Why it matters:
The visit signals solidarity from a prominent Pakistani political and religious leader at a time of the U.S.-Israeli aggressions agaisnt the Iranians, a muslim nation, reinforcing calls for unity across the Islamic world.
The big picture:
Maulana Fazlur Rehman met with Iran’s Ambassador to Pakistan, Reza Amiri Moghadam, at the embassy in Islamabad.
He condemned the American-Zionist aggression against Iran.
The cleric described Iran’s position as a defense not only of its sovereignty but also of the Palestinian cause.
What he’s saying:
“Zionism and its Western allies first occupied Palestine, and the region continues to suffer from prolonged conflict and instability.”
“The allegations used to justify attacks against Iran are baseless.”
“The Muslim Ummah must confront Zionism collectively instead of engaging in internal disputes.”
He also sharply criticized the United States, calling it “an enemy of humanity,” and dismissed expectations of peace from U.S. leaders, including Donald Trump.
Go deeper:
Ambassador Amiri Moghadam praised Maulana Fazlur Rehman and Jamiat Ulema-e-Islam for supporting stronger bilateral relations.
The envoy expressed confidence that “victory will ultimately belong to the Islamic world.”
