Hassan Rahimpour Azghadi, member of the Supreme Cultural Revolution Council, speaking prior to the Friday sermon in Tehran said "The enemy, including Wahhabists, try to show that the Shiite are fools. They want to stir a civil war.”
"I am honored to have been threatened to death by Wahhabists and I am likely to be assassinated one day by these Shiite people who are slaves to the UK.”
Azghadi warning that "Londonesque Shiites are as dangerous as Wahhabists,” stated "Those who have launched satellite channels today and who are educating clerics are the same people who when Imam Khomeini said we are mourning and wont celebrate the 15th of Shaban day on Khordad 15th, said Khomeini was politically minded and said that they would not let go of Shaban 15th.”
