In the latest episode of our political program “Rooydad” we discussed Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei’s latest message for the Hajj pilgrimage.

Head of the Soft War Research Institute of the Defense University, General Alireza Afshar told our host that due to the Corona Virus we have been deprived of the Hajj’s brilliant spiritual atmosphere but the message and the orientation of rejecting the idolaters are kept alive by the Muslims worldwide.

General Alireza Afshar emphasized that today, instead of compromise, the Muslims have chosen the path of resistance. “What was the result of compromise for the Islamic Nation? After a series of incidences, a few tried to get along with the Zionist Regime and even signed a deal in this regard; nonetheless, it had no outcome for the people.”

General Afshar called the Resistance the only fruitful option left for the Muslims. “All the nation has observed these two currents and they can judge them easily.”

He further said that by using the means of soft war disputes and differences were created by the US and the Britons. “They were well aware of the challenges which could be created by the Wahhabis inside the Islamic Ummah; therefore, they promoted the Takfiris and turned them into a serious issue inside the Islamic countries.” He added.

General Afshar also said that the Resistance front has forced them to retreat and also gained an upper hand in the war with the Zionists. Hence, Israel is feeling the tension in the air.

“Some of the Leaders of the Islamic Awakening (Arab spring), assumed that the West will respect their right to exist but their faith in such illusion failed these uprisings.”

General Afshar emphasized that the free-spirited nations have reached the conclusion that the only option left is to confront the tyrants and to resist them. “A new round of Islamic Awakening is foreseeable in these countries.”

“Hajj was a golden opportunity of familiarity with other members of the Ummah; We had also forethought many detailed programs regarding interfaith cooperation between the intellectuals present at this spiritual gathering. It could have helped a lot.”

“Although the hajj is not performed like the glorious days of the past, its message must be spread across the world.”

General Afshar also told our host about his Institute’s activities regarding countering the enemies at the soft war front. He said that the researches of this center are focused on soft threats, soft power, and soft attack and influx.

He said that Hajj is a platform where all the above-mentioned activities especially the soft influx can demonstrate its efficacy in uniting and integrating the Islamic Nations.
