🇮🇷 | This afternoon, a civilian vessel entered the territorial waters of the Islamic Republic of Iran. Upon detecting this, Iranian border units requested the vessel to present the necessary permits.

The vessel did not possess any legal authorization to be present in these waters. Accordingly, it was issued a warning, after which it immediately exited Iranian territorial waters. No security incident occurred, and the claim made by the British company is false.

🇮🇷 | Initial reports indicate that a U.S. F-35 aggresor fighter jet has shot down an Iranian Shahed-139 drone that was flying toward the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier. Details to follow. The report was published by Reuters, and there has been no official comment from the Iranian side. It should therefore be taken with caution until confirmed by official sources.

🇮🇷🇺🇸🇪🇺🇮🇱 - Here is how American and European sanctions destroyed the Iranian economy:

Since the 1980s, the Iranian economy has been hit by American sanctions. In 2002, it ranked 29th in the global GDP ranking, ahead of Israel and the Emirates, and approaching Turkey, all despite American sanctions. In 2010, it reached 22nd place. The trajectory was clear.

Then came the so-called "heavy" sanctions from the United States and Europe. First round in 2010: drop to 26th place. Second round in 2017: collapse to 44th place.

The Iranian economy today is worth 357 billion dollars. Turkey's economy amounts to 1.5 trillion dollars. These sanctions were put in place from the start to provoke an economic collapse and break the country's internal unity.

The sanctions were officially imposed on Iran for its "nuclear program," but above all because it is the only country that supports the Palestinian people and certain regional actors against Israeli interests, and refuses to submit to Western diktats.

Many regimes in the world, especially Arab ones in West Asia, do things that are absolutely at odds with the ideals of "democracy" and "freedom" promoted by the West, but they will never be politically or media-wise troubled because their submission to American and Israeli imperialists is total.

Iran, on the contrary, is systematically singled out, and many now understand why some Arab regimes do not move: out of fear, but above all out of cowardice, because they could face the same political fate and media execution as Iran.

It is the people who suffer first from these sanctions that ravage the Iranian economy. Until today, no international outrage, no demonstration, no "activist" or political figure has stepped up to take concrete actions to fight the sanctions and truly help the Iranian people.

They wake up when Iran makes the headlines, but always for anti-regime and anti-Islamic Republic topics. They ride the wave, so to speak, to get their share of views, "likes," and show their loyalty to the Zionists by saying: "See, I talked about it!"

A deafening silence, or worse, complicity, insofar as they play the game of the United States and Israel to "bring down the regime," while echoing the American narrative.

🟨 | Speech of H.E. Shaykh Naim Qassim (H) on 03/02/2026: (1/10)

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

All praise is due to Allah, Lord of the worlds. Blessings and peace be upon the noblest of creation, our master, beloved, and leader Abul-Qasim Muhammad (A), upon his pure and immaculate Household (A), his righteous and chosen Companions (A), and upon all the prophets and the righteous (A) until the Day of Judgment.

Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Today we gather at the ceremony of the Islamic Institution for Education and Learning, Imam al-Mahdi Schools (A), on the thirty-third anniversary of the establishment of this institution and its schools. This obliges us to begin by speaking about Imam al-Mahdi (A), because this anniversary is connected to the blessed birth of the Imam of the Age, Imam al-Mahdi (A). We consider this occasion to be the foundation, the source, and the point of departure. Therefore, I will speak about three matters: first, the anniversary of the birth of Imam al-Mahdi (A); second, the thirty-third anniversary of the Islamic Institution for Education and Learning; and third, the general political situation.

I begin with the birth of Imam al-Mahdi (A). From where do we begin? We begin with faith in Almighty Allah as the One and Only Creator who created all of humanity, and who sent the prophets and messengers. The Seal and Master of the Prophets and Messengers is the Prophet Muhammad (A), whom Allah sent with the message of Islam through the Holy Qur’an. Likewise, the narrations, hadiths, and stances taken by the Messenger of Allah (A) were a practical embodiment of what Allah intended. Hence the saying:

“Nor does he speak from his own desire; it is nothing but revelation sent down,” meaning that whatever the Prophet Muhammad (A) says is from Allah, whether expressed through words or actions.

From here, when we return to the Holy Qur’an and to the noble Prophetic traditions, we find that they affirm the existence of a man who will appear at the end of time, Imam al-Mahdi (A). This is a matter of consensus among Muslims, both Sunnis and Shi‘a alike, based on the Qur’an and the Prophetic traditions. Muslims unanimously agree that Imam al-Mahdi will appear at the end of time. The difference is that the Shi‘a, in particular, believe that the appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (A) refers to an existing person, Muhammad ibn al-Hasan al-Mahdi, born from the lineage of the Messenger of Allah (A), from the lineage of Fatimah al-Zahra (A), through the lineage of Imam al-Husayn (A), descending from the Commander of the Faithful Ali (A), until we reach Imam al-Mahdi (A), the twelfth Imam of the Imams of the Ahl al-Bayt (A). He was born in the year 255 AH, entered occultation from public view in the year 329 AH, remains in occultation by the will of Allah, and will reappear one day.

