Delivering Friday prayer sermons at the Imam Hussein (AS) Mosque in the Burj al-Barajneh district, Sheikh Ahmad Qabalan said that the war on Iran has exposed a historic defeat for the United States.
He noted that the agenda Washington had pursued for the Middle East over the past several decades is now on the verge of collapse or gradual disintegration.
The cleric said that Iran—alongside Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia—has emerged as a central pillar of developments in the Middle East. He added that what Tehran has presented at this juncture represents a rare opportunity, the likes of which might not recur for another century.
Observing that Washington and Tel Aviv are currently navigating one of the most difficult periods in their history, Sheikh Qabalan added that the world is undergoing a transformation in the wake of Iran’s strategic victory. He suggested that a meeting between representatives from Saudi Arabia, Pakistan, and Turkey in Tehran could offer a glimpse into this new regional order.
The Jafari Mufti identified the agreement among Iran, Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia as the foundational core for a new regional order, stressing that this structure must take shape free from the hegemony or influence of the United States and the Zionist regime.

He further stated that the enduring equation consists of a powerful Iran and a robust Axis of Resistance, noting that the realization of this new regional order, originating from Tehran, will have a profound impact on Sana’a, Beirut, and other regional capitals.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Sheikh Qablan pointed to the significance of the Strait of Hormuz and the Bab el-Mandeb in regional developments, identifying Iran’s resistance and steadfastness as a decisive factor in shifting the equations in West Asia. He stated that, should this trend continue, the world will witness the decline of the hegemony of the United States and its allies.
