Muslim Brotherhood backs Iran, calls for Islamic unity against Israel
In a letter addressed to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, the acting head of the Muslim Brotherhood, Dr. Salah Abdel Haq, expressed full solidarity with Tehran in the wake of recent Israeli strikes. 'We reaffirm our full support for the Islamic Republic of Iran in the face of the brutal Israeli aggression,' he wrote in a post published on X, offering condolences for the 'martyred leaders, scholars, and innocent Iranian citizens.'
Dr. Abdel Haq described the Israeli attacks as a broader assault on the resistance axis in the region, saying they mark 'a new phase of aggression against Palestine,' driven by Tel Aviv's goal of weakening regional powers with the backing of the United States and other Western states.
Framing the confrontation as part of a shared struggle, he said, 'We are one nation, in the religious, spiritual, civilisational, and geopolitical senses alike.' He warned that Israel 'does not differentiate between our ethnicities or sects,' and urged unity across Islamic movements.
'Our primary weapon… is the unity of the Islamic Ummah,' he stated, calling on Muslim forces to overcome past divisions and redirect their focus toward confronting the 'Zionist entity.'
Citing the words of the Brotherhood's founder, Hassan al-Banna, Haq affirmed a vision of overcoming sectarianism: 'We strive to bring viewpoints closer together… no jurisprudential opinion or sectarian disagreement will separate us.'
