Iran's Supreme Leader urges Islamic nations to unite against US and Israel

In a written message on the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei called on Muslim nations across West Asia and the Persian Gulf to identify the United States and Israel as their real enemy and unite against them, maintaining Tehran's hardline stance amid ongoing war and naval tensions in the Strait of Hormuz.

Why this matters. The address signals that Iranian leadership will resist US economic sanctions and maintain its naval posture in the Persian Gulf rather than accept unilateral maritime terms.
