Press Release
There is No Sovereignty Except in Khilafah
(Translated)

Yesterday, Tuesday, January 16, 2024, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard announced that it had bombed terrorist targets in both Syria and Iraqi Kurdistan with ballistic missiles at midnight on Monday, January 15, 2024. IRNA reported that the Revolutionary Guards “destroyed a spy headquarters” and “a gathering of anti-Iranian terrorist groups” in Erbil, explaining that “the bombing came in response to recent crimes committed by the enemies”. According to Kurdish media, about ten missiles hit more than one location in Erbil, and some of these missiles hit the home of businessman Peshraw Dizayee owner of the Falcon Group company, which works in the fields of security, housing, and oil, and led to his killing and his daughter, in addition to wounding 17 others, including his wife and two of his sons. Iranian media had previously accused Dizayee of "working for the ‘Israeli’ Mossad as a commercial partner of ‘Israel’ by supplying it with oil and employing retired American military personnel on security missions."

During an interview conducted with him, on Tuesday, 16/01/2024 at the Davos conference in Switzerland, the Iraqi Prime Minister Muhammad Shia’ Al-Sudani, according to the American Bloomberg website, described the attack as aggression, and said: “The Iraqi government maintains its right to all diplomatic and legal procedures granted to it by its sovereignty.”

Aside from the analysis and their motives, whether Iran’s claim is true, or that this operation came with an American green light to put pressure on the Jewish entity, whose stubbornness has become exasperating to it, or that there is a lack of consensus within the Revolutionary Guard and a dispute that resulted after the killing of Quds Force Commander Qasem Soleimani, or Tehran’s attempt to cover up its major scandal after the penetration of its security services, access to the heart of its nuclear reactors, and the assassination of its scientists by the Jewish entity, the latest of which was the penetration of its square and the killing and wounding of hundreds on Tuesday, January 3, 2024, during the commemoration of General Qasem Soleimani... ... Aside from all of that, there is one clear fact, which is that Iraq has lost sovereignty over its land, sea, and air. The missiles that were launched penetrated Iraqi airspace from the south to north, and from the east to west!

O Muslims in Iraq and All Other Muslim Countries: This is the condition of the Muslim countries after the fall of the Khilafah (Caliphate) and its fragmentation into mini-states, ruled by agent Ruwaibidahs who only care about the satisfaction of their masters, countries that have lost sovereignty in which their enemies do whatever they want whenever they want!

O Islamic Ummah: Be certain that sovereignty, independence, and preserving the borders cannot be achieved unless all Muslim countries are states included in one state and supervised by one imam to whom the Ummah pledges bayah (allegiance) by consent and choice to rule according to Allah’s Shariah, who protects the borders, and imposes his authority on all borders of this country, its land, its air, and its sea.

We have always called you to this glory, and we will continue to call you until Allah opens your hearts to work to establish the Khilafah (Caliphate) on the Method of the Prophethood, and to enforce Allah’s law, for through it alone justice will be achieved, injustice will be repelled, rights will be preserved, and the roots of the Kafireen (unbelievers) will be cut off.

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُواْ اسْتَجِيبُواْ لِلّهِ وَلِلرَّسُولِ إِذَا دَعَاكُم لِمَا يُحْيِيكُمْ وَاعْلَمُواْ أَنَّ اللهَ يَحُولُ بَيْنَ الْمَرْءِ وَقَلْبِهِ وَأَنَّهُ إِلَيْهِ تُحْشَرُونَ]

“O believers! Respond to Allah and His Messenger when he calls you to that which gives you life. And know that Allah stands between a person and their heart, and that to Him you will all be gathered.” [Al-Anfal 8:24]
