Hajj message: Leader invites Muslim nations to shape new regional order, says US era is over

Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Mojtaba Khamenei urges Muslim countries to deepen cooperation and shape a new regional and global order beyond American dominance.

"The [global] Muslim Ummah (Nation) and the nations of the region possess many shared capacities and common interests that will shape the new order and the future architecture of the region and the world," Ayatollah Khamenei wrote in a message on Tuesday.

The message, issued on the occasion of the Day of Arafah, the second day of the Hajj pilgrimage, said Muslim nations were entering a historical phase in which regional realities were changing irreversibly and American military influence was steadily diminishing.

"The hands of time will not turn back, and the nations and lands of the region will no longer serve as shields for US bases," the Leader stated.

He added that the United States "will no longer have a safe haven for its mischief and for establishing military bases in the region" and was "growing more distant from its former status day by day."

"The future belongs to the Muslim Ummah and the new Islamic civilization."

Resistance Front's triumphs and Israel's nearing demise

The message highlighted the role played by the regional Resistance Front, describing it as a unified movement extending "from Iran to Lebanon and Palestine and Iraq and Syria, from Africa and Yemen to Afghanistan and Pakistan."

It noted how these forces have confronted American influence, challenged Israeli occupation, and fought the Daesh Takfiri terrorist group.

Ayatollah Khamenei, meanwhile, identified the Israeli regime as a "cancerous tumor" and an "unstable regime" nearing "the final stages of its cursed life."

It additionally reiterated a prediction by the martyred Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, who once predicted that the regime would not survive to see another 25 years.

'Iran rendered Israel helpless, served a hard slap to US during war'

Elsewhere in the massage, the Leader celebrated Iran's decisive blows to the United States and the Israeli regime during the duo's latest bout of unprovoked aggression against the Islamic Republic.

"The Islamic Republic succeeded in rendering the Zionist regime helpless under its heavy blows, delivering a hard slap to the aggressive America, and thwarting the enemy’s goal of forcing Iran into surrender," the message read.

Ayatollah Khamenei praised the Iranian Armed Forces and allied resistance groups, particularly in Lebanon, for achieving "remarkable victories" in the face of the aggression that was being waged by "the fully armed American-Zionist terrorist armies."

It specifically referred to the deployment of missiles and drones "on land, in the air, and at sea" against "the Great Satan, meaning America, and its trained animal, the Zionist regime."

Iranian nation 'astonished the world'

The message pointed to the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei during the early stages of the aggression, noting that following the "heartbreaking martyrdom" of the "great leader," the Iranian public entered a new phase of mobilization.

The nation, it added, "astonished the world" through its mass participation on the streets in support of the country's Armed Forces and defense of the homeland as well as via its display of resilience following the martyrdom.

Hajj 'a path of spiritual and political transformation'

The message described Hajj as a continuous path of devotion, rejection of false powers, self-purification, and defense of truth and justice.

According to the Leader, the Iranian nation embarked on such a path during the 1979 Islamic Revolution by rejecting "subservience" and rallying around "pure Muhammadan Islam."

The message highlighted the religious zeal that invigorated the Iranian nation in its efforts to overthrow the former tyrannical US-backed regime. The same zeal also reinforced the country in its defensive efforts in the face of the Western-backed imposed war of the 1980s and decades of foreign pressure and sanctions, Ayatollah Khamenei added.

'Muslim world's common slogan: Death to American, Death to Israel'

Addressing Iranian pilgrims directly, the message said they bear "an effective and prominent role" in conveying the saga of "victory in the face of the third imposed war" to Muslims from other countries during the Hajj pilgrimage.

It also called for prayers for Muslim unity, liberation of Palestine, and victory over global arrogance.

The message also emphasized the concept of "bara’ah," or disavowal of enemies and oppressors, saying the principle extends beyond Hajj rituals into the political and social life of Muslims worldwide.

"Death to America and Death to Israel will be the common slogan of the Islamic Ummah and the oppressed of the world, especially the youth."
