 Major cleric says US, Israel incline towards collapse
Tehran, 2007/04/06, IRNA
Substitute leader of Tehran Friday Prayers Ayatollah Ahmad Jannati said the era of US and Israel is gone and they incline towards collapse.
Speaking to thousands of worshipers at Tehran University Campus, Jannati said, "However, this (US and Israel collapse) takes time and history is moving in this direction although they may not realize."
Ayatollah Jannati said the enemy has launched a psychological war and tries to pretend that Shia is a threat. He urged all Muslim Ulema to stand against this conspiracy.
Talking about his recent trip to Egypt, Ayatollah Jannati said President Ahmadinejad is a very popular figure in that country and an opinion poll in Egypt showed that Ahmadinejad is the second popular leader only after the Lebanese Seyed Hassan Nasrallah.
He added President Ahmadinejad's foreign policy has been very successful and urged everybody in the country to support the government.
On nuclear issue, Ayatollah Jannati said Iranian people are awaiting to hear the good news which the officials have promised.
He expressed hope that one day, Iran would gain access to the full cycle of uranium enrichment.
On Islamic solidarity, he referred to the Supreme Leader's naming the new Iranian year as the year of 'national unity and Islamic solidarity' and underlined the importance of unity among the Muslims as a factor to neutralize the enemies' plots.
Ayatollah Jannati said since the disgraceful defeat of Israel by a group of Muslim youth in Lebanon, the US and Israel have been propounding the idea of Shia Crescent and saying that Shia Muslims are a danger to the Sunnis.
On internal affairs, Ayatollah Jannati referred to the implementation of Article 44 of the Constitution which calls for privatization of the national economy and said success in implementing this law can make the economy thrive.
