Iran's supreme leader calls for Muslim unity against US and Israel

Iran's supreme leader calls for Muslim unity against US and Israel


Iran's supreme leader calls for Muslim unity against US and Israel

Iran's supreme leader, Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei, urged rulers of Muslim nations to "know your real enemy, understand its plans and confront it,” and called the U.S. and Israel enemies of all Islamic nations, the official IRNA news agency reported.

Six months after the U.S. and Israel attacked Iran, killing Khamenei's father and other senior leaders, Khamenei still has not been seen publicly. His comments came in a letter to religious leaders attending a conference in Tehran.

The war has exposed divisions in the Muslim world after Iran struck targets in neighboring Gulf Arab countries and restricted shipping through the Strait of Hormuz. Tehran has opposed the U.S. military presence in the region.

Netanyahu son evacuated from US over ‘significant’ threat

Israel’s Shin Bet security agency says it urgently evacuated Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s oldest son from the United States due to a threat against him.

In a brief statement obtained Sunday, the Shin Bet confirmed there had been a “significant threat” to Yair Netanyahu. It did not elaborate.

But the prime minister told an Israeli TV station last week that Iran had tried to kill one of his sons. His office declined to comment Sunday.

Yair Netanyahu moved to Miami in 2023 and remained out of the country for most of the time while Israel was at war in Gaza, Lebanon and Iran. He has often served as an unofficial adviser to his father while sometimes sparking controversy over his attacks on critics on social media.
