The Friday prayer leader of Sari has declared that Iran faces no restrictions on the range of its missiles or on targeting enemy bases, warning that any hostile move will bring even the most distant US bases within reach of Iranian strikes.
Hawzah News Agency- Hojatoleslam Mohammad-Baqer Mohammadi Laeini, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Mazandaran Province, made the remarks during his Friday prayer sermons in Sari, according to a report by the Hawza News Agency.
The Sermon of Fadak: Divine Versus Satanic Uprisings
Referring to Hazrat Zahra's (PBUH) Sermon of Fadak, Mohammadi Laeini said the noble lady stated that "Satan roused you and you rose up lightly," from which it can be concluded that some uprisings are satanic while others are divine. He described all the uprisings of the divine prophets as divine, noting that after the demise of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) a satanic uprising occurred, and in contrast stood the uprising of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH), who alone stood against the deviations.
Reason Versus Blind Conformity
The cleric identified the invitation to thought and reflection as one of the distinguishing features of divine uprisings, stating: "In a divine uprising, people are invited to thought and intellect; but in satanic calls, people are wanted blind and deaf. Daesh terrorists, the rioters, Takfiri Wahhabism, and the Zionists are alien to reason."
Referring to the global uprising of Hazrat Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), the Friday prayer leader said: "We await a superior and all-encompassing uprising that will realize the goals of all the divine prophets and guardians."
"Whatever Harm Befell the Religious Authorities Came from Lack of Piety"
At the start of his second sermon, Mohammadi Laeini advised divine piety, stating: "Whatever harm befell the religious authorities came from lack of piety; had they been pious, such audacities would not have been directed at them."
Referring to Hazrat Zahra's (PBUH) sermon, he noted: "According to Hazrat Fatima (PBUH), God Almighty made the rulings obligatory based on justice so that people might find tranquility; and if they know that the judicial system acts based on justice, they will submit to the court." He added that the noble lady also stated that enjoining good and forbidding evil was made obligatory for the public interest.
Martyrs Honored
Condoling the martyrdom anniversary of Hazrat Fatima Zahra (PBUH) to Imam Mahdi (may God hasten his reappearance), Mohammadi Laeini noted: "Today, ten honored martyrs who were found through the efforts of the search group were buried with grandeur in our city, and two nights ago the farewell ceremony for these martyrs and martyr Mohammadzadeh was held with fervor and grandeur in Imam Hussein Square."
Economic Concerns: National Currency and Bread Prices
Referring to his two customary reminders in the second sermon, the representative of the Supreme Leader in Mazandaran said: "One of these reminders is the issue of the economy, livelihoods, and remedying high prices and inflation. The people understand the wartime conditions, but a measure must be taken so that the value of the national currency rises and the domination of the dollar is lifted from this nation."
Cultural Concerns: Hijab and Modesty
The Friday prayer leader of Sari identified cultural issues, especially hijab and chastity, as his second customary reminder, stating: "Some scenes are not compatible with the dignity and status of the Muslim woman whose model is Fatima Zahra (PBUH). The spread of shamelessness and nudity can be corrected with proper decisions; jihadi and propagation groups must become active, and the education system in schools must teach hijab, because many do not know that hijab is obligatory."
"No Geographic Limits in Defense"
Referring to the remarks of the Supreme Leader in his meeting with senior commanders, Mohammadi Laeini said: "One of the key points was the removal of geographic restrictions in the realm of defense; in other words, wherever it is necessary to extinguish the enemy's fire, it must be struck."
The Friday prayer leader of Sari added: "It is possible that the most distant US bases in Europe and beyond could also be targeted. The spokesman of the IRGC has also announced an upgrade in missile range, and we have no restrictions on missile range; therefore, we tell the enemy that if it makes the slightest mistake, any base, near or far, that we wish will be under our strikes."
Assembly of Experts Statement: Reviewing NPT Withdrawal and Defense Doctrine
Referring to the recent statement of Iran’s Assembly of Experts, Mohammadi Laeini said: "Important points were raised in this statement, including examining withdrawal from the NPT and reviewing the defense doctrine. We declare that our people seriously demand a review of the defense doctrine and an examination of withdrawal from the NPT, and officials must carry out the necessary reviews."
"Satanic Uprisings Are Accompanied by Violence and Crime"
Referring to the second distinguishing feature of satanic uprisings versus divine uprisings, he said: "Satanic uprisings are accompanied by anger, violence, brutality, and crime; with what violence did Daesh, the rioters, and the Zionists act. Hazrat Zahra (PBUH) said that Satan invited you to violence. Today too, Saudi forces in Yemen, the UAE in Africa, and the Zionists in Gaza are committing crimes; in the cold and rain, the people of Gaza have no bread or warm clothing, and the only crossing, Rafah, is also closed."
