Among the followers of Hussain are those whose blood, when unjustly spilled in his path and for his school of thought and ideals, moves the Muslim Ummah to action, so that their time becomes joined to Ashura and their place to Karbala.
This is the life-giving outcry that echoes the cry of Imam Hussain’s innocence and his call of "Is there any helper to come to my aid? – an echo that reverberates across Iran, and subsequently in Iraq and other nations, sending tremors through the foundations of falsehood.
Massive funeral processions for Iran's slain Ayatollah Khamenei in the Iraqi cities of Najaf & Karbala today.

The depth of ties between these two Shia-majority countries is extraordinary.
I do not believe any major commenter on the Iran v US / Israel war gave much notion to the growing ties between Iran and Iraq.

Deeper ties to Iran are problematic.
Quran says again and again
“And future will be better for you than the past” (93:4)
“If the hurt comes, so will the happiness” (94:5-6)
“So remember me and I will remember you” (2:152)
The sacrifice of Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) continues to inspire many people to remain steadfast in the pursuit of truth and justice. It is also a reminder of the enduring power of courage and conviction.
