Dearborn Shiite Imam Usama Abdulghani: Iran Is Doing Mankind a Favor, It Will Pulverize Israel and the World Will Cheer - Get Out the Popcorn, Because Iran Is Going to Handle Its Business
On June 13, 2025, Michigan Shiite imam Usama Abdulghani spoke at the Hadi Youth Community Center in Dearborn about the Israeli attack on Iran. He said that 'Iran can finish the job' and that 'Iran was itching for this.' He declared that the military commanders assassinated by Israel are now in a 'good spot' as guests of Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah and IRGC Qods Force commander Qasem Soleimani. Referring to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu as a Neanderthal and his associates as a 'team of monkeys,' Abdulghani said they had decided to 'throw a Hail Mary' by attacking Iran, but Iran is going to 'pulverize them, and the world will be cheering.' He told his congregation that their role is to explain to the world that the war is completely justified and that Iran is doing 'mankind a favor.' He added that they should take out the popcorn and relax because Iran is 'going to handle its business.'
The Hadi Institute has hosted various events in support of the Iranian Revolution, Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, Qasem Soleimani, and regularly refers to Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei as 'our Leader.'

Trump gives Iran two-week ultimatum
Shafaq News/ On Friday, US President Donald Trump announced that Iran has been given a two-week deadline to 'come to its senses,' warning of escalating consequences. Speaking at a media briefing at the White House, Trump described Iran's position as increasingly precarious, citing the impact of the ongoing conflict. 'Iran is in a tough spot and suffering greatly under the current escalation with Israel,' he remarked, warning that the standoff shows no signs of nearing a resolution. He also praised Israel's military performance, characterizing Israeli forces as 'doing very well,' stressing that expecting Israel to halt its aerial operations inside Iranian territory remains unrealistic given the current dynamics. On the question of de-escalation, Trump voiced conditional openness to a ceasefire. 'I might support a ceasefire depending on how the situation evolves,' he stated. 'But right now, I don't see a clear path to ending the fighting.' He also alleged that Iran was only 'weeks away' from obtaining a nuclear weapon—an outcome he insisted would not have materialized during his presidency. Trump's remarks come amid growing regional backlash over Israel's Operation Rising Lion, a sweeping campaign of strikes on Iranian nuclear and military facilities. The operation resulted in the deaths of several senior commanders from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as well as prominent nuclear scientists, drawing broad condemnation across the region. In retaliation, Iran launched True Promise 3, which has so far consisted of 17 waves of drone and missile attacks in what Tehran described as the largest direct strike on Israeli territory to date.
