Weapons of Mass Deception: How Lies Can Fuel War; Ay Sistani’s Warning - Maulana Syed Muhammad Rizvi

Friday Juma KhutbaJune 20th, 2025- Shi‘as are facing a dangerous situation as Israel has attacked Iran, claiming Iran is building a nuclear bomb.- CNN and US intelligence suggest Iran is three years away from having a nuclear bomb, but Trump’s own intelligence director said Iran is not building one and has not resumed the program since suspending it in 2003.- Trump disregarded his intelligence director’s statement and claimed Iran was very close to getting the bomb.- There is no solid evidence that Iran is weaponizing its nuclear program; credible organizations and the IAEA confirm no signs of military use of enriched uranium.- Western governments repeat that “Israel has the right to defend itself,” but Iran did not attack Israel, so Israel’s war is aggression, not self-defence.- Netanyahu has falsely claimed for over 30 years that Iran is close to getting a nuclear bomb, repeatedly misleading Americans, similar to the WMD lie about Iraq.- The Western media heavily favors Israel, exaggerating Israeli casualties while minimizing or ignoring Palestinian deaths and suffering.- A report found Israeli deaths get 33 times more BBC coverage than Palestinian deaths, showing Western media bias that devalues Arab and Iranian lives.- Ayatullāh Sistāni condemned the military aggression against Iran and warned of severe chaos and suffering if the aggression continues, urging governments to stop the war and find a lawful, peaceful resolution.- People are encouraged to recite Du‘ā no. 14 of aṣ-Ṣaḥifah as-Sajjādiyyah for the safety of Shi‘as in the Middle East, especially in Iran.Donate towards our programs today: https://jaffari.org/donate/Jaffari Community Centre (JCC Live)
