‘Joint Operations Command’ by Muslim Nations Against Israel
TEHRAN -- Iran’s top security official on Saturday called on Islamic countries to take concrete action against Israel and form a “joint operations headquarters,” warning that holding summits without practical outcomes would only embolden further Israeli aggression.
“Warning to Islamic governments! Holding an Islamic conference full of speeches and without practical outcomes (like a UN Security Council session) is equivalent to ordering a new aggression by the Zionist regime,” Ali Larijani, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, wrote on his official account on X.
“At the very least, against the madness of this regime, establish a ‘joint operations headquarters,’” he added.
Larijani’s remarks come ahead of an emergency meeting of Arab and Islamic leaders scheduled for Sunday and Monday in Doha, Qatar, where the ongoing Israeli military campaign is expected to top the agenda. The summit follows recent escalations involving Israel in the region.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian is expected to attend the summit, which Tehran views as a critical opportunity for unified Islamic action.
“Even this decision will make the master of this regime extremely worried, forcing him—out of panic for global peace and a Nobel prize(!)—to revise his orders to the Zionist regime,” Larijani wrote.
He further criticized the lack of support for Palestinians, particularly in Gaza. “You have done nothing for the hungry and oppressed Muslims of Palestine. At least take a small decision to prevent your own destruction,” he said.
Larijani’s warning reflects Iran’s long-standing stance against Israel and its calls for collective Islamic resistance. Tehran has often criticized ineffectual international and regional responses to Israeli military aggressions, particularly in the Palestinian territories.
Iran does not recognize Israel and has provided political support to groups opposing it, including Hamas and Hezbollah.
