Iran's Parliament speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf has called on Muslims worldwide to unite against US and Israeli plots to create divisions among them and dominate the West Asian region and "wipe them from the earth."
In a message on Friday, Qalibaf congratulated Muslims on the occasion of Eid al-Fitr, and stressed that any division among Muslims only serves the interests of "our common enemies."
"From today, we must strive to build a new security order in this region based on fraternity among us, not on trust in the enemies of Islam or obedience to their dictates," he added.
In an apparent reference to the US military bases in the region, Qalibaf said Washington promises to protect the host Arab countries, but it only brings “war and insecurity “to the region.
He stressed that any Muslim who relies on America, which is the main supporter of Israel's genocide in Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, actually has no helper.
"You know that anyone clothed by America is in fact naked," Qalibaf said, noting that Washington doesn't abide by any agreement or commitment.
"Therefore, let us be aware and united," he stated.
Noting that the same coalition, namely the US and Israel, which has committed a genocide in Gaza, is now killing the people of Iran, Qalibaf wondered.
"Is it acceptable that the land of a Muslim country hosts this coalition?"
Qalibaf urged some rulers of Muslim countries, who openly or secretly cooperate with “these criminals”, to “choose the path of truth before it is too late,” prioritizing collaboration with Islamic countries over friendship with their enemies.
He noted that Iran’s attack on US interests and bases in neighboring countries in retaliation for their use by the aggressors as a launchpad for attacks on civilians in Iran was “inevitable.”
“The solution is to take our destiny into our own hands; otherwise, America and Israel will turn all our cities into Gaza. They see each of us—Shia and Sunni, adult and child, military and civilian—as Amalekites. And you know that they believe Amalekites must be exterminated and wiped from the earth,” Qalibaf noted.
He stressed that no retaliatory Iranian attack will be carried out against the host countries if they stop the US from attacking Iran from their territories.
“If Muslim countries, through brotherhood and cooperation, take control of the region’s destiny without foreign interference, lasting security will be established for all Muslim nations,” the parliament speaker stressed.
“Through bilateral and multilateral security and economic agreements, we can establish a new order in the region, so that all the region’s countries benefit from stable and reliable security,” he said, emphasizing that the region’s benefits “must belong exclusively to its own people.”
“Today is the time for action. Today is the time for brotherhood,” he reiterated.
The US and Israel started the latest round of aerial aggression on Iran on February 28, some eight months after they carried out unprovoked attacks on the country.
Iran began to swiftly retaliate against the strikes by launching barrages of missiles and drone attacks on the Israeli-occupied territories as well as on US bases and interests in regional countries.
