Speakers at a February 9, 2024 commemoration of the anniversary of the Iranian Islamic Revolution, held at the Hadi Institute Youth Community Center in Dearborn, Michigan praised Iranian leaders Ruhollah Khomeini and Ali Khamenei. Hassan Salami recited poetry claiming that MEMRI wants to "silence us as a community." He said that the "greatest threat to the American people is Israel" and that the U.S. has been "hijacked by Zionist and elitist thugs." Salami continued to claim that Washington politicians are "infected by greed," and they have "betrayed the American people." He said that "Sleepy Joe" should wake up to the fact that the politicians are no different than Donald Trump.

Imam Usama Abdulghani praised Khomeini, Khamenei, and IRGC Qods Force leader General Qasem Soleimani. He said that if Muslims fear "Genocide Joe," then that is who they will get. He recounted the story of the hostages taken in the U.S. Embassy as told by Khamenei. Abdulghani said that while "weak liberal individuals" suggested the hostages should be released, Khamenei pledged before Khomeini that he is not afraid of the Americans and was directed to keep the Americans hostage. The event was streamed live on the YouTube and Facebook pages of Light of Guidance.

MEMRI Is An "Imbecile Station" Created By The Mossad "They Want To Silence Our Community"

Speaker: "So we thank Allah for blessing us with the faith that is characterized by the love, commitment, and devotion to Ruhollah Khomeini."

[...]

Hassan Salami: "The Mossad, the Israeli intelligence or should I say stupidity creates imbecile stations like MEMRI, and they want to silence us as a community.

[...]

"The Greatest Threat To The American People Is Israel"

"And since you are listening, I will let you know who the greatest threat to the American people is. The greatest threat to the American people is Israel. The American people are waking up to the fact that their country has been hijacked by Zionist and elitist thugs, and that the American people have more in common with the ones being killed overseas than [with] the politicians in Washington, infected by greed, who have betrayed the people of this country.

[...]

"So tyrants of today, take notice. Open your ears Sleepy Joe, wake, the jig is up. We know none of you are any different than Donald Trump.

[...]

"They are seeing the truth clearly showing between your lies, and that is why you hate this Revolution. That is why you try to make the entire world hate Imam Khomeini, the one who sought to put the rule of the modern-day Pharaohs to an end."

IRGC General Qasem Soleimani Taught Us That "In Times Of Crisis, There Is Incredible Opportunity"

Usama Abdulghani: "Everything changed when the Revolution happened.

[...]

"We are very grateful that Allah has honored us with this, and of course, we offer our congratulations first and foremost, to our Master, the [Hidden] Imam of the Time, the last hope of humanity, and after that, to his representative, the guardian of our time, Imam Khamenei.

[...]

"God won't make anyone rule over us, except for the person we are afraid of. If we are afraid of Genocide Joe, we get Genocide Joe. We are afraid of Netanyahu, we get Netanyahu.

[...]

"It is a principle that you and I learned from the martyr Qasem Soleimani. What did he teach us? He taught us that in times of crisis, there is incredible opportunity.

"A story from Imam Khomeini. May Allah bless Imam Khomeini. Right now, you see resistance in Iraq, you see resistance in Yemen. Our Yemeni brothers... I can't get enough of hearing their statements. You see how in Gaza, the Palestinians are going to break Netanyahu. This going to be something you witness in your own lives. You see Lebanon, right? Where did this start? Imam Khomeini.

[...]

"So Iran just had the Revolution, believers are just standing on their feet, a few months in, what happened? Some of the brave university students rushed in to the U.S. embassy. Weak minded liberal individuals, those people and they are always like this they start saying: 'Let those guys go... this not okay... the international law... let them go...' CIA contractors doing dirt in your country, [and they say:] 'Let them go'. Imam Khamenei says: 'At that time I went with...' He mentions two of the brothers, I'm not going to mention their names. He says: 'We went to Imam Khomeini'.

[...]

