📕 | Thank you very much, brother Wisam Bahrani. Kudos to you and your team—Mashallah, incredible work!

Indeed, the stance of Imam Khamenei on supporting Assad was clear: it is better to choose the lesser of two evils or the better option from a bad situation rather than supporting the worst. Whatever was imposed on Bashar was highly exaggerated and fabricated, although there were indeed issues related to justice and the economy. These, however, could have been resolved internally by the people of the land, rather than by foreigners of unknown origins who aimed to destroy and divide a historic nation while looting it entirely. Iran’s support for Bashar al-Assad is deeply rooted in ideological understanding, heavily influenced by Islamic principles, with no motivations beyond this foundation. Similarly, Shia leadership in the past supported the Ottoman Empire in its fight against the British, even though the Ottomans had oppressed Shias, plundered holy shrines, imposed unfair taxes, and besieged Shias for extended periods. Why did Ayatollah Shirazi support them? Because he had baseerah (foresight), which is essential for understanding complex and critical situations.

Even today, if Israel seeks to overthrow Erdogan and impose a puppet leader with a fake Islamic name like Mordechai or Julani, we would still support Erdogan’s existence, despite knowing his flaws. This is because it is necessary to impose regulations and avoid hypocritical stances in the face of greater threats.

Post-7th October, there has been a surge of new revolutionaries, whom we welcome wholeheartedly. However, there has also been an influx of fake grifters and opportunists—emerging from nowhere, like the Grand Canyon—who fail to understand that the Shia school they criticize has long been fighting against American, Israeli, British, and European incursions. While they abuse and dehumanize this school, it has consistently stood as a maktab (school) of pen and blood or pen and gun—a school that has opposed British imperialism for centuries. Yes, this is the Shia school. However, when we say “Shia school,” it does not mean that Sunni leaders were inactive. Sunni leaders have fought valiantly, but the current weakness in Sunni leadership globally poses a threat to the entire Muslim world and must be addressed.

The Shia marjayyah (religious authority) leadership has, in the past, shaken British invasions and defended the West Asian region with unyielding resolve. This influence extended beyond West Asia, as seen in the example of Molvi Muhammad Baqir Shaheed (r) of Delhi, India, who stood against the British. Another prime example is Ayatollah Mirza Muhammad Taqi Shirazi (r). During the occupation of Baghdad in 1917 CE (1296 AH), Britain betrayed its promise of granting Iraq independence after World War I, instead placing Iraq under a mandatory referendum and establishing the British Mandate over Iraq at the San Remo Conference. Ayatollah Shirazi’s fatwa stating, “No one but Muslims has the right to rule over Muslims,” laid the foundation for an uprising against Britain.

In the 1920 revolution in Iraq, the clergy, particularly Ayatollah Shirazi, led the resistance. His fatwa mobilized people for jihad against the British during the occupation of Basra. His followers refused to participate in the British referendum aimed at confirming Iraq’s protectorate status. Ayatollah Shirazi also formed the “Haidari Committee,” composed of clergy, to lead the armed revolution against the British.

It was not just the Shia population of Iraq that participated in this struggle. Ayatollah Shirazi called upon all Iraqis—Shias, Sunnis, Jews, and Christians—to unite and fight against the British. He understood that Western governments were actively trying to create divisions among Muslims to achieve colonial domination. In response, he worked tirelessly to foster unity between Sunnis and Shias, as demonstrated by his inclusive fatwas.

There is much to explore in the history of the marjayyah, and in future posts, we will delve deeper into its role.

The pioneers of this system over the past 1100 years include Imam Khomeini and Imam Khamenei, who elevated the marjayyah to its peak through the position of Wali al-Faqih (the jurist leader of Muslims). Imam Khamenei has shown the power of centralized leadership in combating the greatest evils in human history. What we see today is a result of his visionary leadership.

Similarly, the marjayyah in Najaf has been instrumental, particularly under the regional patronage of Ayatollah Sistani (H). Its fatwas, combined with the support and guidance of Imam Khamenei, led to the eradication of ISIS in just seven months. This remarkable achievement underscores the foresight, futuristic vision, and Islamic principles upheld by these leaders.

In the next series of posts, we will highlight more figures from Shia history who served as the Tufan al-Aqsa (storm of Al-Aqsa) of their times. Additionally, we will also explore the glorious anti-imperialist Sunni world of the past, which had many Sinwaars who shaped history...

