Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian declared Monday that the Islamic Republic “does not seek conflict with any Muslim nation, nor will it oppose or differ with any Islamic state.”

Speaking at the opening of the 39th International Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran, Pezeshkian  emphasized the necessity of solidarity among Muslims, calling unity “the way to confront challenges and achieve dignity and honor.” He stressed that Islamic nations “can be stronger and more cohesive, standing united against those who attack them.”

The Iranian president underscored that “the United States and Israel would not dare attack Muslims if the Islamic community were united,” blaming internal divisions for enabling aggression. He warned that “enemies sell weapons to Islamic countries, plunder their resources, and seek to sow discord among them.”

Response to Israeli aggression

Referring to the recent Israeli-instigated war on Iran, Pezeshkian said the Iranian Armed Forces “delivered a mighty blow to the United States and Israel through our missiles.” He emphasized, however, that “the most powerful blow was delivered not on the battlefield, but by the Iranian people through their unity and cohesion.”

“If the United States and Israel fail in their plots against Iran, it is not solely because of our missiles or the strength of our fighters,” he continued. “It is the solidarity of our people that inflicted the greatest blow on the enemy, frustrating their schemes and exposing their weakness.”

The Iranian president thanked the Islamic countries that condemned the Israeli aggression against Iran, but said statements of condemnation were not enough. “The Islamic world must take practical steps, not only words, if we are to confront those who seek to divide and weaken us,” he insisted.

39th International Islamic Unity conference

The conference, coinciding with the 1500th anniversary of the Prophet's birth, is being held from September 8-10 with the participation of 80 prominent scholars, 210 guests, and 2,800 activists from across the Islamic world.

The Iranian president delivered the opening address. This year's conference features a special commission to address challenges facing the Islamic world, including domestic issues.

As part of the three-day event, foreign participants will also have the opportunity to witness the country's scientific and military advancements, MEHR reported.

Recognizing the disproportionate impact on women in the current global climate and the enemy's attempts to influence children, the conference will dedicate commissions to discussions on the vital role of women in countering these threats.

Sayyed Khamenei calls for prioritizing economy, national unity

In a similar context, Iranian leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei met with President Masoud Pezeshkian and his cabinet members on Sunday, urging the new administration to prioritize solutions to the economic challenges facing the Iranian people.

During the meeting, Sayyed Khamenei described the issue of livelihood as one of the country’s most pressing concerns, stressing that officials must address rising prices of essential goods and ensure stable supplies of foodstuffs and other necessities. 

“The high morale, motivation, and unity of the nation are the most important components of national power,” he said, urging both the people and officials to safeguard unity.

He said ensuring sufficient reserves would stabilize markets, prevent sudden price hikes, and protect national food security.

Sayyed Ali Khamenei emphasized that strengthening the components of national power and dignity remains the government’s foremost duty.
