strengthened internal cohesion and reinforced what supporters call the Axis of Resistance.
He further claimed that the role of the United States, the Israeli regime, and certain Western governments in fomenting instability in various countries — including Iran — has become increasingly evident to global public opinion. He asserted that self-proclaimed defenders of democracy and human rights of, in practice, are supporting unrest and anti-government activities abroad through financial, media, and political backing.
Hossain also pointed to moral and political crises within parts of the Western establishment, arguing that escalating Islamophobia and hostility toward Muslim nations are frequently used to divert attention from domestic challenges.
According to the Bangladeshi scholar, opposition by the United States and the Israeli regime to Islamic movements is rooted in a long-standing hostility toward political Islam and independent governance models.
“The discourse of Islamic awakening, the culture of resistance, and the pursuit of political sovereignty represent a serious challenge to hegemonic structures,” he said. “For this reason, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, as a symbol of this discourse, has consistently been the target of propaganda campaigns and threats.”
In conclusion, Hossain called on Muslims worldwide, as well as advocates of human rights and independent international institutions, to take a firm stance against what he described as state-sponsored intimidation and interventionist policies.
He urged greater efforts to present what he called “the realities of Western interference” on the global stage and prayed for the protection of the Islamic Republic, its leadership, and the broader Muslim community against external plots and hostilities.
