American human rights: The Guantanamo Prison

The concept of human rights has always been a popular topic for human beings. Such popularity and influence has led to some countries, mostly the US, misusing and exploiting this term in the media and international relations. The following Op-Ed, published by Khamenei.ir, looks at the US’s Guantanamo Prison from a human rights perspective.

Imam Khomeini's great initiative was in inviting the Islamic nation to unity and solidarity. However, Muslim governments did not realize the importance of this issue. On the other hand, the enemies of Islam understood its deep truth and began to plan against Islamic unity. In the following, Imam Khamenei gives an example of the actions of the enemies against the unity of the Muslims.

Which books should we read to gain a better understanding of the US?

In his televised speech on the birthday anniversaries of the Holy Prophet of Islam and Imam Sadiq delivered on November 3, 2020, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution referred to many books which have been written inside the US  and which speak of the US’s decline: “The American regime is truly and severely suffering from a political, civil and moral decline and this is not mere analysis. What I am saying here is not merely an analysis, rather this is being acknowledged by themselves. This is being said by their spokespeople, writers, and thinkers inside the US. It is they who are saying this. They have written several books, published with a large circulation, bringing certain truths to light. I have read one of these books translated into Farsi. The book is filled with proofs of this decline. If someone really reads the book, they see that from start to finish, the book speaks of the political decline of the US with the moves made by the current US President. Such an empire will not last long like this.” Khamenei.ir is publishing a discussion from Mr. Hamid-Reza Gholamzadeh Natanzi – an expert on the US and International Affairs – in the program “The 24th Picture” in order to introduce these books:

The U.S. is declining

Modern Slavery speeding up U.S.'s trip down the trail of decline

In his November 3rd speech, Ayatollah Khamenei once again stressed that the decline and collapse of the US’s established order is inevitable and this is a topic that analysts and authors inside the United States admit to. One of the many indicators of the US decline and collapse is the significant increase of U.S. regime’s racist behavior towards its own people as well as other nations. This is irrespective of which administration takes the Oval Office; rather this is a structural approach taken by both Democratic and Republican governments. This article reviews abusing the people of color and exploiting them as cheap labor force as well as the expansion of modern slavery in the United States.

12 signs related by Imam Khamenei for the US regime’s definite collapse

In several occasions, Imam Khamenei has depicted the weakness and decline of the U.S.'s power in different areas including: political, economic, social, military, security, and ethical at the national, regional and international levels. This is based on some past events, signs, official statistics, opinions of social scientists and the admittance of former American politicians themselves. In his speech made on June 4, 2019, his Eminence used the term “termite decline” (denoting their gradual decline) to refer to the aforementioned situation. According to the Leader of the Islamic Revolution of Iran, the Americans pretend to be in a position of power through the use of a policy of force, threats of war, sanctions, and false propaganda in the media and through Hollywood. However in practice, they have suffered obvious defeat in their use of both “hard power” and “soft power” in recent decades. Their weakness and decline have been more prominent in the areas of “soft power.” Losing credit, the weakening of America's image, a feeling of hatred in the public opinion toward the U.S. (even among Europeans), decline of American values, international isolation, and deterioration of liberal democracy are some of the matters that the Leader of the Islamic Revolution has referred to. The Leader of the Islamic Revolution also stated that even if this weakness is more apparent in the current U.S. government’s administration, its causes are historical and long-term and cannot be easily remedied. Thus, its result is the fall of the U.S. This is a fall, which is in accordance with the ways of God. The U.S. is no longer dependable for anyone, even its own people. The U.S.’s grandeur is not comparable to what it was in the past, especially forty years ago. Khamenei.ir has compiled some of the statements of Imam Khamenei on the decline of the U.S.:

The Karabakh dispute and Imam Khamenei’s rational position

On his November 3rd speech on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (pbuh), Ayatollah Khamenei—the Leader of the Islamic Revolution— mentioned the conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia and stressed that the Azerbaijani land should be freed while the safety of its Armenian citizens must be secured. In this regard, Dr. Mohsen Pakaeen, Iran’s former ambassador to Azerbaijan has addressed the issue in an op-ed piece.

American political parties are clubs for gaining power: The people have no role

Do the American people have a role in the United States presidential elections? Imam Khamenei believes that the people who cast ballots are, in fact, a tool in the hands of the American political parties and their struggle for power. In the following article, Khamenei.ir is publishing some excerpts from Imam Khamenei's statements in this regard.

The French govt's giving refuge to terrorists, a manifestation of the Western savage civilization

What kind of government is the French government? What policy does it have? This policy is the same policy that has offered shelter to the most violent and savage terrorists in the world: the terrorists who martyred a president in our country and his prime minister. They martyred the head of the judiciary branch, many members of parliament and executive and judiciary officials. According to the figures that are available, they also martyred about 17,000 ordinary people on the streets and in the bazaars. They are not ordinary terrorists and they have sought shelter in France and Paris. That is while the French claim to be supporting human rights and freedom! The same government offered the most help to a bloodthirsty wolf, namely Saddam. Of course, we cannot say that it offered more support than other governments, it was one of the main supporters of Saddam in that war. It provided that bloodthirsty wolf with advanced planes and advanced equipment and they were not ashamed of doing it as they have acknowledged it. This is related to their behavior towards terrorists and the like, but you have also witnessed how they treated their people during the Saturday [Yellow Vests] demonstrations held last year. That is while they claim to be interested in freedom, human rights and other such values! I believe that these are the two sides of the same coin: in others words, defending that act of cultural savagery and the criminal action taken by a cartoonist is one side of the coin and the other is defending and helping the munifeqeen and Saddam. These are the two sides of the same coin. Well, such courses of action have been repeatedly adopted in European countries and in the US. The incidents related to insulting the Holy Quran and the Holy Prophet have frequently occurred in western countries – in both the US and European countries – but such incidents cannot damage the honor, magnificence and greatness of the Holy Prophet of Islam in the slightest manner. It is completely clear that the enlightened personality of the Messenger of Mercy cannot be damaged with these actions. By Allah’s favor, this sun shines more brightly on a daily basis. Just as the thugs in Makkah and Taif could not erase the name of the Holy Prophet of Islam, despite all the efforts that they made, these excellencies will not be able to damage the Holy Prophet either. However, one can understand a point from this incident: that these courses of action show the dark nature of the western civilization. It indicates that that civilization and culture and that modern jahiliah [ignorance] is really dark and wild in its nature and in its reality. Of course, they are hiding this savagery. That is because they are equipped with science and technology. They cover their savagery up with science and technology and they hide it this way. They appear in public by uttering civilized words, with a humanistic appearance and by wearing ties and perfume, thus covering up their inner savagery. So, Islam and the Holy Prophet are not harmed this way, but this is a means so that you and I can gain a deeper understanding of that civilization. That civilization is really a wild civilization. It has also created a disastrous situation for its nations. In the present time, even after the passage of several centuries from the beginning of that civilization during the Renaissance, you can witness inequality, poverty, injustice and moral decadence in European countries, in the US and in those countries which follow them. This is the nature of that civilization and culture.