🥀 O martyr son of her eminence, it is incredibly difficult to fathom the pain of a mother who needs you most at a time like this, but you choose to fight for the sake of the Almighty. The moment you left your home for the battlefield, your shahadat was accepted, and every step you took earned you immense reward. Here we are in 2025, witnessing sacrifices reminiscent of those from the first Hijri, 7th Hijri, and the 61st Hijri...Badr, Uhad and Karbala. It is truly heart-wrenching. In a place where we possess the power of words to declare our strength, we are still overwhelmed with emotion and tears. Indeed, this is our Sunnah—to express grief, can't hold tears!

🇮🇷 Breaking | Imam Khamenei (H) in his speech on the occasion of Eid al-Besah:

“The world’s oppressive and satanic powers still covet the natural resources, culture, and national and Islamic identity of nations. Today, the clearest example of colonialism and arrogance is the United States government, which is under the influence of global financial powers.”

“We are facing all three stages of colonialism today. The oppressive and satanic powers of the world still covet the natural resources of countries and nations, their authentic cultures, and their national and Islamic identities. They aim to destroy and take control of them. Of course, not all are the same; at the top of this list is the United States.”

“The clearest example of colonialism and arrogance today is the United States government, which operates under the influence of the world’s top financial powers. These leading global financial forces dominate several Western governments—chiefly the U.S. government—and control them. What they refer to as “cartels” and “trusts” are behind this dominance and are the ones planning all three stages of colonialism.”

This resistance movement is a reflection of the Prophet’s mission. Resistance, which began in Islamic Iran, awakened the Muslim nations. It brought some Muslim nations into action and generally awakened the consciences of Muslims, and even many non-Muslims. The oppressive global system was exposed and introduced. Many nations did not recognize this system before, but it has now been revealed.

Look at Gaza: Gaza, a small and limited region, brought the heavily armed Zionist regime, fully backed by the U.S., to its knees. Gaza made the Zionist regime surrender. Is this a joke? This is a manifestation of resistance. This is faith and reason. This is the recitation of Quranic verses. It is reliance on God and belief in “Indeed, all honor belongs to Allah.”

Hezbollah suffered a loss as great as the absence of a figure like Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah. This is no small matter. How many great figures in the world today are at the caliber of Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, may Allah bless his soul, this honorable martyr? Such a figure was lost from Hezbollah. Both friends and foes thought Hezbollah was finished. However, Hezbollah proved that not only has it not ended, but in some cases, its motivation has grown even stronger, enabling it to stand firm against the Zionist regime.

☑️ Whatever Trump is spewing in the name of displacing Palestinians has no value at all, but for brewing this propaganda, all Hasbara media is working and troubling weak Islamic nations like Egypt, Jordan, and Albania. There is a media campaign falsely related to the news and rumors that Egypt is cooperating, Jordan is ready, and Albania is prepared.

Yes, maybe these nations might give in—what can be expected from such countries with no backbone to stand for long—but they cannot do this; they know better. This is the time where colonial powers work: if you solely rely on external powers, you damage civilization for your pockets and mafias and have no faith or seriousness to secure your nation.

The overloaded loans and debt on Egypt will affect it a lot if they reject the plan. Jordan, whose 50% water supply is under Israeli control, is under immense pressure, as are other nations eating loans and funds from Western NGOs like Albania, which also hosts the largest terrorist cells against Iran, such as MEK—a backyard of American and European powers.

We must realize that Israel is the only country to receive continuous foreign aid.

Does anyone think it’s far-fetched that accepting Palestinian refugees—i.e., participating in Israel’s ethnic cleansing—could be part of a transaction to turn Jordan against Palestinians?

as an analyst writes, "If people are wondering what deal Witkoff made with Netanyahu for a hostage exchange Trump could showcase at his inauguration, this might be a part of it."

Egypt, in the long term, has no choice. Accept refugees or face internal destabilization. Those threats have already been made. Egypt is not a “sovereign” nation; it is largely owned by Israel, Gulf States, IMF, EU, and the US. The alternative is a genuine popular uprising, but this would be bloody. Sayyid of Yemen mentioned long ago that Egypt is on the verge of collapse and warned about Jordan’s danger too.

