“14 centuries ago a tyrant believed he had eradicated Imam Hussein's resistance. Saddam, Al-Qaida & ISIS thought they could end it. Yet today 17 million people from across the world, including 2 million Iranians—are amassing in Karbala,” Mohammad Javad Zarif has written on his Twitter account.
The Iranian foreign minister added that the message of Arbaeen pilgrims is "no tyrant will ever end the struggle for justice.”
