Hafiz Naeem‑ur‑Rehman, the Chief of Jamaat‑e‑Islami Pakistan, has condemned what he describes as U.S. interference in Iran’s internal affairs, accusing Washington of fueling unrest and violating Iran’s sovereignty.

Why it matters:

The remarks add a regional political voice to ongoing debates about foreign involvement in Iran’s domestic issues. Statements from influential political figures in neighboring countries significantly influence public sentiment and shape diplomatic dynamics in the region.

The big picture:

Iran has witnessed a wave of unrest involving armed terrorist attacks and riots. The United States and Israel support these groups.  

Following the failure of Washington and Tel Aviv to incite public unrest to destabilize the Islamic Republic through previous political and media efforts, these armed terrorists and rioters are now attempting to fuel internal chaos and insecurity through violent means.

These acts are the biggest terrorist attacks orchestrated by the U.S. and Israel against the Islamic Republic and the Iranian people.

 

What he’s saying:

Naeem‑ur‑Rehman accused the United States of “sending agents” and “turning peaceful protests into bloody riots.”

He emphasized that Iran is a sovereign state and that interference in its internal affairs “violates international law.”

“Defending against foreign interference is Iran’s legitimate right,” he said.

He urged Muslim countries to “isolate America” and called for Pakistan to take a “more proactive” stance.

He warned that “another war in the region is not in the interest of humanity.”
