#IsraelIranConflict lAs a Muslim standing in solidarity with Iran, I'd like to share some thoughts on the recent Israel-Iran conflict.
*What's happening?*
Israel launched a large-scale aerial assault on Iran's nuclear facilities, missile factories, and military sites on June 13, 2025, in an operation dubbed "Rising Lion". This attack resulted in significant damage and loss of life, including senior IRGC leaders and nuclear scientists. Iran has vowed to respond to this aggression.¹
*Global Reaction*
The international community has been divided over this conflict. Arab states like Kuwait and Egypt have strongly condemned Israel's actions, describing them as a "blatant breach of international law" and a "threat to regional security". Meanwhile, the United States has expressed support for Israel. The United Nations has expressed concerns over rising tensions.² ³
*Muslim Unity and Support*
As a Muslim, standing with Iran in this conflict means advocating for the rights and sovereignty of nations in the region. Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has called for stronger measures by Muslim states to support Palestinians against Israel's atrocities. Many Muslims around the world, including in the US, have spoken out against potential wars with Iran, emphasizing the need for peaceful resolutions.⁴ ⁵
*Key Concerns*
- *Regional Stability*: The conflict has raised concerns about the potential for escalation and its impact on regional and global security.
- *Nuclear Implications*: The targeting of nuclear facilities has sparked fears about the humanitarian and environmental consequences.
- *Human Rights*: The conflict has resulted in significant loss of life and displacement, highlighting the need for protection of human rights.
Let's hope for a peaceful resolution to this conflict. #IsraelIranConflict #MuslimUnity #PeaceInTheMiddleEast
