Supreme Leader’s presence on the night of Ashura covered by the international media.
The presence of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in the mourning ceremony for Husseini on the night of Husseini’s Ashura was widely reflected in the regional and world media and was considered a symbol of Iran’s courage and authority against foreign threats.
Al Jazeera interrupted its normal programming to broadcast images of the presence of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, at the Ashura night ceremony at the Husseiniyeh of Imam Khomeini (RA).
The Al Jazeera anchor, who was talking to an analyst, interrupted her conversation with the expert upon learning of the broadcast of images of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution at the Husseiniyeh of Imam Khomeini (RA) on the night of Husseini’s Ashura and said, Iranian media reported the presence of Ayatollah Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution of this country, at a religious ceremony. This is the first public appearance of the Iranian leader in several weeks.
Al Mayadeen also reported that the Leader of the Islamic Revolution attended the Ashura night ceremony in his first public appearance since the recent US-Israeli war.
Stating that one of the most important goals of the recent war between the US and the Israeli regime was to overthrow the regime and create chaos, the media noted the presence of the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution in this religious ceremony following the brazen threats made by the US and Zionist leaders against the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution.
Al-Mayadeen added that various countries, groups, and parties in the region and the world; religious and political authorities; and public figures considered Netanyahu and Trump’s threats against the Leader of the Revolution as an insult to the entire Islamic nation, given the high position of Ayatollah Khamenei as the supreme religious authority and a comprehensive and inclusive religious symbol who represents millions of believers in the Islamic world.
Russia Today, a Russian media outlet, described this presence as accompanied by an enthusiastic welcome from the Iranian people and reported that a large crowd excitedly welcomed the Leader of the Revolution’s first public appearance after the recent clashes with the Zionist regime. The media outlet described this event as a symbol of the solidarity and resistance of the Iranian nation.
France 24, the Emirates-affiliated Sky News Arabic network, and Al-Sharq Radio also highlighted the Supreme Leader’s presence at an important religious ceremony.
Western and Israeli media outlets, including the Jerusalem Post, Israel Hume, the Times of Israel, the Independent, the BBC, CNN, and Reuters, which have a hostile approach to Iran, were forced to put the event at the top of their news. By covering the Leader’s public appearance, despite threats of assassination, they implicitly acknowledged the failure of rumors and psychological operations against Iran.
These media reactions and statements by foreign figures indicated the profound impact the Leader’s presence had on world public opinion.
