Pakistan Parliament Condemns Israeli Assassination in Tehran and Offers Military Support to Iran as Protests Erupt
As the world waits anxiously for the Iranian response to Israel's assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chief Ismail Haniyeh while he was visiting Tehran last week, Iran is very quickly rallying the Muslim world to its side, as an emergency meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) is scheduled to convene in Saudi Arabia tomorrow (Wed. August 7th). The OIC represents 57 Islamic countries, and sees itself as the voice of the Muslim world. Unlike the smaller Arab League, it also includes influential non-Arab countries, including Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey. Pakistan has joined Iran in requesting the emergency meeting, and earlier today the Pakistani Parliament convened to condemn Israel's attack on Tehran. The Jerusalem Post and other Middle Eastern news agencies are reporting that Pakistan is offering to supply Iran with Shaheen-III medium-range ballistic missiles, which reportedly can carry nuclear warhead, which Pakistan possesses. What Israel has done by violating what Muslims see as a violation of International Law on the sovereignty of Iran, not to mention the Muslim value of "hospitality" which requires that one protects a visiting guest at any cost once they come under your protection, has done more to rally the Muslim world than anything else probably ever could. It is uniting Sunni and Shia Muslim countries for what they believe is a moral and just cause, which is stopping the genocide of the Palestinian people, and punishing Israel and the U.S. for what they see as acts of savagery and barbarism by assassinating an unarmed, peaceful politician while visiting another country peacefully, as he attended the swearing-in ceremony of Iran's new President last week. Years of bitter fighting between Sunni and Shia countries has seen some progress in the past year as China has reached out to these countries in an effort to end conflicts between them, and many now are also members of BRICS. But what Israel did in their assassinations of key Muslim leaders this past week, did far more to unite the Muslim world than any diplomacy could ever accomplish. The Zionist extremists in Israel are leading the U.S. into a war it will never be able win, especially with Russia now also sharing intelligence, and possibly weapons, with Iran also.
