Struggles for Sovereignty: How Imposed Peace and War Challenge Independence in the Muslim World

Struggles for Sovereignty: How Imposed Peace and War Challenge Independence in the Muslim World

In a significant diplomatic engagement, Iranian parliamentary leader Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf addressed a gathering of religious scholars, university professors, and cultural leaders in Pakistan, emphasizing the need for unity among Islamic nations. The discussion took place at the Iranian embassy in Islamabad on Friday, where he expressed serious concerns regarding the United States’ dual policy towards the Islamic world.

Ghalibaf condemned the actions of the US, stating that while it attacks and occupies Islamic countries, it simultaneously promotes initiatives like the “Abraham Accords” to normalize relations with the Zionist regime. He firmly stated:

“No Muslim country should allow the establishment of relations with the enemy of Islam and Muslims. Whether it is ‘imposed peace’ or ‘imposed war,’ the result will be nothing but the weakening and dependence of Islamic countries and will prevent the independence and empowerment of the Islamic world.”

Highlighting the recent “Al-Aqsa Storm” operation, Ghalibaf praised Iran’s resistance against the attacks from the Zionist regime. He pointed out that the unity of the Islamic world and the enhancement of scientific and defensive capabilities are crucial to countering the ongoing threats posed by external forces.

  • Support from Pakistan: Ghalibaf appreciated Pakistan’s stance during the 12-day conflict that began on June 13, when Israel launched unprovoked aggression against Iran.
  • Consequences of Aggression: This conflict resulted in the tragic loss of at least 1,064 lives, including military personnel, scientists, and civilians.
  • US Involvement: The US escalated the situation by bombing Iranian nuclear facilities, which Ghalibaf described as a severe violation of international law.

In detailing Iran’s response to the aggression, Ghalibaf noted that the US intervention essentially “rescued” Israel:

“It was the United States that controlled and revived the command center with its advisers and commanders,” he stated, citing the extensive damage inflicted on Israeli targets by Iranian missiles launched from distances of approximately 2,000 kilometers.

He emphasized that without US support, the Israeli regime would have faced a “heavy defeat in less than seven days.” Ghalibaf reiterated the importance of unity among Muslim nations, asserting that if any Islamic state is attacked by Israel, “all Muslims must confront it.”

“We must, by coming closer to one another, create the conditions to destroy this regime,” he urged, highlighting the urgent need for collective action among Muslim countries.

Ghalibaf expressed concerns about the Zionist regime’s ongoing military operations:

  • Current Conflicts: He noted that the regime is currently bombing Lebanon, Syria, and other Muslim nations.
  • Targeting Iran: Ghalibaf remarked that if a war is initiated against Iran, it aims to undermine its independence and strength, mirroring similar destabilization efforts in Syria, Libya, and Lebanon.

To foster resilience, Ghalibaf called for enhanced cooperation in key areas:

  • Science and Technology: Muslim countries must prioritize advancements in science and technology.
  • Education: A strong educational framework is necessary to empower these nations and make up for historical setbacks.

As part of his diplomatic mission, Ghalibaf, leading a parliamentary delegation, arrived in Islamabad on Wednesday morning at the invitation of his Pakistani counterpart, Ayaz Sadiq. This visit underscores the importance of strengthening ties and collaboration among Islamic nations in the face of external pressures and challenges.

In conclusion, Ghalibaf’s remarks highlight the urgent need for solidarity among Muslim countries in confronting shared threats, advocating for strategic partnerships that promote independence, scientific advancement, and collective defense. The dialogue initiated during this meeting could pave the way for a more unified approach to addressing the pressing issues faced by the Islamic world today.
