AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): A member of the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, emphasizing the role of the integration of “faith, knowledge, and national will” in the strength of the Islamic Republic of Iran, stated that the Iranian nation, relying on these three components, stands against the hegemonic system. Today, the flag of the country has become a symbol of national unity and solidarity among various segments and generations of society.
Hojat al-Islam Seyyed Reza Ameli analyzed the historical and ideological roots of the recent tensions between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the United States.
Referring to recent statements by some American officials, including Lindsey Graham, a Republican senator who had said that 2026 could be an opportunity to resolve a two-thousand-year-old conflict, he added, “The constitution of that country was formalized in 1775. The United States has been at war for nearly all of its 251-year history, with only sixteen years of its existence spent without war.”
He continued, “This country, which was not native to its land, was established by the English, French, and other Europeans, those who drove out the original owners of the land and, with a contemptuous view, considered Native Americans to be soulless and akin to animals. The same view they held toward the people of Africa during the colonial era. One of the most horrific crimes of that period was casting nearly one hundred million Africans into the sea; when slave ships were tossed about by the waves, the colonialists would throw people overboard like excess cargo to lighten the ships, justifying it by claiming that these people had no souls and lacked humanity.”
Dr. Ameli, analyzing the enemy's situation, emphasized, "The Americans cannot endure a war of attrition. Right now, all the infrastructure of the usurping Israel and the fundamental infrastructure of the United States in the region have been destroyed, but they cannot articulate this reality and see the banner of defeat raised above them."
Warning about the importance of planning for the future, he noted, "We must think about the day after the war starts from today. We cannot remain merely engaged with the present moment; rather, by relying on this immense social capital and this national will, we must chart the roadmap for Iran's development and progress in the post-war era."
