Iran’s Supreme Leader Mojtaba Khamenei has declared that national unity will compel adversaries to back down, while emphasising the strategic importance of Pakistan in Tehran’s regional outlook.
In a message addressed to the nation, Khamenei said that the Iranian people had demonstrated resilience by continuing both fasting and what he described as “struggle” simultaneously. He stated that, as a result, the enemy had already begun to weaken.
Khamenei also proposed improved relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan, expressing Tehran’s willingness to play a mediating role between the two neighbours. He said Iran stood ready to facilitate dialogue aimed at enhancing stability and cooperation in the region.