(2/10):

I will not discuss whether this long life is possible or impossible. No. It is possible, because this is the will of Allah the Exalted, and this is His decision. How do we believe in this matter? We believe through the Qur’anic verses and the narrations. Therefore, the discussion is not about these details. Rather, the fundamental discussion must be about the existence of Imam al-Mahdi (A). He said:

“Indeed, Pharaoh exalted himself in the land and divided its people into factions, oppressing a group among them, slaughtering their sons and sparing their women. Indeed, he was of the corrupters. And We intended to bestow favor upon those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors.”

From this noble verse, specifically His saying, “And We intended to bestow favor upon those who were oppressed in the land, and to make them leaders, and to make them the inheritors,” we understand, according to the narrations that interpret it, that it is an expression of the promise of the appearance of Imam al-Mahdi (A).

In a narration from the Messenger of Allah (A), he said:

“The Mahdi is from my descendants. He will have an occultation and a period of confusion during which nations will go astray. He will come with the legacy of the prophets, and he will fill the earth with justice and equity just as it had been filled with oppression and injustice.”

This is a clear statement, explicitly naming him and identifying his lineage. Accordingly, we believe in the promise of Allah to us that Imam al-Mahdi (A) will appear. This promise gives us determination and strength. We are required to believe in it as part of our faith in Allah, in the Messenger (A), and in the Islamic system, because this has been transmitted from the Prophet and from the interpretation of the Qur’anic verses.

The second matter is that this world is full of great trials, and the tests that occur in it cause a person to live through difficult and complex situations. Allah has informed us that this world is a place of trial, testing, examination, and eventual passing away. This means that whoever expects to be completely at ease in this world will not find such comfort. So what should we do? Allah said that when you face trials, be patient and endure, because one day you will be rewarded by Allah on the Day of Resurrection. But Allah the Exalted wanted to grant us an additional gift. He said that even in this world, when you find hardships closing in on you, disbelief spreading, and oppression spreading, do not think that this will continue forever. Even in this world, although the scene may appear as though deviation prevails, arrogance dominates, and all these oppressive forces seem to be in control, Allah says no. Even in this world there is a divine promise of victory. Not just any victory, but a decisive, great, and influential victory that will overturn the balance on the level of all humanity from beginning to end. “He will fill the earth with justice and equity after it had been filled with oppression and injustice.” This promise is extremely important. It means that the trials we see should be dealt with as temporary trials, or at least trials that continue for some people for a period of time, while others will be victorious with this great victory, in addition to the partial victories that occur before it.

Allah the Exalted said:

“Or did you think that you would enter Paradise while there has not yet come to you the example of those who passed on before you? They were afflicted with hardship and adversity and were shaken until the Messenger and those who believed with him said, ‘When is the help of Allah?’ Indeed, the help of Allah is near.”

The promise of victory exists alongside all trials and all difficulties. Today we witness complexities in the world, and we ask: is it still possible to succeed? Is it possible to achieve a great victory? Yes, you will be victorious, Allah willing. And this victory is apart from the great victory that will occur with Imam al-Mahdi (A).

The third important point is that this hope we possess gives us additional motivation. Even if hope did not exist, we would still be required to be religious and patient, because this world is a place of trial. But the Lord of the worlds wants to honor us and give us more. He says no, this hope must exist within you. What does this hope do? It gives us motivation, confidence, and greater courage. It makes us confront challenges no matter how difficult they are, because even in this world there is the possibility, since we have been promised, that Imam al-Mahdi (A) will appear.

What, then, is the condition of the believers? The condition of the believers is that these individuals are distinguished during the absence of the Messenger and during the absence of the Imams (A) altogether. Meaning that when they are in a state of absence, they will have a special capacity, rank, and esteem with Allah the Exalted. In the noble hadith from the Messenger of Allah (A), he said, addressing his companions:
“There will come a people after you. There will come a people after you, and one man among them will have the reward of fifty of you.”
They said, “O Messenger of Allah, we were with you at Badr, Hunayn, and Uhud, the Qur’an was revealed among us, and we are your companions. All of this happened with your presence and your existence.”
He (A) replied, “If you were to bear what they will bear, you would not endure with their patience.”

Meaning that you, the people of today who live across the globe in this era, who witness disbelief, deviation, and oppression attempting to dominate, committing the most horrific crimes, massacres, atrocities, and deviations, and overflowing with tyranny, those among you who remain patient, O believers in Imam al-Mahdi (A), O believers in Allah the Exalted and in His great heavenly message, each one of you through your striving is equal to fifty of those who were with the Messenger of Allah (A). What rank and greatness could be greater than this?

