Damascus-SANA
Today, the Iranian embassy in Damascus held a memorial ceremony to commemorate the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Lieutenant-General Qassem Soleimani and his companions in the Al-Assad National Library.
The speech of President Bashar al-Assad delivered by Dr. Buthaina Shaaban, Special Adviser to the Presidency of the Republic, during the memorial ceremony.
On the second anniversary of the martyrdom of Lieutenant-General Qassem Soleimani, commander of the Quds Force in the Iranian Revolutionary Guards, and his comrade in the struggle against terrorism and international tyranny, Abu Mahdi Al-Muhandis, we must, after merciful souls of the two martyrs, stop and ask why a country the size of the United States and its striking military force decided to target a person who considers himself A soldier in this struggle against terrorism, and has devoted all military capabilities, manpower and equipment under his command to defeat the forces of terrorism, extremism and bloodshed if it did not pose a threat to the plans and presence of the United States and its Western and local allies, whether in Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Yemen and occupied Palestine? The equation that prompted the US leaders to commit this heinous crime against the martyr Soleimani and his colleague Al-Muhandis is not purely military, but rather goes beyond field borders to intellectual, cultural and moral concepts.
The martyr Soleimani understood the essence of the strategy against the axis of resistance, and worked through every mission he confronted to undermine the foundations of this strategy, wherever it was found, and by all means available to him.As long as this strategy called for division and strife among the ranks and followers of the various religions and sects that constitute the essence of the historical Arab civilization with its diversity, coexistence and acculturation in peace and civilized overlap, Soleimani and his comrade in arms worked to establish the spirit of the unity of the resistance peoples from Iraq to Syria to Lebanon, Palestine and Yemen, and for as long as The Western strategy that has always been hostile to the Arabs for a thousand years has been based on buying traitors and clients and tempting their followers with money and worldly gains. Soleimani worked to instill the spirit of sacrifice and redemption for the homeland among those under his leadership, and set them the ideal of asceticism in this world and only greed for martyrdom. And to meet the supreme companion, and to work constantly, diligently and sincerely, to accumulate good deeds, and to strive in the cause of God, homelands, and man, without seeking reward or thanks from anyone. His presence was in the fields where his outstanding leadership abilities appeared, and not on the media screens.His presence was in the fields where his outstanding leadership abilities appeared, and not on the media screens.His presence was in the fields where his outstanding leadership abilities appeared, and not on the media screens.
As long as the hostile strategy that targets us all focused on its followers from rulers and governments and on subordination and obedience to orders coming from abroad, Commander Soleimani worked to extract his strategy from place and time and according to the requirements of the battle, guided by a live conscience and a soul eager to complete the mission or obtain martyrdom in its way. And because he himself represented everything he called for, and because he did what he said and lived what he was trying to instill in the souls of the resistance fighters who left their lives and their families in defense of honor, homeland and religion, and because he considered himself a soldier in this holy battle, so he treats his comrades with the logic of brotherhood, love, sympathy and understanding that reduce his counterpart..Commander Soleimani and his companion, the martyr Al-Muhandis, in their outstanding leadership talents, constituted an Islamic and Arab military, political, cultural and moral phenomenon. The enemies understood the danger to their criminal projects, not only because of what he is doing now, but because of the ideals he instills in the souls of the resistance peoples, which necessarily generate in the future numbers not Counted like him pose a threat to their criminal plans against our peoples who have suffered for centuries from their wars, colonization, looting of our wealth, killing millions of our people, raping Palestine and subjecting our countries to sieges and sanctions, and the enemies feared the spread of infection that this model might cause in the region and the world.
If we recall the attacks carried out by the United States in its history, which were carried out by its protégé, the occupation entity in our region, we find that the main reason behind these targeting is the fear of the spread of the model that threatens the essence of their political, military, cultural or moral identity, or all of these together. . From the targeting of Martin Luther King to Indira Gandhi and the extermination of her family, to the extermination of Zulfiqar Ali Bhutto and his family, to Ghassan Kanafani, Naji Al-Ali, Abu Jihad, Abu Iyad, Che Guevara, Allende and countless honorable Palestinian, Arab and international militants who worked with great vision and sincerity against imperialist goals, and against Occupation and settlement and against the colonization of peoples and the underestimation of their dignity and capabilities.
