PNN – A senior Ansarullah member described the magnificent farewell ceremony for the martyred leader as conveying numerous messages, particularly to the enemy.
According to the report of Pakistan News Network, amidst ongoing reactions from regional figures to the grand farewell ceremony for the martyred leader of the Islamic Ummah, Ali al-Dailami—a member of the political bureau of Yemen’s Ansarullah movement—stated: The massive turnout of millions at the funeral procession for the martyr Imam Sayyid Ali Khamenei carries significant political and popular messages.
All Enemy Plots to Isolate Iran Have Failed
In an interview with Al-Masirah TV, Al-Dailami stated: This magnificent ceremony and the massive public turnout send a clear message—first and foremost to the United States, the Zionist regime, and all their allies—that the Islamic Republic of Iran stands more united and steadfast than ever, and that all plots to isolate the country or drive a wedge between its leadership and the people have failed.
He added: The scenes witnessed at the Imam Khomeini Mosalla and the surrounding squares are a natural reflection of the honor and respect the Iranian people hold for their martyred leader; this crowd has gathered to renew their pledge to the martyred leader of the Islamic Ummah and to commit to following the path he championed throughout his jihadist journey in defense of the oppressed and the ideals of the Islamic Ummah.
Iran’s National Unity Embodied in Adherence to the Principles of the Martyred Imam
This Ansarullah member emphasized: The turnout of millions of people at this ceremony confirms the depth of the bond between the leadership and the Iranian people, and refutes claims made by Western-Zionist circles over the past years regarding a rift between the nation and Iran’s leadership. What we are witnessing in Tehran today reveals the extent of national unity and public support for the principles and strategic choices of the Islamic Revolution.
Ali Al-Dailami stated: Through this participation, the people of Iran are conveying an important message regarding their commitment to religious and national values, their firm resolve to continue on the path of development and sustainability, their defense of the country’s sovereignty and independent decision-making, and their rejection of any attempt to subject the Islamic Republic of Iran to foreign hegemony or to return it to the era of dependence on the United States—that is, the period prior to the victory of the Islamic Revolution.
This Ansarullah official noted that the extensive official political and diplomatic presence—featuring representatives from dozens of countries—demonstrates the failure of US and Western pressures aimed at isolating Iran and preventing international figures and delegations from attending the funeral ceremony of the martyr Imam Khamenei; furthermore, this presence conveys a political message underscoring the Islamic Republic of Iran’s high standing at both regional and international levels.
He continued: The funeral procession for the martyr—Imam Khamenei—was a turning point that embodied the Iranian nation’s unity around its leadership; today, the people are renewing their pledge to their leader—a leader who lived among them, cared deeply for the families of martyrs, students, and all strata of society, and simultaneously championed the causes of the Islamic Ummah, particularly the Palestinian cause.
Iran will vigorously continue the path of the martyred Imam regarding development and steadfastness.
Regarding the era following the martyrdom of Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Ali Al-Dailami stated that the Islamic Republic of Iran is entering a new phase characterized by strengthened power and resilience, the expansion of defense and military capabilities, the continuation of development projects, and the consolidation of political and economic independence; it will stand firm against American-Zionist plots.
This Yemeni figure stated that the recent war waged by the US and the occupying Zionist regime against Iran—alongside prior political and economic pressures—has demonstrated the failure of all attempts to distort the Islamic Revolution or undermine the Iranian people’s trust in their leadership. Iranian institutions have continued to carry out their duties in accordance with the directives of the Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, reflecting the strength of the country’s system and its capacity to manage various situations and crises.
He added that the Islamic Republic of Iran has entered a new phase and adopted a new approach regarding threats—one grounded in deterrence, resolve, and the protection of national interests. In this phase, Iran will not tolerate any future aggression against its sovereignty or the rights of its people and will respond decisively to any attempt to undermine its security or stability. Current developments will also impact the Islamic Republic of Iran’s relations with regional neighbors and the international community; the policy of pressure and sanctions will prove ineffective henceforth, and Western powers—particularly the United States—have been compelled to revise their policies and rhetoric after witnessing the extent of Iran’s resistance and resilience in the face of various challenges.
In conclusion, this member of the Ansarullah movement’s political bureau stated: The magnificent funeral procession for the martyred leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution—marked by widespread public and official participation—sends a historic message reaffirming the continuation of the Islamic Revolution’s path. The martyrdom of Imam Khamenei will only strengthen the cohesion and resolve of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Axis of Resistance to defend their independence, uphold the ideals of the Islamic Ummah—particularly the cause of Palestine—and stand with the oppressed across various arenas.
