Compromise with US impossible: Cleric

TEHRAN, May 06 (MNA) – Ayatollah Seddighi led this week’s ritual of Tehran Friday Prayers and touched upon Iran-US relations, the US court seizure of Iran’s funds and a host of other issues.

“Standing against the US, is standing against aggression, assassination, and deceit, and as a result it is a responsibility,” said Ayatollah Kazem Seddighi on Friday addressing the prayers in Tehran Grand Musalla.

The senior cleric rejected that there is any way according to Islam to get along with the US and talking about the Islamic holiday of Eid-e-Mab’ath, described Americans as pioneers of ignorance alike the opponents of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) at the time of his first revelation.

He asserted that Islam has always been in war with the arrogant and the contemporary situation is even more difficult as the enemies of Islam today are equipped with industry, technology, and science.

Referring to the decision of American Supreme Court in confiscating Iranian funds restored in American banks, the cleric attributed it to Americans’ dishonesty in terms of being committed to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) signed between Iran and 5+1 in Vienna on July 14, 2015.

“Believing in God, and in what He has promised in the Quran, I assuredly announce that the US is in disintegration, and the Islamic Revolution is going to win its rights,” Ayatollah Seddighi underlined.

Hijab, Teachers’ status, Tehran International Book Fair and the popularity of book in Iran, and politicization of non-political issues were the other areas of the Grand Ayatollah’s second sermon.
