Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei on Sunday called on leaders of Muslim countries, and particularly those in the Gulf, to stand together against Israel and the United States, imploring them to “know your real enemy.”
The written message addressed to religious leaders who attended a conference in Tehran was published on Khamenei’s Telegram account for Islamic Unity Week, which marks the birthday of Islam’s Prophet Muhammad.
It called for Muslim unity, cooperation in various fields, and mutual defense, saying anyone who creates division among Muslims, “knowingly or unknowingly,” helps Islam’s enemies.
“The solution to the problems of the Islamic nations is unity of words, friendship, and cooperation on the path of goodness,” Khamenei wrote. “Anyone, in any position, who does anything that leads to division among Muslims and creates conflict in the Muslim community, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally, has served the purpose of the enemies of Islam.”
“My enduring and repeating advice to rulers of Islamic nations,” he wrote, “is to know your real enemy, understand its plans and confront it.”
