In a strongly worded statement responding to recent hostile remarks by U.S. President Donald Trump, Grand Ayatollah Hossein Nouri Hamedani condemned the verbal aggression against the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, describing it as a direct attack on the heart of Islam and the dignity of the Islamic Ummah.
The full text of the statement, issued through the Hawzah News Agency, is as follows:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
The criminal president of the United States — whose record is marked by war, assassination, and the plundering of nations — has once again revealed his true face by making foolish and brazen remarks targeting the esteemed position of leadership in the Islamic world, specifically His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
This great leader stands today as the banner-bearer of Islamic honor and the voice of the oppressed across the Muslim world. His unwavering stance against global arrogance and Zionist oppression has made him a symbol of resistance and dignity in the modern era.
The hostility of arrogant powers towards this noble figure does not stem from their strength, but from their deep frustration and fear — a fear of the rising tide of Islamic awakening and the global reach of the discourse of resistance.
We firmly declare: Any attack on the leadership and religious authority of the Islamic Ummah is an assault on the foundation of Islam itself, and on the very lives and dignity of Muslims worldwide. Such aggression will be met with a severe and decisive response — not only from the faithful nation of Iran, but from all free and conscientious people around the world.
Let the enemies of Islam know: These threats and provocations will never shake our resolve. On the contrary, they will only further unite the Islamic world and solidify the will of the Iranian people.
The promise of Almighty God is unbreakable.
Hossein Nouri Hamedani
