What the Iranian Prayer Leader Said

Oops.  Here is what the prayer leader said:

He further viewed the victorious resistance of the Lebanese Hezbollah against the Zionist regime as a clear instance of the fact that the Islamic Ummah (nation) is in a desirable condition to defend itself against the world arrogant powers, and concluded, “That’s why the world people increasingly turn to Islam and distance themselves from the world arrogance and its allies.