"[They said to him:] 'We have a hostage situation, and our duty isn't clear. We are not sure what we should do. Should we keep the hostages or should we let them go?' The Leader says: 'Imam Khomeini thought for a second. He looked up and he looked right at those brothers and he asked one question: 'Are you afraid of America'?' The Leader said: 'I didn't let those guys answer, I jumped right in. I said: 'No, we are not afraid.' Imam Khomeini said: 'Then keep the hostages'.'

[...]

"Right now, the IDF...

[...]

"They are not brave guys, they wear adult diapers. Seriously, what army is this? They are getting it handed to them. The are the worst people on earth."

Processions started out from several points, converging at Azadi Square in the capital. State TV showed crowds in many cities and towns, claiming that millions participated in the rallies across the country.

The military displayed a range of its missiles, including the Qassem Soleimani and Sejjil ballistic missiles, the Simorgh satellite carrier and drones at the square where people took selfies with them.

During the celebrations, a paratrooper jumped from a plane while displaying a Palestinian flag.

Many high-ranking Iranian officials attended the celebrations in Tehran, including hard-line President Ebrahim Raisi.

He addressed the crowds in Azadi Square and called on the United Nations in a speech broadcast by state TV to expel the Zionist regime, as the crowds chanted: Death to Israel. Raisi also said, the bombing of Gaza has to be stopped as soon as possible.

The commander of the powerful Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps General Mohammad Salami and Gen. Esmail Ghaani, the head of the expeditionary force of Irans paramilitary Revolutionary Guard, also took part in the celebrations, while the head of the Judiciary body, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejehi, was at the rally in the central city of Isfahan.

There was a heavy security presence in the major cities across the country.

The anniversary came a month after a deadly attack by the extremist Islamic State group in the central city of Kerman that left at least 95 people dead during the commemoration for prominent Iranian general Qassem Soleimani whom the U.S. killed in a 2020 drone strike.

Iran has tried to blame the U.S. and Israel for the attack as the Israeli offensive in the Gaza Strip continued. The Islamic Republic launched missile attacks on Iraq and Syria. It then struck alleged anti-Iran Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl targets in nuclear-armed Pakistan, which responded with its own strikes on Iran, further raising tensions in a region inflamed by the Israel-Hamas war.

Earlier in January a drone attack killed three U.S. troops in Jordan which an umbrella group for Iran-backed factions known as the Islamic Resistance in Iraq claimed. The U.S. said it held Tehran responsible. Iran threatened to decisively respond to any U.S. attack on the Islamic Republic.

The Islamic Revolution began with widespread unrest in Iran over the rule of Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The shah, terminally and secretly ill with cancer, fled the country in January 1979. Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini then returned from exile and the government fell on Feb. 11, 1979, after days of mass demonstrations and confrontations between protesters and security forces.

Iran marks 45th anniversary of Islamic Revolution amid regional tensions - POLITICO

United States Central Command (CENTCOM) on Thursday reported the interception of a weapons shipment originating from Iran and bound for Houthi-controlled areas in Yemen.

The shipment was described as "advanced conventional weapons and other lethal aid," consisting of ballistic missile components, drones, explosives and other military equipment.

U.S. Coast Guard Sentinel-class fast-response cutter USCGC Clarence Sutphin Jr, assigned to CENTCOM Naval Forces, "located the vessel and boarded it in the Arabian Sea," according to the statement.

On board were "over 200 packages that contained medium-range ballistic missile components, explosives, unmanned underwater/surface vehicle (UUV/USV) components, military-grade communication and network equipment, anti-tank guided missile launcher assemblies, and other military components."

CENTCOM pointed out in its statement that such shipments, whether directly or indirectly, violated United Nations Security Council Resolution 2216, which was extended and renewed in resolutions 2675 and 2707.

This is yet another example of Irans malign activity in the region, CENTCOM commander, General Michael Erik Kurilla, said in the statement.

