The publication of Mr. Khamenei's remarks about the amount of tears that the late Imam shed in the afterlife has stirred quite a commotion in purgatory. I contacted the late Ahmad Agha to see how the Imam was doing. He said the issue of the Imam's blessed eyes tearing up has not been resolved in this world either, and we are currently removing buckets of water from their room, but it doesn't help. When I asked about the accuracy of Mr. Khamenei's memory, he confirmed it, saying that several times the Imam's tears were so abundant that in the morning, the residents of his household found themselves in the streets of Jamaran, realizing they had been thrown out of the house by the flood of the Imam's tears. We became a bit emotional due to the late Imam's piety. The late Hashemi Shahroudi had a meeting. He was happy that he is gradually finding his way in purgatory. So much so that when Sarhouri brought him tea, he stared at him in such a way that, with God's permission, Sarhouri melted into the ground. The late Shahroudi also expressed astonishment at the amount of the Imam's tears in that world and suggested that it might be better to use the Imam to fertilize clouds and solve the drought problem. The late Mr. Kordan called and said that since he has a PhD in irrigation, he could help in this area. The late Mr. Chavez called from the purgatory of Venezuela and announced a seminar titled 'Examining the Dimensions of the Imam's Eye in the Fight Against Colonialism, etc.' The late Mahmoud Agha, the Minister of Slogans in purgatory, called to consult whether it would be better to refer to the Imam as 'Sultan of Water' or 'Sultan of Tears' in his slogans from now on. In the evening, we had a private conversation with Sarhouri. He is tired of staying at home and sighing for us. It was decided to introduce him for a position on the board of the Council for Circumventing Sanctions so he could be entertained by purchasing properties in purgatory in Canada. In this context, how did various groups react under Raisi's presidency? A letter of thanks from Bashar al-Assad to the Leader. Unpublished excerpts from Ayatollah Khomeini's will.
