We we can take you straight to tehran. Breaking news, the Ayatollah Khamenei is leading Friday Prayers at the Grand Mosque in the centre of tehran. This is the first time in nearly five years that he has led Friday Prayers, its an extremely rare event. We had from our correspondent that he plans to address palestinians and the lebanese people as well. We understand that commemorations will begin for the death of hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah who was killed in israeli Air Strikes last week. Translation in israeli Air Strikes last week. Translation y a, week. Translation sympathy for each other, gods week. Translation sympathy for each other, Gods Blessing week. Translation sympathy for each other, Gods Blessing will each other, Gods Blessing will come your way. And then it says, the verse, the holy verse goes on but the wisdom of god, and finishes there. Maybe thats because the blessings of god in this respect is in line with the wisdom of god. Because the blessings of god has different, and all the blessings we see from god, it includes all the things that the servants like us receive. All the blessings and everything that happens in life is a blessing from god. But in this holy verse, this blessing, coexists with wisdom. Gods Honour And Glory is what the world is seeing, but the wisdom of god is the important and what is keeping the whole world together. May in this verse, god tried to underline the fact that if muslims stay united, Gods Glory and Gods Wisdom will support them. They can use the infinite power of god. They can make use of holy laws that are in the world. What does reliant mean . This means the sympathy and the unity among the muslims. This is the koran� s policy for muslims. The policy of the koran for muslims is that the islamic nations and islamic groups must coexist and stay united. And in a way its telling us that if we nourish, its telling the muslim people that if muslim nations nourish this unity, Gods Wisdom and glory will support you. That means you would overcome every obstacle, you would overcome every enemy. Gods wisdom is supporting you. That means that all the Laws Of The Universe would be used towards your end. This is the policy of koran. This is the policy of koran. This is the logic of koran. And the contrary is the policies of the contrary is the policies of the enemies of islam. Tyrants, and the aggressors. What they want to do is create division and rule. The basis of the work is to create divisions. The policy of creating divisions in the muslim world, and in islamic countries. They are following this policy in every way possible. And they have been doing this until today and they will not stop. And what they will not stop. And what they are doing is they want the hearts and minds of the islamic countries to be dark towards each other. The nations are today awakened, im telling you. Today is the day that the islamic nation can overcome this trick by the enemy of the muslims. I am telling you, the enemy of the iranian nation is the enemy of the palestinian nation, is the enemy of the lebanese nation, is the enemy of the iraqi nation, is the enemy of the egyptian nation, is the enemy of the syrian people, is the enemy of those in yemen. The enemy has different strategies in different strategies in different countries. Somewhere they would use psychological warfare, somewhere they will use economic warfare, and somewhere they will use two tonne bombs. And in other countries they would use weapons. And somewhere else they will smile at you. But they will smile at you. But they are following up this policy, our enemies are following up this policy. But the Control Room is in one place. They are all getting their orders from one place. The order of attacks on islamic nations is coming from one place. If this policy succeeds in one country, i mean, if they become, if they overcome one country, they will go to the next country. The nations of the world should not allow this. Every nation, if they dont want to fall for this trap, this paralysing trick, they should open their eyes, they should open their eyes, they should open their eyes, they should be awakened when they should be awakened when they see that the enemy is attacking another nation, they should know the departments of those people. They should cooperate with them, so that the enemy does not succeed in that country. If the enemy succeeds in that country, they will go to the next place. Muslims like us, we have not seen and we have not opened our eyes to this reality. We have seen the result. It should open our eyes today, we should be awakened. We should fasten the Seat Belt of resistance, from iran to afghanistan, from gaza to lebanon, in every islamic country, we should fasten the Seat Belt of resistance. First thing, this is the first point i wanted to mention, today, most part of my speech is with the lebanese and the palestinian brothers. I will talk about them in my next part of the speech. The second subject i wanted to talk about is the islamic resistance law, it has told us what we should do. The islamic law and our constitution, and the International Law, the International Law, the International Law, the International Law, when writing them we had no influence, but evenin them we had no influence, but even in those laws, and let me say that this is really certain, that every nation has the right to defend its soil, its sovereignty, its territorial integrity against an aggressor. Chanting what does this mean . What does this mean . It means that the palestinian people have the right to defend themselves against the enemy that has occupied its soil. It has occupied its soil. It has occupied its soil. It has occupied its house. It has destroyed its villages. It has the right to stand against them. The palestinian people have this right. This is a very strong logic that International Law also approves. Who are the palestinian people . Where did these aggressors come from . Where did these occupants come from . The palestinian people have the right to stand against them. No international organisation and no court in the world has the right to reject the palestinian people and tell them why they are resisting the occupying zionist regime. Those who help the palestinian people see this as a duty. No one, based on no International Law, has the right to tell the lebanese people, or lebanons hezbollah, to tell them why you support the resistance of the palestinian people. It is the duty, they must do this, this is the islamic rule, this is what logic tells them. This is what logic tells them. This is what International Law tells them. The palestinians are defending the integrity. There resistance is legitimate, and helping the resistance is legitimate. Therefore all these attacks, the Al Aqsa Mosque storm last year, almost around this time, it was a logical and a right path for their palestinians to take. And palestinians to take. And palestinians had every right to do it. � , the defence the lebanese have put up in favour of the palestinian people is the same. It is legal, it is logical and it is legitimate. And No One has the right to criticise them and tell them why you have been involved in this resistance. Thejob involved in this resistance. The job of our armed forces over the past few days has been a legitimate and lawful thing to do as well. Chanting studio this is Bbc News. You are watching the iran Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Khamenei, leading Friday PrayersIn Tehran. This is for the first time in