Cleric: Global Arrogance Names Seyyed Ali Khamenei as the Flagbearer of Truth and Justice
Hujjat al-Islam Hamid Hassanzadeh, in an interview with Taghrib News Agency(TNA), referring to the Guardianship of the Islamic Jurist (Wilayat al-Faqih) as one of the attributes of the infallible Imams (AS) and the great Prophet of Islam (PBUH), said: The Prophet (PBUH) had several attributes, some exclusive to himself and some transferable to the Imams and their representatives.

He emphasized: The first attribute is receiving revelation, which is exclusive to the Prophet (PBUH), but governance and judgment are two attributes that can be transferred to the infallible Imams (AS), and subsequently to their special deputies and, finally, to the general deputies, among whom the Supreme Leader is counted as a general deputy. Wilayat al-Faqih is the legitimate and rational ruler of the Islamic government
The Iranian cleric added: Governance and judgment are regarded as the attributes of the Supreme Leader; at all times, the limitations and acceptance of the Supreme Leader are respected by all sectors of the nation. Therefore, the Supreme Leader, both legally and rationally, is the ruler of the Islamic government, and it is obligatory for everyone to support a legitimate and accepted Islamic ruler.
He further stressed: The threats of assassination against the Leader by the United States and the usurping Zionist regime are a threat to the entire Islamic identity and Muslim nations. For example, currently, Ayatollah Sistani is a marja‘ (religious authority) whose followers exist not only in Iran but also in Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and even the United States. Threatening a religious marja‘ means threatening the entire Islamic Ummah
Hassanzadeh continued: Just as the Supreme Leader is the Wilayat al-Faqih of the time and a religious marja‘ whose followers exist worldwide, threatening such a religious reference is equivalent to threatening the entire Islamic Ummah.
He said: Undoubtedly, if such an event occurs, it would be a global incident, and enemies will avoid making such a mistake. Therefore, it is necessary for everyone to always support and back the Supreme Leader.
Hujjat al-Islam Hassanzadeh also highlighted the importance of supporting the leadership: We are not merely supporting a political ruler, but currently, people and the free world support a religious marja‘. Moreover, Islamic countries that follow the Supreme Leader regard him as their religious authority. The status of religious marja‘ is higher than Islamic governance
He noted: The status of a religious marja‘ transcends Islamic governance, which is limited to a part of the world; however, religious marja‘ship belongs to the entire world, making this issue important and necessary not only for us but for all Islamic countries.
The cleric emphasized: We also witnessed the reaction of Ayatollah Sistani, the Islamic Ummah, and the great religious maraji‘ to the assassination threat against the Leader by the U.S. President Trump, which itself demonstrates the significance of the Supreme Leader's position in the Islamic society. The Prophet (PBUH) was the flagbearer of truth and justice
He added: In every era where the guardianship of God and the guardianship of the tyrants or the forces of mercy and the forces of Satan have confronted each other, each side has a flagbearer. In the time of the Prophet (PBUH), Abu Sufyan, Abu Lahab, and Abu Jahl were the flagbearers of the tyrants and Satan, while the Prophet (PBUH) was the flagbearer of truth, justice, and Islam.
Hujjat al-Islam Hassanzadeh concluded: Naturally, if in those times someone from Abu Sufyan, Abu Lahab, or Abu Jahl had been asked whose absence would have benefited them, they would have named the Prophet (PBUH).
He continued: Currently, if one asks the United States, Israel, tyrants, and global arrogance who stands against them and holds the flag of truth and justice against them, they would say “Seyyed Ali Khamenei.”