Is Trump going to attack Gaza and restart the battle? It seems no American knows, but it is certain they cannot defeat Hamas or other factions, even in a parallel universe.

What the Americans have been planning for months is to politically and otherwise extend the war, as repeatedly stated by their officials. Americans are expanding their cruel terror machine to destabilize Iraq, Turkey, and Pakistan, but their main focus is on Afghanistan with the ultimate goal of hurting Iran.

We believe that the main game of Trump is not just Palestinians, but destabilizing other Islamic nations using this crisis. America is using Palestine as a pretext, and if it succeeds (though it seems impossible), the plan would be to target other nations one by one.

Are these nations ready? Unfortunately, as of now, no. Many developments are yet to come, and we have to wait.

✅ As of now, many critical issues are ongoing in Africa, which is completely blacked out and censored by so-called media outlets, so-called human rights organizations, and so-called preachers and religious outlets, who are nothing more than stooges of global Zionism.

Africa has been in turmoil for a long time, with problems and chaos fueled by Gulf countries, Americans, and Europeans funding terrorist groups to fully destabilize the region. Hunger, starvation, brutal massacres, mass burials, field executions, slavery, and rape are being used as war tools.

The UAE, the “great UAE,” and the “apple of the eye” of Zionist-Dawah hounds, is massacring innocents in Sudan. Somalia is also in turmoil, while Congo, Djibouti, Chad, and even countries like Tanzania may face unrest soon.

israel seeks to establish a foothold in Eritrea to counter Yemen and has been observed using planes for spying and other activities.

The Sahel region has become “ground zero” for one of the world’s most brutal crises. Over the past three years, terrorism-related deaths have soared past 6,000 annually, making up more than half of all global fatalities. Burkina Faso has emerged as the epicenter of this violence, with a staggering 68% increase in terrorism deaths.

UAE’s funding is reaching local terrorist groups, including Al-Qaeda and Daesh, further fueling instability in the region. Rwanda is once again in trouble, with terrorist groups like M23 re-emerging and spreading chaos in the cities. Meanwhile, Sudan’s massacre continues to unfold, with hospitals attacked by drones, and mass killings becoming a daily reality.

Despite these atrocities, there is no coverage, no discussions, and no serious thoughts about the ongoing crises in Africa. The deliberate silence of the global community and so-called human rights organizations is enabling this cycle of brutality and neglect to continue.

Africa’s condition continues to worsen under the deliberate neglect and exploitation of global powers, driven by their colonial and economic agendas.

This is what we see, how this applies to nations like Egypt, Jordan, and others, which are built like fragile house of cards that can collapse at any moment. The U.S. is also using economic pressure in Iraq, in its attempt to weaken the resistance.

🇱🇧 Breaking | Jamat al-Islami of Lebanon released a statement:

The Return of the Southerners and Gazans to Their Destroyed Towns Marks the Beginning of the End of the Occupation Entity

We, in the Islamic Group in Lebanon, have followed the return of the people of Southern Lebanon to their destroyed towns and villages, despite the aggressive measures of the occupation, including the shooting of unarmed civilians to prevent them from reaching their destroyed homes. We also witnessed the return of tens of thousands of Gazans, walking on foot, to their destroyed homes and towns in Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip. This image affirms the determination of the Southerners and Gazans to hold onto their land and their rights, and their rejection of the forced displacement projects that the Israeli occupation sought to impose as a fait accompli. In light of this scene, filled with the meanings of pride, dignity, and defiance against the occupation, we affirm the following:

• The return of the people to their towns, villages, and cities despite the destruction caused by the Israeli aggression confirms their adherence to their land and their rights, and their rejection of all displacement projects, thus definitively nullifying any attempt in this direction.

• The scene of tens of thousands of Gazans walking on foot in long lines, and the return of the Southerners despite the occupation’s assaults, marks the beginning of the demise and end of the Israeli occupation entity. No more emigration or displacement, but liberation and return.

• We honor the stance, resilience, and patience of the Southerners and Gazans, highly appreciating the sacrifices they made and endured. We believe this has eliminated any opportunity for the occupiers to think of remaining in Palestine.

• The return of the Southerners and Gazans to their destroyed homes has confirmed that the true axis of the conflict is with the Israeli occupation. Any diversion of this axis is a distortion of the true purpose of the struggle and an attempt to distort the clear image of the victory achieved over the occupation.
