36:38Now PlayingOn January 8, 2025, Imam Mohammad Ali Elahi of the Islamic House of Wisdom in Dearborn, Michigan, delivered a speech steeped in support for Hezbollah and its slain leader, Hassan Nasrallah, declaring it a "blessing" to have been "attached with" Nasrallah and Lebanon’s "martyrs." Elahi, who has long been tied to the Iranian regime's influence network in the U.S., exemplifies Tehran’s propaganda machinery operating on American soil. As the only identifiable American member of the Ahlul Bayt World Assembly—a global organization spreading Iranian ideological influence—Elahi plays a pivotal role in disseminating pro-Iranian narratives. "Sayyed [Nasrallah] and the people who sacrificed in Lebanon and Yemen… are the real winners of 2024," he proclaimed, while denouncing Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as a "real loser." Elahi’s remarks mirrored Tehran’s rhetoric, praying for the defeat of "criminal, occupying Zionists" and promising to sell his apartment to aid families in Lebanon. With his ties to high-level Iranian leaders and a history of promoting Iran's ideological and political agenda, Elahi’s public glorification of Hezbollah highlights the Iranian regime’s deeply rooted soft power operations in America.
