Gathering regime’s licks at the night conference in Tehran

Speech by Hojjatoleslam Walmuslimin Ali Shirazi

A major highlight of the gathering was the speech delivered by Hojjatoleslam Walmuslimin Ali Shirazi, head of the Faraj Ideological-Political Organization.

Ali Shirazi addressed themes of patriotism, unity, sacrifice, and ideological commitment. According to attendees and local reporting, his speech emphasized the importance of preserving national cohesion during difficult political and social conditions.

Religious speeches at such gatherings often blend theological concepts with political narratives. In this ceremony, references to national strength, social responsibility, and loyalty to the homeland were central themes.

Supporters of the gathering praised the speech as a call for social healing and unity.

Critics, however, argued that political and religious gatherings organized under the framework of the Islamic Republic often serve broader ideological objectives connected to state legitimacy and political influence.

The speech generated considerable discussion online, especially among audiences interested in Iranian domestic politics and the relationship between religion and governance in Iran.
