(Daily Signal)—Hundreds of Iranian mothers lifted their babies above their heads in a symbolic act of sacrifice during the annual Hosseini Infants Ceremony in Tehran on Friday.
The ceremony, with similar celebrations held across Iran on June 27, takes place on the first Friday of the Islamic month of Muharram and commemorates the death of Shia Islam leader Husayn ibn Ali’s 6-month-old son in 680 A.D.
The large crowd of women holding their babies chanted “death to America” and “death to Israel” during the event, according to CNN’s Frederik Pleitgen, who reported from the gathering in Tehran.
Israel and America “need to know that Imam Hussain is our everything, and we should sacrifice our lives for Imam Hussain,” a mother holding her baby told CNN.
Husayn ibn Ali, often referred to as Imam Hussain, was the grandson of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. During the Battle of Karbala in 680 A.D., it is said Husayn ibn Ali and his fellow fighters were cut off from the Euphrates River—their only water source. Husayn ibn Ali held up his infant son to the enemy in a plea for water for his child, but the enemy is said to have killed the child instead.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
