The twenty-third of Muharram 1438 AH marks the thirteenth anniversary of the tragic demolition of Askariyain Holy Shrine. 

Thirteen years ago, during the holy month of Muharram, enemies of Ahlulbait, peace be upon them, demolished the holy shrine in Samarra. 

The holy domes and minarets were bombed by the takfiri groups with over 200 kilograms of explosives planted inside.  

The terrorists used the advantage of the deterioration in the country’s security to fulfil their blood shedding creed. 

His eminence Ayatollah Shirazi spoke of the sorrowful anniversary saying that the sad effects of this incident will not be compensated, and that the holy shrines will be rebuilt soon.
