Iran’s Supreme Leader Calls for Muslim Solidarity Against the U.S.

In a meeting with high-ranking officials on Monday, Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution, called on Muslims worldwide to unite and resist what he termed, the global arrogance of the U.S., this according to a report in IRNA, the official news agency of Iran. Speaking on Be’sat, the anniversary of the Prophet’s announcement of his prophethood, the Supreme Leader charged the U.S. would not be satisfied with anything less than the “absolute domination of the Muslim world and the Middle East.” Khamenei went on to criticize Islamic countries, who he believes, have remained silent and complacent towards what he called the “atrocities” of the U.S. and Israel in the Muslim world, saying that the U.S. and Zionists are the real sponsors of terrorism. The incendiary rhetoric comes at a time when Washington. is charging that Iran is engaged in the covert development of nuclear arms, in defiance of the international community, and should be brought before the U.N. Security Council for sanctions. European governments have called for a November deadline to resolve the issue and are seeking assurances that Tehran has no designs on developing atomic weapons.
