Mojtaba Khamenei in a message to Gulf states: "Know who the real enemy is"
Iran's Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei urged Muslim leaders to identify their "true enemy," accusing the US and Israel of orchestrating divisions within the Islamic world.
The Supreme Leader of Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei, published a series of messages this morning, Sunday, on his account on the social network X, delivering a message to the leaders of Muslim countries, and in particular the Gulf states: "You must know who your real enemy is, understand its plots, and stand against them." These messages were published with high frequency throughout the morning, despite the fact that he has not yet appeared in public.
He further wrote:
"The criminal rulers of the United States and the illegitimate Zionist regime harbor resentment toward the entire Islamic nation. In this context, even the rulers of these countries — many of whom are considered their allies — are not exempt."
In another post, he wrote that the enemy of Islam seeks to turn racial, cultural, social, economic, political, and geographical differences into an excuse for sowing division among Muslims to disintegrate their power, while waiting for a convenient moment to impose its rule. Khamenei added that anyone who acts to create discord in the Islamic community, whether intentionally or unintentionally, is advancing the agenda of the enemies of Islam.
Yesterday, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian stated that Iranian exports and imports have dropped by about 35% following the sanctions and the American blockade. Pezeshkian also noted that "Iran managed to sell about 90 million barrels of oil during the short-term memorandum of understanding that the US and Iran signed in June," when Washington allowed the sale of Iranian oil.
Additionally, in a statement attributed to the Supreme Leader, it was emphasized that there is a need to seriously address economic challenges such as inflation, unemployment, and price management. Following the sanctions, the Iranian government announced that it "will stand firm" against them, claiming these are "conspiracies between the US and Israel." The government stated it would focus on curbing inflation, creating jobs, supporting local production, and gradually reducing dependence on the dollar.
