Last night we marked the 3rd and final phase of the alternate Grand Nights of Destiny (Laylat-al-Qadr) with recitation of the Holy Qur’an, supplications, and earnest prayers in the Divine Court and full confidence in the Infinite Mercy of the Lord Most High for continuation of the success He has ensured for the Islamic Republic over the past 42 years in the face of the most intricate plots of the satanic US and its devilish minions, who have always bitten the dust despite their spree of cowardly murders and economic terrorism.

The forces of oppression, tyranny, atheism, polytheism, and all other vices that are opposed to the One and Only Creator and the principle of Divine Justice are a vanishing lot and sooner or later will be a thing of the past, as was the case with the all evil powers.

The US regime claims to be world’s paramount military power equipped with the largest number of nuclear weapons; it boasts of being the number one economy; it brags about its mastery of science and technology that enables it to explore outer space and control cyberspace, it gloats over its media stranglehold, and yet it is a helpless and impotent entity destined to be doomed, especially when it dares to confront those that are Divinely-blessed.

Today happens to be the 42nd anniversary of the miracle in the desert of Tabas in east-central Iran that dashed all American hopes of superiority when the Great Satan tried to launch a surprise attack on the nascent Islamic Republic through a well-planned operation codenamed Eagle Claw.

In the dead of night while the unsuspecting Iranian people were asleep with complete trust in the Protective Power of God Almighty in obedience to Whom they had staged the Islamic Revolution to overthrow the British-installed Pahlavi regime and kick out the American hegemons from their sacred soil, President Jimmy Carter made the self-destructive move to try to reclaim control of Iran through the highly trained Delta Force.  

A total of eight US Navy RH-53D helicopters took off from the aircraft carrier Nimitz, which was positioned in the Arabian Sea, and were joined by six C-130 Hercules aircraft that had been stationed at a military base in Oman to land on a remote airstrip some 350 km from Tehran for the final swoop on the Iranian capital to capture or kill the Iranian leadership with the help of some turncoats, and free the 52 detained American spies.

God Almighty is the Best of planners and He decided to show a glimpse of His signs when He decreed particles of sand to rise as high as 10,000 feet in the air in the form of a dense white cloud, swirling, whirling, and twirling around an airborne US invasion force to reduce machines to wreckage and their crew to charred bodies.

Thus, April 25 is a thanksgiving day for Iran and the Iranian people. Today, when the US is suffering all sorts of defeats throughout the world, we are indeed grateful to the Almighty for preserving the power and prestige of the Islamic Republic.

We thank God for helping us to achieve peace, stability, honour, dignity, independence, self-sufficiency, industrial progress, scientific breakthrough, technological development, and above all, the moral and ethical advancement in Iran.

We also express our gratitude in the Divine Court for having inspired the people in the region and beyond to assert their independence and strive for the welfare of their respective nations as well as the collective dignity of Islam and Muslims, as is evident by the developments of the past four decades. 

Examples galore, such as infusing of the spirit of Intefadha in the Palestinian people, the rise of the legendry anti-terrorist movement – Hezbollah – in Lebanon, the victory of the people of Syria over the most macabrely murderous terrorists, the establishment of independent Iraq, the emergence of the popular Ansarullah Movement in Yemen, the awakening of the long oppressed people of Bahrain, and last but not the least, the resurgence of the Nigerian people led by Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky.

Many more freedom movements are in the embryonic stage and will definitely triumph in the near future, thanks to Divine Assistance in the permanent declawing of the American eagle and consequently the impending doom awaiting all other vultures preying on oppressed people.
