‘Which side are you on?’ Larijani’s sharp question to the Muslim world, call for unity

Ali Larijani has directly questioned the position of Muslim countries amid the tense situation in the Middle East. In a message, he wanted to know which side Muslim countries are actually supporting in the current conflict. At the same time, he sharply criticized the United States and Israel and called for a tough stance against them.

Larijani alleged that Iran has practically become alone in the ongoing conflict. He expressed disappointment that many countries in the Muslim world have not provided the expected support. Questioning the role of the United Arab Emirates in particular, he said that some countries are identifying Iran as an ‘enemy’ under the pretext of their own security and interests, which is contrary to the spirit of Muslim unity.

He also said that the response of Muslim countries after the military actions of the United States and Israel was weak and disappointing. According to him, very few countries have stood by the Iranian people. In this context, he also highlighted the moral teachings of Islam - if a Muslim does not respond to a call for help, his responsibility cannot be avoided.

Larijani argued that if Iran is attacked using foreign military bases on the soil of a country, then Iran's reaction is natural. He explained this position as "self-defense" and said that it is unreasonable to blame Iran for these incidents.

Finally, he called for unity among Muslim countries. In his words, the current conflict is not just regional - it is a fight between the United States and Israel on one side, and Iran and the resistance forces on the other. Therefore, the Muslim world must clarify its position now. He also expressed hope that if Islamic countries unite, they will be able to ensure their security, independence and development.
