Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian said Israel and the United States are trying to incite division in Iran, its neighbors, and Muslim countries, cautioning that rhetoric harming national unity or regional solidarity is a betrayal.

Why it matters:

Unity is not just a moral ideal; it's a strategic necessity for peace, resilience, and justice. During Israel's 12-day imposed war, it was only "unity" that made Iran resist against enemy.

The big picture:

Iran is positioning unity among Muslim nations as a counterweight to U.S.-Israeli aggression. Tehran says that enemies are trying to destroy unity among muslims to achieve their goals.

 

What he's saying:

Pezeshkian: “Any word that disrupts national cohesion or Muslim unity is a betrayal. What protects us from the enemy is our unity and solidarity.”
