Iran’s President Urges Islamic Unity Against US-Israel

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian has called for greater unity and cooperation among Muslim countries, saying solidarity across the Islamic world is essential to confronting threats and crises in West Asia.

In a series of phone calls with the leaders of several Muslim countries ahead of Eid al-Adha, Pezeshkian stressed the importance of Islamic solidarity and expanding regional cooperation.

Millions of Muslims mark Eid al-Adha on the 10th day of Dhul Hijjah to honour Prophet Abraham’s devotion to God, demonstrated by his willingness to sacrifice his son, Prophet Ishmael. In recognition of his faith, God is believed to have intervened and provided a ram to be sacrificed instead.
