Leader Condemns Desecration of Holy Shrines in Samarra

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei in a message condemned the fierce attack of the occupying forces against the people and the desecration of the holy shrines of Imam Hadi (AS) and Imam Hasan Askari (AS) in Samarra.


Following is the full text of the message:

 

 

In the Name of Allah, the All-Compassionate, the All-Merciful


The ferocious attack of the brutal and arrogant occupiers against the people of Samarra and their desecration of the holy shrines of the two great Imams Hadi (AS) and Askari (AS), which resulted in the death of over fifty men, women, and children and the injury of a larger number, was a source of great sorrow and grief.


Once again, the brutal arrogant occupiers showed that they care neither about the lives of people nor their religious sanctities and that they intend to resort to terror and force. The ignorant and arrogant U.S. politicians were seized with the stupid idea that they could make the faithful and brave people of Iraq capitulate to the flames of their fire. This same misunderstanding and arrogant view will doom this aggressive regime in the near future.