Their continued supply of advanced conventional weapons to the Houthis is in direct violation of international law and continues to undermine the safety of international shipping and the free flow of commerce," Kurilla stated.

"CENTCOM is committed to working with our allies and partners to counter the flow of Iranian lethal aid in the region by all lawful means including U.S. and U.N. sanctions and through interdictions," the statement concluded.

TEHRAN Iran's Aerospace Force Commander Brig. Gen. Amir Ali Hajizadeh said on Thursday that Tehran-made stealth drones are capable of targeting any moving vessel within any range, as tensions at sea continue to heighten due to the ongoing war between Israel and Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip.

The naval forces of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are also "advanced enough" to successfully conduct reconnaissance operations at any point, according to Hajizadeh, whose comments were reported by the state broadcaster's IRIB news agency as he addressed officials at an IRGC exhibition in Tehran.

Hajizadeh claimed that the Islamic Republic currently stands among the world's leading powers when it comes to defenses, including missile and drone technologies. "We have now reached a point where the terrorist military of the United States openly admits that it is not seeking a conflict with the Islamic Republic because it is unable to resist the Iranian defense prowess," he said.

The statement was made as tensions continue to rise in the Red Sea, with Tehran-backed Houthi militants from Yemen targeting international vessels. The group says the attacks will continue as long as Israel is bombarding the Gaza Strip. The Houthis have suffered several rounds of strikes by the United States and the United Kingdom meant to destroy their combat capability.

U.S. Central Command released this undated photo as part of its announcement of renewed airstrikes against Houthi targets on Saturday.

The U.S. struck Iranian-linked targets in the Middle East for a second consecutive day Saturday.

The U.S. and allies hit 36 Houthi targets at 13 locations in Yemen, the Pentagon said Saturday. On Friday, the U.S. struck facilities in Iraq and Syria, as part of a broader campaign that U.S officials say is in retaliation for a drone attack that killed three American soldiers. The U.S. says it struck Iran-backed proxies in each country.

The Pentagon said the U.K., Australia, Bahrain, Canada, Denmark, the Netherlands and New Zealand were involved in Saturday's strikes against Houthi targets, saying they were in response to Houthi attacks targeting international shipping vessels.

U.S. Central Command said strikes targeted "multiple underground storage facilities, command and control, missile systems, UAV storage and operations sites, radars, and helicopters" used by the Houthis.

The current round of U.S. strikes is more extensive and deadly than those from the previous few months.

U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin said the Houthis will "continue to bear further consequences if they do not end their illegal attacks on international shipping and naval vessels."

The attacks come in response to a drone attack on a U.S. support base in Jordan on Jan. 28 that killed three Army Reserve soldiers. An Iranian-backed militia group claimed responsibility for the attack. It was the highest death toll of U.S. troops in the Middle East in at least a decade.

Iran's foreign ministry called the attacks a "strategic mistake" and said they "will have no other result other than intensifying tensions and instability in the region."

Iranian-backed militias have mounted more than 165 drone, missile and rocket attacks on U.S. troops in Iraq and Syria since the Israel-Hamas war began in October.

U.S. National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan would not rule out strikes within Iran when asked about that possibility Sunday on NBC's Meet the Press.

"Well, sitting here today on a national news program, I'm not going to get into what we've ruled in and ruled out from the point of view of military action," Sullivan said. "What I will say is that the president is determined to respond forcefully to attacks on our people. The president also is not looking for a wider war in the Middle East."

Sullivan did say that strikes against the militias will continue.

"It began with strikes on Friday night but that is not the end of it," he told NBC. "We intend to take additional strikes and additional action to continue to send a clear message that that the United States will respond when our forces are attacked, or people are killed."

The latest strikes came on the same day that U.S. military officials say U.S. forces destroyed six Houthi anti-ship cruise missiles in Yemen in "self-defense," saying that the missiles were to be used against ships in the Red Sea.

U.S. and British forces have carried out multiple attacks against Houthi military facilities, as the Iranian-backed group has continued to target commercial shipping in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden.
