AhlulBayt News Agency: A senior official of Pakistan’s Majlis Wahdat-e-Muslimeen (MWM) has condemned threats made by Donald Trump against the Leader of Iran’s Islamic Revolution, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei, describing them as provocative and a clear violation of international law and fundamental human values.
In a statement, Hojatoleslam Sayyed Shafqat Hussain Shirazi, Secretary for Foreign Affairs of the MWM, said that targeting a senior religious authority amounts to an attack on the entire Muslim world. He stressed that Muslims across different countries are united in their respect for religious leadership and would respond collectively to any act of aggression.
Shirazi stated that such rhetoric reflects confusion and fear among the hegemonic powers. He emphasized that Ayatollah Khamenei’s influence extends beyond Iran’s borders, noting that his followers and supporters are present across the Muslim world. According to Shirazi, intimidation and hostile language have historically failed to silence religious authorities, whom he described as guided by faith rather than fear.
The Pakistani cleric further argued that threats against religious figures undermine international norms and destabilize global peace. He said that neither military power nor coercive language has ever succeeded in subduing what he called the inheritors of the prophetic tradition, adding that such approaches have often signaled the moral and political decline of oppressive powers.
Calling on international organizations and groups that claim to defend human rights, Shirazi urged them to take a clear and principled stance against threats directed at Muslim religious leaders. He warned that ignoring such statements could endanger not only regional stability but also broader international security.
Concluding his remarks, the MWM foreign affairs secretary reiterated that Muslims worldwide stand united in defense of their religious symbols and leadership. He cautioned that any miscalculation or act of aggression, particularly by the United States, would not remain confined to one country and would, in his words, be met with a widespread and decisive international response.
