live now to tan with the Iran supreme leader aah Al is leading Friday prayers he's delivering a rare public sermon and speech Let's listen it is part and parcel of the solidarity among the Believers among all those who believe it resonated throughout many parts of our Holy Scripture however this particular verse speaks about of the ultimate consequence of our solidarity as one Muslim Nation it is the mercy God will grant us Mercy which means if we are standing together side by side joining hands joining forces we will be granted Mercy from God the verse ends
with that God is all knowing all the wise this is the end of the verse God is knowing and is wise this particular verse of the Holy scripture speaks of the consequence of our solidarity the consequence is Mercy we will be granted mercy and that is the wisdom the blessings all the incidents of throughout our human life are nothing but mercy and such Mercy is linked to God's grace and wisdom you're watching Al jaer it is 0833 GMT we're bringing you live pictures from tan Iran supreme leader a Alini is leading Friday prayers it's a
rare occasion for him to do so particularly to uh speak as we are expecting him to after uh the public sermon this is of course following a massive missile attack which isan has carried out recently on Israel but of course also following the killing of Hassan nasala the leader of the Lebanese armed movement just a few days ago we are expecting Ayah Al to make reference to the killing and the events in Lebanon and elsewhere across the region in the speech that we are waiting for which should come in the next few minutes I want
to go to Russell Sela who is live for us in tan this is a moment of extreme tension of course between Iran and also uh Israel and this is a moment of which a lot of people are going to be paying a great deal of attention to what Iran's supreme leader is going to be saying indeed Rob so that is happening in quite a delicate and very much intense time and for the supreme leader of Iran a leading Juma prayer or the Friday prayer is extremely rare so the last time that that happened was four
years ago when the commander of the Iranian CS forces which is an Elite Force in the Iranian revolutionary guards has been assassinated in Baghdad by the uh by the USA that was the last time and now more than four years later he's once again leading the Friday prayer and that's why it's extremely important so here there is another message when I was talking to Iranians and the experts here today and one of the reason that he has decided to go public and to lead the prayer particularly this time of course is related with the recent
developments however they say that now the Iranian authorities from the top of the state to down they want to send out a message to Israel that they are not hiding they are not seeking shelters they are not going underground because just remember the Israeli uh prime minister Benyamin Netanyahu during his speech in the United Nations General Assembly has said that there's no place in the Middle East that Israel will not be able to reach and now the Iranians are coming up and challenging that and they saying that now we are here you know our location
we all are here and it's not only alian that is present today in mosala mosque it's the president of the country or the leaders the heads of all the branches of the government the top commanders ministers vice presidents almost the whole state dignitary the whole state hierarchy is now there and publicly with in a location that is very well known and the the the supreme leader is leading the prayer and while this is happening just remember our after Iran has launched missiles attacks on Israel on the October 1st just hours after that Iranian president has
made his uh has made an international flight from Iran to Doha to meet uh the the the katari Amir also several forgive me for interrupting you but I do want to take our viewers back to the um Al who is speaking in relation to uh some of the incidents that have been happening over the last few days as he's leading prayers on Friday this is the policies adopted by our enemy to sew the seeds of division to sew the seeds of sedition and to drive a wedge among all the Muslims the enemies of the Muslim
Nation are the same enemies to the Palestinians to the Lebanese to the Egyptians and to the Iraqis they are the enemies to the yemeni people to the Syrian people our enemy is one and the policies adopted by the enemy in these various countries vary on one occasion it is a psychological warfare in another it is an economic Warfare and in a third country it is a military Warfare their operation room is one they receive the same orders and and their orders is to Target and hit the Muslim peoples if their policies of sewing the seeds
of division succeed in one country they may prevail in one country and once they seize control of one country they move to the other therefore we should be vigilant we should be conscious we should be aware when we see the enemies moving to Target one Muslim people we should remain conscious and we should act in support of those people simply to foil the schemes of the enemy once the enemy succeeds in their scheme in one country they move to the other for years the Arabs and Muslim nations have been unaware yet today we must remain
Vigilant we should roll up our sleeves from Afghanistan to Gaza to Lebanon we should move and act we should roll up our sleeves get prepared for action and this is what I wanted to start my sermon with first to our brothers in Lebanon and Palestine who have been reing under all types of Injustice the Islamic laws of the defense the Iranian Constitution as well as the international man-made laws all of which have laid down the rules of Defense even the manmade laws which were not drafted by us all of which have laid down the rules
of selfdefense each and every country each and every people has the ultimate right to defend itself against any outside tyranny [Applause] these words literally mean that the Palestinian people has this ultimate right to defend themselves against the enemy who has occupied their land killed their children and destroyed their homes and farmlands this is a basic principle cherished in all constitutions and the laws the Palestinian people have a lawful right to defend themselves to stand up to those criminals those occupation forces there is not a single court or international organization to object to the Palestinians lawful
established rights to defend themselves against the Israeli occupation forces they cannot blame the Palestinian people on the basis of any rule or law to challenge the Lebanese people or the Palestinian people simply for defending their Homeland this established principle is cherished in every single law the Palestinians are defending their homand and such defense is legitimate and lawful therefore ala flood which was launched by Gaza which took place a year ago was a lawful response it was a lawful Act of resistance a lawful Act of of selfdefense it is the right of the Palestinian [Applause] people
the Lebanese people Rose in support of the Palestinian people and this is all so a lawful response in line with reason law and international legitimacy it is also the actions taken by our Armed Forces a few nights ago was a lawful resp [Applause] resp the operations carried out by our Armed Forces was the least as a response against the Zionist occupation in return for the heinous crimes perpetrated by this bloodthirsty criminal entity any and all the responsibilities of the Islamic Republic of Iran will be fulfilled fully and [Applause] completely and in performance of our responsibility

eternal glory be to God almighty may God's peace and blessings be upon Prophet Muhammad and his grace be upon Ali the followers and the companions of the prophet and we pray to God Almighty to accept in his Mercy the next of King and all the followers till the day of judgment I was of the opinion that the best [Music] way to commemorate the memories of my brother the all Beloved the eloquent tongue of the peoples of the region and the Jewel of the crown of Lebanon his Eminence late Hass Noah I was of the opinion
that the best way to commemorate his memory in this ceremony is to address certain issues this sermon and this address is directed to the entire Muslim Nation yet in particular it is addressed to both the Palestinian and Lebanese people who are inflicted with the demise of the Fallen martyr Hassan what a loss what a loss we are saddened and griefed by his demise yet this does not mean any confusion we are sad yet inspired his demise will instill aspiration and hopes among ourselves his Eminence his late Eminence hassah has Departed in his body yet his
Spirit policies and aspirations will remain amongst us he was the ultimate Beacon for resistance in the face of all the occupation forces he was the great manifestation of all the agreed he was the ultimate defender of those AG grieved he has always been in support of them his popularity has crossed the borders of Lebanon Iran and Beyond his demise will reinforce his policies aspirations and spirit Chief among his messages to you and to the Lebanese people was not to get overwhelmed [Music] by despair as a result of the departure of any figure like what happened
