JUI-F Chief Fazlur Rehman Visits Iranian Embassy, Condemns US-Zionist Aggression
In a significant diplomatic gesture, Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam (Fazal) chief Maulana Fazlur Rehman visited the Iranian Embassy in Islamabad yesterday, where he met with Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghaddam. The visit was marked by expressions of deep sorrow over the recent martyrdom of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, and strong condemnations of external aggression against Iran.
Condolences and Condemnations
During his visit, Maulana Fazlur Rehman recorded his heartfelt reflections in the embassy's condolence book, formally extending his sympathies. He did not mince words in his criticism, strongly condemning American and Zionist aggression against Iran. He argued that such actions are part of a broader historical pattern, recalling that "Zionist and European alliances" had historically occupied Palestine, leading to ongoing intense tensions and prolonged conflict in the region.
The JUI-F leader specifically criticized attempts to justify attacks on Iran through what he described as baseless accusations. He framed these as a second wave of aggression, targeting Iran for its unwavering support of Hamas. "Iran is not only defending itself but also standing up for Palestine," he asserted, highlighting Iran's role in regional solidarity.
Call for Muslim Unity and Pakistan's Support
Maulana Fazlur Rehman emphasized the urgent need for unity within the Muslim world. He stated that the Ummah should confront Zionism collectively rather than turning against one another, a message aimed at fostering cohesion amid global challenges. Reaffirming Pakistan's stance, he expressed strong support for Iran during these challenging times, underscoring the bilateral ties between the two nations.
In his remarks, he went further by condemning the United States as an enemy of humanity. He questioned the logic of relying on leaders like Donald Trump for peace efforts, calling it highly problematic and asserting that peace initiatives under the leadership of what he termed "human killers and criminals" are a stain on the name of peace.
Ambassador's Response and Diplomatic Reassurance
Ambassador Reza Amiri Moghaddam warmly welcomed Maulana Fazlur Rehman's visit, praising his and JUI's pivotal role in strengthening Pak-Iran relations. "Your visit brings reassurance and reflects our shared commitment to the cause of Islam. Victory will belong to the Muslim world," the ambassador said, highlighting the mutual dedication to Islamic solidarity and regional stability.
This exchange underscores the ongoing diplomatic engagements between Pakistan and Iran, with both sides advocating for conflict resolution and a focus on securing a better future for children in the region. The visit serves as a reminder of the importance of dialogue and unity in addressing complex geopolitical issues.
