The Full Message from the Secretary General of Iran’s National Security Council, Ali Larijani, to Muslims:

In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful

To Muslims throughout the world and to the governments of Islamic countries

1. Iran has been subjected to a deceptive American-Zionist aggression that occurred during negotiations, with the aim of dismantling Iran. This aggression has led to the martyrdom of the great and sacrificial Leader of the Islamic Revolution, along with a number of civilians and military commanders. However, the aggressors faced firm national and Islamic resistance from the Iranian people.

2. You know that, except in rare cases and only within the limits of political stances, no Islamic country has stood by the Iranian people. Nevertheless, the Iranian people, with their strong will, were able to suppress the aggressor enemy until it became today incapable of finding a way out of this strategic impasse.

3. Iran is steadfast on the path of resistance in the face of the Great Satan and the Lesser Satan, namely America and Israel. But is the stance of some Islamic governments not contradictory to the saying of the Prophet: “Whoever hears a man calling ‘O Muslims!’ and does not respond to him is not a Muslim”?

So what kind of Islam is this?

4. Some countries have gone further than that, saying that Iran has become an enemy to them because it targeted American bases and American and Israeli interests on its own soil.
Does it mean Iran should stand with its hands tied while the American bases in your countries are used to aggress against it? These are flimsy pretexts. The confrontation today is between America and Israel on one side and Muslim Iran and the forces of resistance on the other. So on which side do you stand?

5. Think about the future of the Islamic world. You know that America is treacherous and that Israel is your enemy—pause for a moment and reflect on yourselves and the future of the region. Iran is your advisor and does not seek to dominate you.

6. The unity of the Islamic nation, if achieved with full strength, is capable of ensuring security, progress, and independence for all its countries.

And peace be upon you.

A servant among the servants of God, Ali Larijani
