Tehran Friday Prayer Leader: US and Israeli Strategic Defeat in the Region Has Become Evident

Aboutorabi-Fard stressed that US military aggression has become a determining factor in shifting the balance of power in favor of Iran and the Axis of Resistance, saying: "Without US warmongering, we would not be at this point of power today, and the strategic Strait of Hormuz would not be in the hands of Iran's armed forces."

He added: "US bases in the region have been reduced to ruins, and Iran has assumed the position of the central pillar of order and power in the strategic Southwest Asian region."

Enemy's Focus on Reducing National Resilience

The Tehran Friday Prayer Leader stated: "The focal point of the enemy's strategy, after experiencing harsh defeats in the military and political arenas, is to disrupt stability and reduce national resilience." Citing the message of the Supreme Leader, he emphasized national unity and cohesion as the main pillar of resilience.

The End of Western Imperial Presence in the Region

Referring to developments in Yemen, Aboutorabi-Fard said: "The end of the Western imperial presence in the strategic Southwest Asian region has arrived, and the illegal and inhumane siege of Yemen must come to an end."

He stressed: "Security and stability in West Asia, the Red Sea, Bab al-Mandab, the Persian Gulf, and the Strait of Hormuz will only be achieved by respecting the rights and dignity of the Yemeni nation and the great nations of the region."

Call on Islamic Countries to Safeguard Their Dignity

The Friday Prayer Leader called on Islamic countries, especially Persian Gulf states, to spearhead this great regional transformation and pave the way for freedom, independence, and the greatness of the region's nations.

He added: "Experience has shown that relations with the US do not add to dignity and authority; rather, relations with Muslim nations and strengthening ties among Islamic governments are what bring honor."

Emphasis on Coordination Between the Field, Diplomacy, and Service

In conclusion, Aboutorabi-Fard emphasized that the unity of the nation and coordination between the field, the streets, diplomacy, and service are the secrets of Iranian authority, saying: "The 12-day sacred defense, the victorious Ramadan and Hormuz battles showed that coherent national will is our greatest triumph, and we must protect this immense national asset."
