Islam Times - Iranian President Urges Muslim Unity to Counter External Threats

Islam Times - Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for a unified stance among Muslim nations to safeguard their interests and repel external threats during a major conference in Tehran.

Pezeshkian said Muslims must unite to protect their dignity and drive out those who covet their lands.

The Iranian president made the statement during his address to the 38th International Islamic Unity Conference, which began in Tehran on Thursday with over 144 Shiite and Sunni scholars from 36 countries in attendance.

He stated that the enemy sows discord among Muslim nations, which can only be overcome through unity.

"Unity and coherence will boost Muslims' power," Pezeshkian stated.

He also slammed Muslim nations' inaction in the face of Israeli criminal acts against the Palestinian people, as well as the regime's destruction of hospitals and mosques.

"Israel commits crimes because we (Muslims) do not share a common position and voice. We do not have Islamic unity,” Pezeshkian noted.

The Iranian president emphasized the importance of Muslim nations believing in and putting unity into practice.

He warned that any division among Muslims is like walking on "the edge of fire" and that no power will be able to counter Muslim nations if they foster unity.