In other words, in contrast to globalization that depends on material, money, profit, and plundering wealth as the highest priority and the inevitable necessity of its continuity and forcing it on humanity, a nucleus of moral, cultural and liberating globalization emerged among those leaders who saw in human dignity the supreme goal of human action, and who believed in the words of God Almighty: “And among His signs are the differences of your tongues. And your colors.” And they believed that difference is richness and a source of richness and strength for those who differ in color, race, language, religion, culture and place, but they are united in placing human dignity above all considerations, and working with honor and sincerity for a higher and loftier human life for all the inhabitants of this planet, and that the most honorable of those with God are the most pious. In the context of this moral cultural globalization, people and debts cannot be bought, and the most important equation established by imperialism falls in the minds of some that:“Every person has a price,” and a person becomes rebellious and impossible to bargain, sell and buy because his principles, patriotism, and belief that the nation is above and beyond it is his fortification against all attempts of treason and attraction to the luster of gold or the prices of silver and dollars.
This bright vision and the luminous hearts that these mujahideen carried, and today we commemorate the martyrdom of two creative leaders of the leaders of this movement resisting imperialist crimes, Lieutenant-General Soleimani and Al-Muhandis, poses the gravest dangers to those who target the axis of salvation from the brutal imperialist era. It must have qualified human forces who believe in ideals, ideas and values that contradict the values of looting and imperialist wars that target us all.. Here lies the danger that the United States has taken to mobilize its intelligence and the intelligence of its agents and use the most complex military technology to commit a brutal crime of this magnitude as an expression of its fear of the extension and spread of this model that It threatens their strategy, which is hostile to the Arab peoples and the peoples of the whole world, to the core... The imperial era is full of looting, wars, starvation, bloodshed and manufactured epidemics.
In light of this analysis, we must all be loyal to the details of this approach and work on its continuation, especially in establishing and developing relations between the Islamic Republic of Iran, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen and Palestine, because working to strengthen communication, harmony and integration in this axis constitutes a solid ground that increases the dignity of all its countries and sons. strength and ability to face internal, regional and international challenges and inevitably bring benefit and prosperity to all the peoples of this axis, and constitute a geographic, economic, political and cultural breakthrough for all. Especially since we are still threatened by the enemies’ attempts to control the borders and prevent communication between people belonging to one language, one culture, one history and a common destiny.They train and infiltrate to kill our soldiers and our people; The enemies know the extent of the danger of communication between Syria and Iraq, because this communication is vital for our peoples and makes an effective contribution to lifting the unjust siege imposed on our peoples and the capabilities of our two countries.
Dr. Shaaban said: Martyr Soleimani believed in the inevitability of Syria’s victory, and had all the love and respect for President Bashar al-Assad and for his historical steadfastness in the face of the most severe campaigns and wars that Syria faced in its modern history. against it, but its real victory is represented in its cherished stance to protect its independent decision despite all attempts of oppression, aggression and tyranny, and the tightening of the siege on Syria today is nothing but an attempt aimed at bringing down this steadfast Syrian model; The enemies also fear the spread of infection of this model in the region and the world.However, just as Cuba has withstood for fifty years in the face of an unjust American embargo, and with its steadfastness it formed the ember of liberation and the return to the true democracy of the countries of Latin America, and here we are witnessing today the steadfastness of Venezuela and the return of Bolivia, Chile and soon Brazil to independent national governments, so Syria will be the ember of steadfastness in The Arab world, and sooner or later the Arab countries will return to the rule of their peoples who preserve their independent decisions and preserve their dignity, independence and methods that enhance their historical and national values without trying to placate others and seek their acceptance at the expense of their identity, status and history.
Shaaban added, “Syria, whose martyr Soleimani worked as a mujahid in defense of its land and people and loved its soil, under the leadership of President Bashar al-Assad, will be a beacon of inimitable and solid resistance that does not know compromise and does not fear hurricanes and attempts of intimidation and intimidation, no matter how strong the winds of war, siege and coercive measures are, because it has a people that does not accept humiliation.” and humiliation, and does not fear in God the blame of the blamer. No matter how difficult the path is and the days are dark, things are at their conclusion, and there is no doubt that the end of jihad and patience is freedom and victory over all the oppressors and those who covet our land, our countries, and our goods.
The victory of the will of the Palestinian prisoners over the unjust jailer and their invention of the Freedom Tunnel that they dug with a spoon over a year, and the victory of the will of the prisoners who launched the empty intestines war, the last of whom was the captive Hisham Abu Hawash confirms that the prisoner is stronger than the jailer when he possesses the will and faith, so how about the free fighters who believe in the right and importance of the battle They are waging against domination, colonialism and attempts to humiliate our peoples.
So we are fighting a major war after the military war;
An economic, cultural, and moral war, and we will not allow the blood of the martyrs to be in vain. Rather, we will continue their sacrifices and follow the paths lit by their blood until our battle reaches its end with economic, regional, cultural and moral victory over all forces of evil, aggression, occupation and settlement to build the model that they fear and fear, the model of human dignity. His freedom is honored and promoted in his homeland and the world.