Some people say, how do you remain patient? How do you continue to act? My brother, someone who has such gifts and such a divine promise, would he not remain patient? Yes, he remains patient and endures, because he will receive a reward in this world through victory and success, or through martyrdom. After that, he will have a great reward with Allah the Exalted, and humanity as a whole will benefit from the presence of Imam al-Mahdi (A). We act on this basis.

Here it is necessary, on the occasion of the forty-seventh anniversary of the victory of the blessed Islamic Revolution in Iran, to congratulate this people, the leadership, and all those working in the Islamic Republic of Iran on the great victory that occurred in the year 1979 at the hands of Imam al-Khomeini (A). Thereafter, under the leadership of Imam al-Khamenei (A), this republic has given a great light of freedom, integrity, ethics, jihad, resistance, liberation, and dignity at the level of the believing human being across the earth. Congratulations to this republic, congratulations to this blessed revolution, congratulations to the Iranian people, congratulations to all the oppressed of the world, Muslims and others alike, on this great victory. Allah willing, Iran will continue as the crown jewel of the world and will continue to be able to defeat America and “Israel” in the confrontations taking place in these times and in this era, because whoever is with Allah cannot but be victorious, Allah willing. Likewise, whoever carries the banner of Imam al-Mahdi will also be victorious. Imam al-Khomeini (A) used to say, “This Islamic Republic is the state of the Master of the Age and the Time. May our souls be sacrificed for the dust beneath his feet.” Why? Because it proceeds upon his path and his line, awaiting him to be the leader of the nation and of the world.

The noblest, most honorable, and greatest expression of a human being’s humanity on the face of the earth, wherever that person may be, is to believe in Allah the Exalted, to follow His law, to learn noble character traits, and to practice them in daily life.

The upbringing provided by Imam al-Mahdi Schools is the upbringing of the prophets, the messengers, and the Imams (A). This upbringing received by students in Imam al-Mahdi Schools has led to love of the homeland, defense of the land, and support for the oppressed. Today, when we speak of martyrs from among the educational staff, the students, and the families, what is the reason? It is the result of a broader educational condition in both the school and society. The school is a contributing factor, though not the only one. Students enter these schools by the will and consent of their families. Those students who study and remain are shaped by these great educational methodologies, which ultimately lead to defense, struggle, honorable and noble political action, and assuming practical responsibilities with integrity, commitment, and adherence to the path of Islam.

Students of Imam al-Mahdi Schools excel in knowledge, action, ethics, resistance, love of the homeland, attachment to the land, and the desire for the revival of this country through a shared and unifying renaissance with all. Yes, they are cautious of corruption, deviation, and injustice. They avoid disobedience to Allah the Exalted. They strive not to fall into what is unlawful. They do not take the rights of others. They do not surrender to the enemy. They do not commit forbidden acts. If this is considered an accusation, then by Allah one must ask who is making the accusation. Certainly, the corrupt will not be pleased with those who walk in obedience to Allah the Exalted. Otherwise, tell me, what exactly is the objection against them? Why are these criticisms raised? Why educate them this way? At times they are told they resemble us, and at other times they are told they do not resemble us. Who are you for them to resemble you? Even we do not say to anyone, resemble us. We act in order to resemble what Allah the Exalted wants. We act in order to resemble uprightness. Whoever wishes to measure himself should go to the correct standard and see how close he is to it and how far he is from it.

As for the homeland and citizenship, this is realized through adherence to laws and regulations and cooperation among different parties, and this is already achieved. I say that a student of Imam al-Mahdi Schools prays, and then moves through life with humanity, social awareness, and moral character. A female student of Imam al-Mahdi Schools wears her hijab and thereby elevates her family and her society to the ranks of dignity, honor, and resistance. The educator in Imam al-Mahdi Schools has chosen the path of wholesome life, honorable life, and upright life, in order to raise a generation upon a life pleasing to Allah the Exalted, through which humanity itself is elevated. Let Satan and his supporters live with their disgrace and shame when confronted by the example of these righteous students.

Look at the wide turnout, by the grace of Allah the Exalted, and the large numbers. There are no fewer than thirty-five thousand male and female students due to this strong demand for these great schools.

I will conclude by asking the noble and hardworking educational staff, along with the administrative staff, officials, and general administration, to stand so that we may recite together the Supplication of the Covenant for Imam al-Mahdi (A):

“O Allah, be for Your representative, al-Hujjah ibn al-Hasan, Your blessings be upon him and upon his forefathers, in this hour and in every hour, a guardian, a protector, a leader, a supporter, a guide, and a watchful eye, until You cause him to dwell upon Your earth in obedience and grant him enjoyment therein for a long time, by Your mercy, O Most Merciful of the merciful.”
