Tehran's Friday prayers were led by Ayatollah Seddiqi on December 9, 2011 in Tehran University. In his first of two sermons, the ayatollah called the downing of the US' RQ-170 stealth drone a Divine reward for Iranians' Muharram mournings. He added that the fall has compensated for the death of Brig. General Hassan Tehrani-Moghaddam, killed in November in a blast in an ammo depot near Tehran.
