Weekly Position: The People of Bahrain Renew Their Loyalty to the Resistance on the Anniversary of the “Heroic Prince of the Arabs” — and the Al Khalifa Await a Heavy Reckoning
The Political Council of the February 14 Youth Coalition issued its weekly position statement. The following is the full text:
In the name of Allah, the Most Compassionate, the Most Merciful
The Political Council of the February 14 Youth Coalition renews its pledge on the occasion of the second anniversary of the ascension of the Most Esteemed Martyr, the “Heroic Prince of the Arabs,” as His Eminence Imam Mojtaba Khamenei (may he be divinely protected) described him. Despite the profound grief that burns in the hearts of free people around the world over the departure of a liberation leader rarely matched in stature, his presence was not merely a worldly presence limited by time. Rather, in the eyes of the honorable and the resistance fighters, he represents a unique school of resisting hegemony, defending the oppressed, and demonstrating sincerity and sacrifice in pursuit of higher values. This makes him a school transcending time and place and an extension of the path of the prophets and their successors throughout history.
In this context, we set out the following points in our weekly position:
1. There is a deep bond and connection between the people of Bahrain and the Most Esteemed Martyr. This stems from a solid common foundation underlying this relationship: adherence to the fundamental principles of the nation, refusal to be dependent on foreign powers, and liberation from the culture of servitude and submission to arrogance. Thanks to this foundation, our people have not succumbed to the wars of perception aimed at demonizing the resistance and distorting its image, history, and leaders—particularly after the 2006 Lebanon War. These efforts were jointly pursued by the Zionists and treacherous rulers after the Most Esteemed Martyr had become deeply cherished in the hearts of Arabs and Muslims, and his pictures were raised from the Gulf to Europe. From that time onward, shadowy rooms began planning operations to falsify the discourse, penetrate consciousness, and carry out the greatest assault on the values and principles of the nation.
2. The wars over values and identity have constituted a dangerous stage in the confrontation between truth and falsehood. Their objectives gradually became clear as they expanded to include demonizing Iran and the various fronts of resistance. It became apparent that their aim was to fabricate an imaginary enemy for the nation, while whitewashing the Zionist-American enemy and normalizing relations with it at every level. Paid media and the fatwas of rulers were employed to lure peoples into this great deception and cloak it in sectarian incitement and religious slogans. This has led to the dire circumstances we see today, in which normalization regimes manipulate priorities, disrupt the balance of values and ethics, and overturn established principles and convictions.
3. One of the reasons for the steadfastness of the people of Bahrain in confronting the war of perception targeting the resistance front today is that, generation after generation, they have become experienced in this form of wars over identity and values. For more than two and a half centuries, our people have suffered from the oppression of Al Khalifa and their falsification of the country’s original history. Yet our people developed effective means of resistance, remaining attached to their existence and identity and rejecting any falsification of values, consciousness, and history, despite the intensification of this confrontation as a result of the Al Khalifa alliance with the Americans and Zionists.
As a result of the value-based interconnectedness between our people and the peoples and leaders of the resistance front as a whole, the people of Bahrain have demonstrated greater steadfastness in confronting the normalizing Al Khalifa, particularly with the resistance front, led by Iran, standing firm and confronting the Americans, Zionists, and their agents. We call upon everyone to reflect on this genuine achievement and its strategic impact on the future of the confrontation across all fronts.
4. We declare our full support for what Leader Khamenei (may he be divinely protected) stated in his address marking the anniversary of the Sacred Defense and the passing of the Master of the Nation’s Martyrs, in which His Eminence affirmed the subservience of the Gulf regimes to the American and Zionist enemies, as well as the success of the Muslim Iranian people in thwarting psychological warfare and the enemy’s penetration of their social environment. This success, God willing, will pave the way for driving the forces of aggression out of the region and restoring to the peoples their sovereignty over their values, will, and land.
We also reaffirm our commitment to the Leader’s call to adhere to the school of the Most Esteemed Martyr and his great legacy, and to continue along the path he established, preserved in the hands of the trustworthy guardian, “His Eminence Sheikh Naim Qassem,” and his fellow fighters. This was reflected by our people in Bahrain, who commemorated the second anniversary and renewed their loyalty to the victorious banner of the Most Esteemed Martyr.
5. We renew our warning to Al Khalifa against the consequences of their blind alignment with the Americans and Zionists and their reckless insistence on hostility toward the Islamic Republic and the peoples of the resistance front, including the people of Bahrain, who are subjected to systematic retaliation through a war against identity and what is described as ethnic cleansing, because of their support for the resistance and its values and their rejection of aggression against the Republic.
In this context come the threats issued by the Minister of Interior and his repeated attacks on the beliefs of citizens and their esteemed scholars, who are being held hostage, as well as his accusations of treason against them because of their belief in the doctrine of Wilayat al-Faqih and their rejection of the authority of oppressors and occupiers.
The terrorist Minister of Interior, and behind him the tyrant Hamad and his henchmen, will pay heavy prices for all these crimes and those that preceded them. Their reckoning will become more severe with every further violation of beliefs, religious rites, and sacred values:
“On the Day when some faces will be brightened and some faces will be darkened.”
