Six months into war, Iran’s new supreme leader calls for Muslim unity against US, Israel

Iran's supreme leader, Mojtaba Khamenei, has called for Muslim unity against the United States and Israel. In a written message, Khamenei said the solution to the problems of Islamic nations is unity, friendship, and cooperation. He described the US and Israel as "sworn enemies" of Muslim unity, according to Middle East Eye.

Khamenei's message was released six months after the start of the Middle East war, which began on February 28. The war has had a significant impact on the global economy, but according to Associated Press, the direst predictions of its toll have not come true.

Mojtaba Khamenei has been in power since his father, Ali Khamenei, was killed at the start of the war, but he has yet to be seen in public since his appointment, and no video or audio of him has been released, the Malay Mail reported.
