Imam al-Zaman is the Twelfth Imam, who is, as Alam al-Huda explains here, in “occultation,” and will supposedly return at a time of great persecution of the Muslims.
Note that Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Alam al-Huda, the representative of Iran’s supreme leader in Khorasan Razavi, says all this. The supreme leader himself, Mojtaba Khamenei, has not been seen since he became supreme leader. In any case, what Alam al-Huda is doing here is situating the Islamic Republic’s war against the U.S. and Israel as an Islamic jihad, a religious war, which would obligate the support and participation of all Iranians who consider themselves Muslims or who want to be considered Muslims. The implications of casting this war as an Islamic jihad have never been examined in Washington and are a matter of total indifference there, and yet they are the key to understanding the entire conflict from the point of view of the Islamic Republic. If the “experts” in the State Department wanted to fulfill the old adage “Know your enemy,” they would study Islam and jihad. But they will never do so, because they’ve been convinced that such study would be “Islamophobic.”
“Alam al-Huda: The people’s resistance is the greatest field of jihad against the enemy,” Taghrib News, September 20, 2026:
The representative of the Supreme Leader in Khorasan Razavi said: “The people’s resistance and steadfastness against the enemy is the greatest field of jihad and a factor in the enemy’s despair of disrupting the country from within.”
Ayatollah Seyyed Ahmad Alam al-Huda, on Saturday evening at the 203rd night of the street gathering of the people of the Abd al-Muttalib district of Mashhad, while appreciating the valuable resistance and steadfastness of the brothers and sisters after 203 nights of holding these gatherings, stated: “These gatherings are a strong and powerful popular front against the enemy, and I hope that Almighty God will increase your strength, power of perseverance, and steadfastness so that these gatherings and resistances may remain sustainable until the final stage of the enemy’s destruction.”
Referring to the arrival of the anniversary of the birth of Imam Hasan al-Askari (AS), the father of Imam al-Zaman (AJ), he added: “Tonight is the night of the blessed birth of Imam al-Askari (AS), the father of Imam al-Zaman (AJ), and we have various relationships with tonight’s newborn. One relationship is from the sacred lineage of the Eighth Imam (AS), for tonight the fruit of the heart of Imam Reza (AS), namely Imam al-Askari (AS), was born. And the second relationship is that he is the father of Imam al-Zaman (AJ), who is our Imam, our refuge, our shelter, and our master today in all dimensions of life.”
Ayatollah Alam al-Huda continued: “Tonight, we honor the father of our living, present, and master Imam, who is the introduction to the birth and appearance of the sacred existence of our master Imam al-Zaman (AJ), and I congratulate this blessed Eid to all brothers and sisters.”
Stating that Imam al-Askari (AS), among the Infallible Imams (AS), had the main focus and mission of his Imamate as preparing the Ummah and the Shia for the long occultation of Imam al-Zaman (AJ), he stated: “The goal was that over many centuries and years, people could preserve their religious life and religious society during the occultation of their Imam.”…
He stated: “Today, we see that the field of expansion of the sacred Islamic Revolution is no longer only this country; rather, it has encompassed many countries, and a revolutionary society has been formed.”…

That the Islamic regime of Iran will give a bounty of S25 million for the assassination of President Trump, is alone proof that he is doing that right and just orders to have US air strikes on the weapon based , government centers as well as strategic military command headquarters of that horrific tyrannical Islamic regime.
Walter Sieruk says
When it comes to the subject of the United States with that war against that of dangerous and menacing Islamic tyranny of Iran.. There should have been be no negotiations whatsoever with the representatives of that Islamic regime, because they and the despots who head that horrendous Islamic tyranny are lairs and will have no intention of keeping their promise on anything that they might sign. Such a printed “peace agreement wouldn’t be worth the paper that it’s printed on.
Walter Sieruk says
The United States and the State of Israel should definitely continue using the power of a strong military might against those savage despots of that “mullah regime’ of Iran.
For it all comes down to the basic rule which is “Destroy or be destroyed.” For that belligerent and bellicose regime has as to of its main themes “Death to the USA., “:and “Death to Israel “
Therefore using American Air Force and Israeli air force strikes against that dangerous tyrannical Islam of Iran is an action of basic self-defense.
As the fifth President of the United States, James Monroe, rightly and wisely, in a speech had declared, “The right to self-defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals.”
Westman says
Even experts, some are retired spooks, think the US has too few flight weapons left, particularly Patriot missile batteries to defeat Iran. They either have collective amnesia or are puposefully selling that story.
I remember when my university Physics professor was being actively recruited to work on nuclear radiation hardening of weapons. That went kind of like Fouchi who funded playing around with nasty viruses and went on to improve the nastiness.
The US looked into developing EMP(Electro-Magnetic Pulse) weapons. It turns out that a bomb to physically destroy the electrical and electronic ground infrastructure with heat and pressure is not necessary – a sufficient nuclear EMP will take out electricity distribution grids and most Microelectronics, including cell phones and anything containing a computer.
The US can bring Iran to a halt with EMP-enhanced precise altitude nuclear bombs without directly killing civilians.
Others, like the Houthis are also susceptible.
Raja says
Wish the Trump admin is having a serious look into this dynamics of EMP.
࿗Infidel࿘ says
Iran is already in a state as though an EMP bomb has been let on it. There are major power outages, acute oil shortages and so on. Their currency is more volatile than cryptocurrencies. Nothing like it would be needed
What would work would be a campaign to assassinate leaders at all levels of the IRGC & Basij, as well as all of the islamic regime’s leadership – from Pezeshkian, Ghalibaf, Araghchi to Rezaei, Vahidi, et al. Once everybody there is taken out, the US & Israelis can work w/ Reza Pahlavi in a transition regime taking over Iran
࿗Infidel࿘ says
The “Supreme Leader” is not just Mojtaba Khamenei himself: it is his office, called Beit-e-Rabbari, or office of the Supreme Leader. It’s they who issue all the fatwas about what Iranians – at least those who still support this regime – should do. Ever since Israel blew up their aseemply of Experts of all the top ayatollahs, that office has been dominated by the IRGC: it’s they who insisted that Mojtaba Khamenei be given that role, given that he’s either dead or in a coma. That way, they could have a Mahdi-like figure that the Israelis couldn’t touch, since bombing a dead leader won’t change any of the dynamics about that office
By now, I think the US should signal Israel that it’s okay if they wanna actively support the Iranians by sending drones to hunt down all the armed people of Iran, who are exclusively the IRGC and Basij. Put the Iranian people out of their misery, so that Iran can have a transition government and be on the road to recovery

END THESE FILTHY moslem jihadios
Jonathan Usher says
Killing Trump, or anyone else, is not resistence, it is murder. Even when combined with the idea of Jihad, it is murder. Nov 11th and Oct 6th were planned murders. There is nothing honourable about what happened on those days. (I hope I have the dates correct)
Maria V says
I hope that Trump realizes that he Cannot break bread with the Devil. It states in their Koran that ‘You Can LIE if it benefits Islam. These Rats will Never let America (& the world) be at Peace unless they are in power and the rest of us, under Sharia.
The Trump administration needs to Finish the Job once and for all…
