Iranian Commander Asks Muslims to Keep Vigilant against Zionists’ Divisive Plots

Commander of Iran’s Basij (volunteer) Force Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi called on the regional countries to be vigilant against the plots hatched by Israel to stir ethnic and sectarian strife in the region.
“The Zionist are trying to stage a sectarian war among Muslims with the help and support of the US and Britain in a bid to delay their destruction,” Naqdi said while addressing a group of people taking part in International Quds Day Rallies in the Northeastern city of Bojnourd on Friday.

Early in June, Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei urged the Muslim nations to be vigilant against the plots hatched by the enemies to create rift among them.

Ayatollah Khamenei made the remarks in a meeting with Iranian officials and ambassadors of Muslim countries in Tehran at the time on the occasion of Mab’ath, the anniversary of the appointment of Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to prophethood.

“Hegemonic powers intend to sow discord among Muslims in order to distract them from their main issues and making the necessary progress,” Ayatollah Khamenei said.

The Supreme Leader noted that the most important duty of Muslim nations under the present conditions is to remain vigilant against the enemy plots in a bid to be able to take appropriate measures and avoid mistakes.

“The enemy’s main scheme is to create rifts and conflict among Muslims. So, unity, solidarity and cooperation are the most pressing needs of the Muslim world,” Ayatollah Khamenei underlined.

He said that the enemies seek to drive a wedge between Muslims to deflect their attention from their main enemies which are corrupt capitalism and the Zionist regime of Israel.
