Ayatollah Khamenei calls for Muslim unity 

Iran’s leader Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei has called for Muslim unity in response to the atrocities committed by the Israeli regime.

He addressed Friday prayers in Tehran.

Ayatollah Khamenei said that Muslims face a common enemy and warned that failure to support those oppressed by this enemy could lead to further targeting of their own nations.

He said: “The brilliant work of our armed forces was completely legal and legitimate. What our armed forces did was the least punishment for the usurping Zionist regime over the astonishing crimes of this wolf-like regime and rabid dog of America…

The prayer in Tehran followed a commemoration ceremony for Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah who was assassinated in an Israeli airstrike in Beirut.

Ayatollah Khamenei described Nasrallah as “my brother, my dear and my pride, the beloved face of the Islamic world, and the eloquent voice of the nations of the region, [and] the shining jewel of Lebanon.”
