Tehran:Addressing the Friday prayers sermon in Tehran, Ayatollah Mohammad Ali Movahedi Kermani, said Yemeni nation’s praiseworthy resistance against the perpetrators has made the US, Saudi Arabia and their allies’ retreat from their positions against the war-torn country.

Hailing the concept of resistance as a key factor to overcome the aggressors, the senior cleric said deterring the terrorists in Iraq, Lebanon, Syria, Palestine and Yemen, and preventing the US and its allies from attacking Iran are among the results of resistance in regional countries.

Abolition of Kashmir region`s Internal autonomy by Indian Govt a nefarious move;Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani

He noted that the Islamic Republic of Iran’s victories through the past forty years are also the fruits of the country’s resistance against the ambitions of the global arrogance.

While expressing sorrow and concern over the situation of Kashmir, Friday Leader of Tehran Ayatollah Movahedi Kermani termed the abolition of Kashmir region`s autonomy by Indian Govt as a nefarious move and asked New Delhi to stop its “heinous actions” against  Muslims because such behavior will benefit neither India nor the region.

Tensions have been running high in Kashmir since Monday, when New Delhi revoked Article 370, a constitutional provision that had come into effect in 1949 and grants special status to Kashmir, allowing it to have its own flag and constitution, among other rights.
