The publication of the IRGC calls Saudi Arabia the Shimr of our time
The daily news publication of the IRGC, by publishing an article titled ‘Know the Shimr of your time,’ addressed Saudi Arabia’s actions against Yemen and wrote: Although today there is no tyrant and bloodthirsty person like Yazid, there are dozens of corrupt and oppressive people who have made the blood of millions of innocent people permissible.
Since 2015, Saudi Arabia, representing the United States, has launched attacks against the oppressed people of Yemen from the sea, land, and air. According to official statistics, nearly 18,000 people have been martyred directly in this period, including 4,000 children. Although this operation is currently coming to an end with the victory of the oppressed people of Yemen, let’s not forget the Shimr of our time. Since 2011, Saudi Arabia, along with a massive front of terrorists, has made the blood, lives, and property of innocent Syrian people permissible, and over the course of 10 years, nearly 494,000 people have been martyred, more than 30,000 of whom were children and 30,000 were women. The sin of the Syrian people was that they chose resistance over surrender to the Saudi coalition. This publication, affiliated with the political deputy of the IRGC, added that if Shimr were alive now, he would commit the same crimes. However, although the identity has changed, the nature of the criminals remains the same. If people do not recognize the Shimr and Yazid of their time, they cannot assist Imam Mahdi (may he return soon) and will long for responding to the call ‘Is there anyone to help me?’ because now the enemy’s cognitive warfare is such that distinguishing between the false and the true front is much more difficult than before. It is noteworthy that previously, during the intense negotiations of the JCPOA and after the election of Hassan Rouhani’s government, numerous posters titled ‘Know the Shimr of your time’ were published across the country, which were considered a critique of the negotiations.
