During the June 26–28, 2025 Muharram commemoration at the Shiite Hadi Institute in Dearborn, MI, local Islamic scholar and 'spiritual leader' of the Hadi Institute and the associated K-5 Hadi Montessori School, Usama Abdulghani, urged participants to 'trust our leadership.' He praised Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, saying, 'He is a very capable general, he is playing chess when they are playing checkers.' Ahmad Charara, listed as the key principal of the Hadi Institute, quoted Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah, calling him 'one of the greatest martyrs of our time,' and said: 'With our blood, with our tears, with our breath and our souls… [we will] triumph over every sword of tyranny, oppression, invasion, and occupation.' Abdulghani described Nasrallah as 'irreplaceable.' An unnamed official at the Hadi Institute said that 'the seeds have been planted' to assassinate 'our beloved' Khamenei, whom he described as the 'Leader of the Resistance.' He asked whether the audience would sit idly by while a Muslim is threatened, saying: 'We may be across the world, but we have a role to play.'
