Defense Minister Khawaja Asif urges Muslim countries to cut ties with Tel Aviv over strikes on Iran.
Pakistani Defense Minister Khawaja Asif has called on Muslim nations to unite against Israel following its strikes on Iranian military and nuclear sites. He warned that failing to act collectively would only encourage further attacks across the Middle East.
Speaking in the National Assembly on Saturday, Asif argued that Israel “did not act alone” and had received “intelligence, cover, and support.” He said the Muslim world remained “militarily vulnerable” and urged a joint response.
“Just as Israel is currently targeting Yemen, Iran, and Palestine, if the Muslim world does not unite today and continues to prioritize its own interests and agendas, then everyone’s turn will come,” he told lawmakers.
Asif called for the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to convene and devise a strategy to confront Israel. “Wherever there are diplomatic ties with Israel in the Muslim world, they should be severed,” he said.
“We stand behind Iran and will support them at every international forum to protect their interests,” the defense minister added.
On Friday morning, Israeli jets bombed military and nuclear sites across Iran and carried out assassinations of several senior Iranian military commanders and veteran nuclear scientists. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strikes were aimed at preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. In response, Iran launched multiple ballistic missiles at Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv.
While the US denied involvement, President Donald Trump endorsed Israel’s operation. Iran has since suspended nuclear talks with Washington.
Cant see this happening. Iran is shia, most of the surrounding countries are run by sunni puppets installed by the zionists and neocons
Only pressure from populations will oblige muslims govts to unite. To survive.
Everybody, even now the poors and destitute of the world are informed and saw what israhell did to Gaza and its inhabitants, muslims or not as there are also christians who are victims. And many are revulsed and outraged ( among whom also europeans) by what transpired, despite the pro israhell propaganda . Now its Iran’s turn.
Comes a time when the tide changes and govts have to give in to the population pressure.
We have now arrived at an civilisation turning point. What was not possible yesterday will happen to day or to morrow
The surrounding Muslim Nations now realise that if Israel nukes Iran, then they will be next, and Israel has to be dealt with NOW, despite Muslim differences.
Turkiye is especially pissed off at these events, and it must be remembered that Turkiye has the largest army in NATO, is very close geographically to Israel, making targeting very easy with massive amounts of projectiles that cannot now be stopped.
Syria was taken over by a J3w that the West, the UN and NATO allowed to run straight-thru the eastern part of Syria on the way to Damascus.
On the way they massacred Christians by the thousands….just what the Israeli’s wanted.
Syria is now a full-blown Zionist State, complete with Genocide and War Crimes now on it’s blood-stained sticky hands!
