- Arabs denied they will invest
- US refused to give Iran its frozen assets (and it’s definitely not 100b)
- US refused to tame its dog and get it out of S-Lebanon, despite an entire MoU clause being dedicated to this matter
- US established an illegal & unauthorised southern corridor to bypass Iran’s authority in the Strait of Hormoz
- US officials continued with threats to assassinate and kill Iranians

… need I say more?
as well as to the invaluable intellectuals and elites, the commanders, tribal leaders, sheikhs, and heads of clans, along with the noble, compassionate citizens and the zealous, honorable youth of the oppressed country of Iraq.
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
We extend our greetings, salutations, highest regards, and deepest appreciation to the esteemed maraji', revered scholars, professors, and faculty of the Islamic seminaries and universities,
and have shown steadfast effort in the Resistance Front. Like the people of Iran, in their welcoming of the magnanimous martyred Leader (may God exalt his noble station), they’ve created a monumental, deeply meaningful epic filled with profound grief and heartfelt devotion.
The faithful people of Iraq are blessed with the immense privilege of living near and hosting the Ahl al-Bayt (pbut) in the Holy Shrines. They have a brilliant cultural heritage; possess a spiritual, guiding foundation such as the luminous, ancient Islamic seminary of Najaf;
Iraq became a blessed land from the moment the sacred feet of our Master, the Commander of the Faithful (pbuh), touched its soil. Soon after that, its people proudly adorned themselves with the mantle of love and wilayah of Imam Ali and his pure descendants (pbut).
The periods of domination by tyrants and oppressive rulers over this land could never erase the pure essence of this wilayah and love for the Pure Progeny [of the Prophet] from the hearts of the Iraqi people.
The unprecedented, million-strong funeral procession for the standard-bearer of Resistance [Martyr Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei] vividly demonstrated the full extent of the empathy, brotherhood, and solidarity that exists between the two nations of Iraq and Iran.
Undoubtedly, the leaders of Global Arrogance witnessed the magnificent scenes of this massive gathering in Iraq with trepidation, seeing how the vast resources they’ve invested to undermine relations between the two nations have proved entirely futile and ineffective.
This turnout of tens of millions in both Iran and Iraq for the funeral and farewell ceremony of the martyred, mujahid Imam has opened a new chapter of awakening and active engagement to alter the equations that had been designed by the Arrogant Powers.
The Great Satan – the criminal US – has now realized that the continuation of its trouble-free, domineering presence in the region is nothing but a naive fantasy.
The criminal, disgraceful murderers of the martyred Leader, whose names are fully documented from the highest to the lowest ranks, will carry their dream of a peaceful death in bed to the grave.
We pledge to avenge your pure blood and the blood of all the martyrs of these two [recent] wars by taking revenge against the criminal, disgraceful murderers. This vengeance is what our nation is demanding, and this must definitely be done.
I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the incredible, enemy-shattering, and historic turnout of tens of millions of people across #Iran and #Iraq, particularly in #Tehran, #Qom, #Najaf, #Karbala, and #Mashhad.
