Former minister and central president of Pasban-e-Watan Pakistan, Muhammad Tahir Khokhar, has strongly condemned the alleged attack on Iran by the United States and Israel, claiming that Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei was martyred as a result, which is a clear violation of international law.
In a statement, the former minister described the alleged military action against Iran as a blatant violation of the United Nations charter. He warned that Israel will have to “pay the price” for this alleged martyrdom.
Expressing deep sorrow, Khokhar called the martyrdom of Ayatollah Khamenei an “irreparable loss” for the entire Muslim Ummah and a great tragedy for the Islamic world. He paid tribute to the Supreme Leader as a “dignified, principled, and courageous leader” who steadfastly guided his nation against global colonial and imperialist forces. He said, “Khamenei sacrificed his life but refused to bow down to the Yazids of our time, Israel and the United States.”
The President of Pasban-e-Watan stressed that this incident should be a warning for Muslim countries, which he criticized for having “handed over their security to the Jews and given military bases to America.” He accused the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) of “being asleep” while member states are being targeted one after another.
Khokhar blamed the United States, Israel, and India for undermining world peace, stating that unilateral actions and the undue use of force escalate tensions rather than resolving conflicts.
Describing the protection of non-combatants under international humanitarian law as a fundamental necessity, he alleged that hundreds of innocent female students were killed as a result of the Israeli attack. He held both Israel and the United States responsible for this bloodshed and accused them of destroying Muslim countries.
He also strongly criticized the United Nations, calling it a “powerless institution” with “double standards” and a “puppet in the hands of the US and Israel.” He questioned the inaction of the global body, asking, “Israel attacked Iran and martyred a leader, who is responsible for this? Have any sanctions been imposed on Israel?”
Concluding his remarks, Khokhar expressed solidarity with Iran on behalf of the Pakistani and Kashmiri people and issued a stern warning. He declared, “The oppression that America and Israel have inflicted on Iran and the fire they have started will not stop now; America and Israel will also burn in it.”
