Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has issued a warning against what he calls US and Israeli efforts to sow discord among Muslims globally. In a statement released by Iranian state media, Khamenei urged Muslim nations to resist external interference and maintain unity. The remarks come amid heightened tensions in the Middle East, with the US and Israel facing criticism for their regional policies.
Khamenei has not been seen publicly since being injured in airstrikes attributed to the US and Israel six months ago. His absence has raised questions about his health and the stability of Iran’s leadership. The message to Gulf rulers emphasizes a call for collective action against what he describes as the “real enemy,” a reference often used to denote Western powers.
The comments reflect a broader strategy by Iran to position itself as a defender of Muslim interests against Western influence. Analysts suggest that Khamenei’s message is aimed at reinforcing alliances within the Muslim world and countering perceived threats from the West. The situation remains closely watched by regional and international observers.
