Najaf: Najaf Friday Prayer Leader and Imam Sadr al-Din al-Qabanji proclaimed that the aggression against Iran has marked the fall of America and signaled the end for Israel.

According to National Iraqi News Agency, in his political sermon, al-Qabanji expressed that the aggression against Iran highlighted the unity among the Iranian people and showcased the myth of Israel’s invincible power as coming to an end. He asserted that the events have demonstrated America’s decline from its position of pride and Iran’s emergence as a new global power.

Al-Qabanji further remarked, “This battle will conclude with the defeat of Israel, aligning with their historical narrative that suggests their state’s existence is limited to 80 years.” He also expressed hopes that Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu would eventually concede to the Islamic Republic, and that former U.S. President Trump would issue an apology and compensate for the losses endured by Iran. Additionally, he called for the lifting of the siege on the Islamic Republic, emphasizing that Israel should bear the consequences.
