Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei urged Muslim countries, particularly those in the Gulf, to unite against what he called their “real enemy” and said divisions among Muslims served the interests of their adversaries.
The message was published on Mojtaba’s Telegram account for Islamic Unity Week, which marks the birth anniversary of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
It called for Muslim unity, cooperation in various fields and mutual defence, saying anyone who creates divisions among Muslims, “knowingly or unknowingly,” helps Islam’s enemies.
“And how, in these times, can anyone attribute such an act to ignorance or negligence, when the tyrants of the world, led by the criminal US, have now cast aside the deceptive and flimsy masks concealing their ugly colonial aims and their hegemonic and domination-seeking schemes, removed their deceptive velvet gloves, and revealed their bloodstained claws to the entire world?” the supreme leader said, according to Iran’s Press TV.
He asked whether Palestinians would have been left “so helpless” and “subjected to the oppression and crimes of the occupiers” if Muslims had been united.
