Urgent Call for Action: Leader Demands Strong Measures to Halt Israeli Violations in Gaza

In a significant diplomatic meeting, the Leader of the Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, emphasized the importance of collaboration between Iran and Pakistan to address the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This meeting underscores Pakistan’s vital role in the Muslim world and highlights the need for united efforts against the injustices perpetrated by the Israeli regime.

The meeting took place in Tehran on Monday with Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif. During this important discussion, Ayatollah Khamenei praised the recent cessation of hostilities between Pakistan and India, expressing hope for a peaceful resolution of their differences.

Key points from Ayatollah Khamenei’s remarks include:

• Pakistan’s longstanding and commendable stance on the issue of Palestine.
• The impact of external temptations on Muslim countries to engage with the Zionist regime, which Pakistan has resisted.
• The necessity for unity among Muslim nations to combat global discord and conflict.
• The significance of Palestine as the “prime issue of the Muslim world.”
• The observation of protests in Europe and the US against the situation in Gaza.
• Concerns over some Muslim countries’ support for the Israeli regime.

Moreover, Ayatollah Khamenei highlighted the potential for Iran and Pakistan to lead the Muslim world in redirecting the Palestinian issue towards a more constructive resolution. He expressed optimism about the future of Muslim unity and cooperation.

The Leader acknowledged the “warm and brotherly” relations between Tehran and Islamabad, recalling Pakistan’s supportive role during the Iraq-Iran war (1980-1988). He pointed out that current bilateral cooperation is below expectations and expressed a desire for both nations to assist each other across various sectors.

Ayatollah Khamenei also articulated his hopes that Prime Minister Sharif’s visit would significantly enhance relations in economic, political, and cultural domains. He stressed the importance of collaboration to activate the Economic Cooperation Organization (ECO).

During the meeting, which was attended by Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, Prime Minister Sharif commended Iran’s constructive role in addressing Pakistan-India tensions. He expressed disappointment at the international community’s lack of decisive action to alleviate the crisis in Gaza.

Prime Minister Sharif’s visit marks his second official trip to Tehran in the past year, accompanied by Pakistani Army Chief General Syed Asim Munir. He was welcomed at Tehran’s Mehrabad International Airport by Interior Minister Eskandar Momeni.

This diplomatic engagement reflects the commitment of both nations to strengthen ties and tackle pressing regional issues collaboratively.
