Iran’s Leader hails Iraqi religious authority, nation for firm stance in support of Iran amid aggression

Iran's Leader, Ayatollah Seyyed Mujtaba Khamenei, has expressed profound gratitude to Iraq's senior religious authority and its people for their clear and principled position in the face of recent aggression against the Islamic Republic, reaffirming their steadfast support for the Iranian nation.

Hawzah News Agency, the Leader's message of appreciation was conveyed in a meeting between Sheikh Hammam Hamoudi, head of Iraq's Islamic Supreme Council, and Mohammad Kazem Ale Sadegh, Iran's ambassador to Baghdad. The message was delivered to the Iraqi official during the gathering in the Iraqi capital.

The Leader's commendation comes in response to a recent call by Iraq's prominent Shia cleric, Grand Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Sistani, who issued a statement urging Muslims to rally in support of the people of Iran and Lebanon amid escalating hostilities in the region.

Ayatollah Sistani's intervention was widely seen as a significant gesture of solidarity, reflecting the deep historical and spiritual ties between the two neighboring nations. Iraqi popular and political circles have also voiced strong opposition to any violation of Iran's sovereignty, with numerous rallies and statements denouncing acts of military aggression.

The exchange underscores the growing unity between the religious establishments and nations of Iran and Iraq in the face of external threats, further solidifying the bond that has strengthened significantly since the defeat of the Daesh terrorist group.
