Imam Khomeini: The Pioneering Muslim Thinker Who Forewarned of the Zionist Regime, Says Qalibaf
In a recent statement, Iran’s Parliament speaker, Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf, highlighted the critical role of Imam Khomeini in addressing the threats posed by the Zionist regime. This statement was made during a significant ceremony held at the holy shrine of Imam Khomeini, commemorating the 46th anniversary of the Islamic Revolution.
During the ceremony, Qalibaf remarked:
“Imam Khomeini (RA) was among the earliest Muslim thinkers to raise alarms about the threats posed by the Zionist regime.”
He further elaborated on the motivations behind Imam Khomeini’s uprising against the Pahlavi regime, emphasizing:
- A principal factor was the Shah’s connections with the Zionists.
- Qalibaf expressed strong belief in Khomeini’s vision of liberation for al-Quds, stating that it would ultimately be achieved by Muslims and the oppressed.
- He described Zionism as the root cause of the corrupt global system and noted its increasing disgrace in the eyes of the international community.
Qalibaf’s remarks reflect a broader sentiment among members of Iran’s Parliament, who visited Imam Khomeini’s shrine to reaffirm their dedication to his principles. This visit also coincides with the Ten-Day Dawn period, observed from February 1 to 11, marking a pivotal moment in Iran’s revolutionary history.
