Hawzah News Agency- the Pakistani students gathered to honor the victims and stand shoulder to shoulder with their Iranian brothers and sisters. The event drew several prominent Pakistani religious and cultural figures, including Hamza Mustafai, a central leader of the Sunni Etihad Council, and Khalil from the Jamaat-e-Islami party.
"Children Must Be Shielded from War"
Former Senator and Sunni Etihad leader Hamza Mustafai declared that children must be kept far from the flames of war and directed solely toward the pursuit of knowledge and a better future.
He stressed that Islamic teachings mandate the protection of not only children but also the elderly, animals, trees, scholars, and persons with disabilities. Even in conditions of war, he noted, respecting their rights is an absolute obligation. Mustafai condemned the United States and Israel for flagrantly violating all principles of warfare, stating that they deliberately targeted the innocent children of Minab School, committing clear war crimes.
Mustafai hailed Iran as the only country that has defended Islam on every front. He proclaimed that by defeating America in the recent confrontation, Iran raised the banner of Islam and has become the champion of the Islamic Ummah. "Muslims worldwide see Iran as their hero, taking pride in its steadfastness and resistance, viewing the Islamic Republic as the symbol of dignity, courage, and resilience against global powers," he stated.
He underscored that the people of Pakistan understand this pain intimately, recalling the similar tragedy in Peshawar where enemies attacked a school and martyred scores of children. He equated this with the enemy's assault on Minab School, which also targeted innocent children.
"America and Israel are Terrorist States"
Khalil, representing the Jamaat-e-Islami party, minced no words in labeling America and Israel as terrorist states. He insisted that Muslims must safeguard their unity and cohesion while distancing themselves from these enemies of Islam.
He emphasized that the only path to confronting the challenges of the Islamic world is the reinforcement of unity, synergy, and convergence among Muslim nations, warning that any division or discord ultimately serves the interests of Islam's enemies. Khalil called on Muslim nations to adopt a unified and decisive stance against global oppression and injustice, preventing the trampling of the rights of oppressed peoples.
Iran's Defining Role and a Stain on History
Jameel Qureshi, Director of the Forces Academy Rawalpindi, lauded the Iranian Cultural Center's crucial and influential role in consolidating the brotherly and neighborly ties between Iran and Pakistan. He noted that such programs fortify cultural interactions and expand the friendly relations between the two nations.
Declaring that America and Israel have etched a permanent stain of disgrace on their faces in world history by martyring innocent Iranian children, Qureshi asserted that Iran's role stands exceptionally prominent. He stated that the Islamic Republic stood firm against global hegemonic powers and "hurled their illegitimate demands into the dustbin of history," proving to the world that no power can withstand the power of faith.
The Director concluded by branding the attack on Minab School as one of America's greatest war crimes since the atomic bombings of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, a stain of infamy that will forever remain on the face of the United States.