nearly five years. Translation time in nearly five years. Translation �. , translation but we will not rush to it as translation but we will not rush to it as well. Translation but we will not rush to it as well. What translation but we will not rush to it as well. What is rush to it as well. What is logical, what is right to do. For the decision makers, those military and political decision makers, we will do it at the right time and the right place, as we have done before, and if needed to do again, we will do again in the future. The second part of my speech, i will talk about lebanon and those who must listen are my arabic brothers in the region, so i will speak arabic from here. Thank you, thank you very much. Speaks arabic. Studio a reminder that you are with Bbc News and we are watching and listening to an address, at Friday Prayers, Being Led by the iranian Supreme Leader. Its an extremely rare event, the last time he did this was five years ago. You will have heard if you have been listening in the last half an hour that he has essentially been appealing to other muslim countries and talking about the need for unity with other muslim countries. Talking about enemies of iran, saying enemies of iran are the enemies of the palestinian, lebanese, iraqis, egyptians, syrian and yemen nations. We will have our Bbc Correspondent shortly to bring some analysis of what the ayatollah has been saying. To bring you some lines, he has been saying that the enemy is one, the Control Room is one place, orders of attacks on islamic nations are coming from one place will stop it will be interesting to speak to our correspondent to analyse what the ayatollahs might mean by that. He also interestingly said in his speech that the first parts of it he would address directly both the lebanese and the palestinian people. He started off first of all by addressing the palestinian people, saying very clearly, repeating the phrase, palestinian people have every right to defend themselves against the enemy, talking about International Law, approving of that and saying similar to the lebanese people, and you will notice there has been a change of language and he is now speaking in arabic and he said he would do this to directly address the lebanese people, which is what he is doing at the moment. We have been hearing from our correspondent Laura Mack about how crucial iran is to the current situation in the Middle East. Because its their proxies, the houthi rebels in yemen, hamas in Gaza And Hezbollah in lebanon, of course, all backed and armed by iran. So clearly the words delivered by irans Supreme Leader will be listened to very carefully, across the Middle East and also in the wider world as the world really looks to see how the situation may escalate further. We are hoping to speak to our Bbc Persia Correspondence shortly, who has been listening across to the address by the ayatollah, which is continuing. It is worth reiterating how rare it is that the Supreme Leader addresses Friday Prayers. The last time it happened was five years ago. That was shortly after the general has seen slimani died in a us Drone Attack near Baghdad Airport in 2020. The last time before that when he addressed Friday Prayers was in 2012. You will be able to see from the wide shots, with the camera pulling around, you will be able to see the Grand Mosque, there are thousands of people there. We were hearing from our correspondent that people were being brought in by coach from across tehran to listen to the ayatollahs. Iran is a country that has had internal issues in the last couple of years, civil Unrest And Protest they are now deliberating on their response. To take you through the main points, the Supreme Leader, the ayatollah, addressing Friday Prayers, which is very rare. He is talking about enemies of islam. He says the enemies of islam, the enemies of iran, they are the enemies of palestine, lebanon, iraq, egypt, syria and yemen. Very much the theme of the address so far has been the islamic brotherhood needs to unite together saying what the enemies of Islam Want is to create division and the policies of countries outside the islamic countries. I think we can probably think about which countries he is referring to, and they are creating division in islamic nations will stop i should say as you are watching this that there is are watching this that there is a live page running on the Bbc News website. It is another day that he is busy with new lines coming out from the Middle East. If you look at the Bbc News website then you will see an analysis by all our correspondence and editors in the Middle East and here in london, giving their analysis of the latest developments across the Middle East, both in lebanon and In Gaza as well. And of course, here, as the pictures you are looking at, the Grand MosqueIn Tehran, where irans Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei continues to address Friday Prayers for stop this is Bbc News. There will be more at the top of the hour. Hello there. Its a dry, chilly, bright start to the day on friday for much of the country. However, we have been seeing some changes taking place overnight with a Weather Front pushing into Northern Ireland and western scotland, thats brought more Cloud And Breeze with outbreaks of rain. But elsewhere, it stays dry all day thanks to this area of High Pressure. This is the Weather Front thats been working its way in off the atlantic, the first of a series of fronts tied in with low pressure there. So, a cloudy start, breezy, outbreaks of rain in Northern Ireland, western and northern scotland. But southern and eastern scotland, england and wales, its a chilly start, bright, and early Mist And Fog. And it stays dry with sunshine into the afternoon, light winds, as you can see, but breezier further north and west. Temperature wise, well, after that chilly start we could be up to 17 or 18 degrees in the south, closer to the mid teens further north. And where we have the breeze, The Cloud and rain, it will actually feel quite quite cool. As we head through friday night, it stays cloudy, breezy across northern and western areas. But large parts of england and wales will see lighter winds, clear skies, so again it will turn quite cool, perhaps a bit of Mist And Fog here and there. Temperatures in low single digits out of town. But recovering temperatures for scotland and Northern Ireland, we are into double digits there throughout the night. Into saturday, the area of High Pressure holds on for at least one more day for central and eastern areas but these Weather Fronts are really ganging up on us Out West, so it looks like england, wales, parts of eastern scotland, should see another fine day with some sunshine around after that cool start. The breeze picking up, the rain Out West turns heavier later on, certainly for Northern Ireland. Again, those temperatures, mid teens in the north, 17 or 18 in the south. But it is all change for part two of the weekend, that area of High Pressure eventually breaks down, low pressure takes over and sends Weather Fronts across the country. There are more isobars in the chart, so its a cloudier day on sunday, more of a breeze coming up from the south, outbreaks of rain. Most of the rain towards southern and western hills, the Odd Heavy Downpour there. Brightness will be limited. Could see a little bit for northeast scotland at times. Temperatures could be up to 18 or 19 degrees in any brightness. The mid teens further north. But nights will start to get milder as we import this mi
