You Have Taken Over a Good Place, Hold It Fast

By: Hussein Shariatmadari

Earlier this week, in a brief analysis titled "Why This Spy Den Hasn’t Been Closed Yet?” the recent chaos in Iraq was discussed and attention drawn to certain slogans of some elements from amongst the demonstrators, and conclusion reached that such seditious slogans cannot be the wishes and desires of the people of Iraq, including protestors raising their legitimate demands.
The questions were posed: Except for the U.S., Europe, Israel, Saudi Arabia, and the Daesh terrorists, could any government, party, or political current be scared stiff of the solidarity among Iran, Iraq, and Syria?
Or other than the abovementioned accomplices, could anyone else be unhappy of the presence of the proud and faithful sons of Iraq amongst the Hashd ash-Sha’bi (Popular Mobilisation Units) and their sacrifices and heroics in weeding out the savage Daesh terrorists?
Or still, for whom has the spectacular epic of multimillion followers of the Prophet’s Ahl al-Bayt from all over the globe converging on Karbala in a peaceful march for the Arba’een of Imam Husain (AS), become a nightmare?
The conclusion was drawn that even if no witness or document could be found – of course these are aplenty – of the meddling of the U.S., Israel, the Saudis, the Daesh terrorists, and Ba’thists, in the recent unrest in Iraq, a cursory glance alone at the suspicious slogans raised by a few, removes any doubt that this plot is being orchestrated by the ominous Western-Arab-Hebrew Axis, which has infiltrated the peaceful protestors.
Last week’s analysis, while recalling the capture of the U.S. spy den in Iran (1979) which the Father of the Islamic Revolution Imam Khomeini (RA) had hailed as the "Second Revolution”, raised the point that Iraq’s faithful and revolutionary youths who over the past years have enacted scores of exemplary epics through their selfless devotion, should be asked:
Why the U.S. embassy in Baghdad, or more properly the spy den, which is involved in the plots against the oppressed nation of Iraq, hasn’t been sealed?
Why they do not weed out this cancerous tumour from their holy soil?
For us in the Islamic Republic of Iran, the capture of the U.S. spy den in Tehran and erasing of this centre of conspiracy, brought us many achievements, so why should the revolutionary youth of Iraq deprive their holy homeland of such achievements?
It is to be noted that Imam Khomeini (RA) had sent a message through his son, Seyyed Ahmad, to the revolutionary youth who had captured the U.S. den of espionage, "You have taken over a good place, hold it fast.”
He had also said: "You call it an embassy, and we call it a spy den. This matter was settled when a group of our youth took it over and found out that it was not a diplomatic mission but indeed a spy den, which was set up under the guise of an embassy for espionage and plots, not just against Iran, but against the whole region. Those based in it were (professional) spies – not diplomats.”
Today all available evidences and documents prove that the recent sedition in Iraq is being conducted by the so-called embassies in Baghdad of the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
In view of these facts, it could be concluded without the least doubt: The capture of these two centres of corruption and sedition ought to be the first, foremost and necessary step for resolving the current chaos in Iraq. And it is expected of the huge masses of the faithful revolutionary youths of Iraq, one of whose manifestations is the epic-creating Hashd ash-Sha’bi force, should not waste a moment in accomplishing this task.
The oppressed people of Iraq who have come out on the streets for their legitimate demands should not be left at the mercy of the plots of the Western-Arab-Hebrew Axis being carried out by thugs and arsonists of the savage and bloodthirsty Daesh and Ba’thist outfits.
