Ahmad Charara, listed as the key principal of the Hadi Institute in Dearborn, also recited a poem, declaring: 'We will never be silenced. If they have the nerve to say they will assassinate Ayatollah Khamenei […] To hell with your dirty and stained mouth!' Charara chanted 'Away with the humiliation!' along with a recording of assassinated Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah. On July 1, Salamey recited another poem in which he said that Zionists are not humans regardless of their flesh and bones. Charara said: 'We are not scared. They can call us names, they can label us, they can try to clip our videos to make them look sinful, but the truth is out in the open.' Both events featured lectures by local Islamic scholar Usama Abdulghani, described as the 'spiritual leader' of the Hadi Institute and the associated K–5 Hadi Montessori School.

Michigan Teacher and Activist Tarek Bazzi Shares AI-Generated Video Depicting Iran Destroying Israel, and States: The Resistance Is Fighting the Forces of U.S. Imperialism and Zionist Colonialism on B
On June 15, 2025, Michigan teacher and activist Tarek Bazzi, affiliated with the Hadi Institute, shared two consecutive videos on his Instagram story. In the first, he praised 'the resistance and its people,' saying they are fighting 'in the way of God,' on behalf of all humanity, against the 'arrogant and tyrannical forces of U.S. imperialism and Zionist colonialism.' In the next story, Bazzi shared an AI-animated video depicting Iranian military forces destroying Israel. The clip opens with Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei leaning on a rifle and addressing IRGC commanders, declaring: 'The beginning of the end has arrived.' The video, titled True Promise, the name of Iran's anti-Israel military campaign, was created by Zill-E-Abbas Khwaja, a UK-based creative AI generator, and posted to the Shadow of Abbas Instagram account. It is worth noting that Bazzi was the MC of the April 2024 Al-Quds Day rally in Dearborn, where the crowd chanted 'Death to America!' Usama Abdulghani, who also spoke at the rally, said in a June 12, 2025 Friday sermon at the Hadi Institute that Iran is doing a favor for mankind by attacking Israel.
