Mojtaba Khamenei, Iran's Supreme Leader, has called on Muslim countries, particularly those in the Gulf, to unite against what he described as their "real enemy". In a message published on his Telegram account for Islamic Unity Week, which marks the birthday of the Prophet Muhammad, Khamenei urged greater unity and cooperation among Muslim countries, including in defence.
He warned that anyone who creates divisions among Muslims, "knowingly or unknowingly", was helping the enemies of Islam. According to Dawn, Khamenei questioned whether Palestinians would have been left "so helpless" if Muslims had been united.
Khamenei's message comes after a period of turmoil, with The Vibes reporting that he was reportedly injured in US-Israeli air strikes that triggered the Iran war and killed his father and predecessor as supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Since then, he has not appeared in public.
