All India Milli Council Condemns ‘Cowardly’ U.S.-Israeli Attack on Iran

New Delhi: In a dramatic escalation of tensions in the Middle East, Iran has confirmed the death of its Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, following joint military strikes by the United States and Israel—an event that has sent shockwaves through the Muslim world and drawn fierce condemnation from Indian Muslim organizations.

The All India Milli Council has issued a powerful statement denouncing what it terms “cowardly attacks” on Iran during the sacred month of Ramadan, expressing profound grief over the loss of one of the most influential figures in contemporary Islamic leadership.

‘Irreparable Loss’ for Muslim World

The council, in an official statement released from its central office, described the death of Ayatollah Khamenei as a “great tragedy” and an “irreparable loss” for the entire Muslim community. The timing of the strikes during Ramadan—a month of prayer, reflection, and fasting—has added particular outrage to the condemnation.

Sulaiman Khan, Assistant General Secretary of the All India Milli Council, expressed the organization’s deep sorrow and solidarity with the people of Iran during this moment of national mourning.

“We stand in equal share of grief with the Iranian people and the bereaved family in this moment of sorrow,” Khan said. “May Allah grant the departed soul forgiveness and place him in the highest ranks of paradise. We pray that the Muslim world demonstrates unity and patience in this difficult time.”

‘Blatant Violation of International Law’

The council strongly criticized the military action, characterizing the strikes on a sovereign nation during a holy period as a serious breach of international norms and human rights principles.

“The All India Milli Council considers these attacks on Iran’s sovereignty as a blatant violation of international law and human rights,” Khan stated. “Bombing a free nation and its worshippers during the blessed month of Ramadan poses a grave threat to global peace.”

The organization specifically condemned what it described as the “criminal silence” of the United Nations and world powers, warning that such inaction emboldens further aggression. The council expressed concern that the “stubbornness of the Zionist entity is pushing the region toward a major war.”

A Leader’s Legacy

The council’s statement paid tribute to Ayatollah Khamenei’s decades of leadership, highlighting his unwavering stance against colonial powers and his support for oppressed peoples across the world.

“Ayatollah Ali Khamenei held high the flag of resistance against colonial powers and supported the oppressed throughout his life,” the statement read. “With his martyrdom, the Muslim Ummah has lost a wise and fearless leader.”

The reference to Khamenei as a “martyr” reflects the deep reverence in which he was held by millions of Muslims who viewed his leadership as a bulwark against Western intervention in the region.

Appeal for International Action

Beyond expressing grief and condemnation, the All India Milli Council issued an urgent appeal to all justice-loving governments and organizations worldwide to intervene in the escalating crisis.

The council called upon the international community to “play an effective role in extinguishing this fire spreading across the Middle East and to hold the aggressor forces accountable.”

The statement reflects growing anxiety among Indian Muslims about the widening conflict and its potential to destabilize the entire region, with possible repercussions reaching far beyond the Middle East.

Context of the Crisis

The death of Ayatollah Khamenei marks one of the most significant developments in recent Middle Eastern history. As Supreme Leader of Iran since 1989, he wielded ultimate authority over the country’s political, military, and religious affairs. His passing in such circumstances has created a power vacuum at a moment of extreme regional tension.

The strikes during Ramadan have particularly resonated across the Muslim world, where attacks during holy periods are viewed with special gravity. The council’s condemnation reflects widespread sentiment that the timing and nature of the action show disregard for Islamic sanctities.

Unity in Mourning

The All India Milli Council’s statement concluded with a call for Muslim unity during this period of grief and uncertainty. By emphasizing shared sorrow and the need for collective patience, the organization seeks to channel emotional responses toward constructive solidarity rather than division.

As news of the Supreme Leader’s death continues to reverberate across the globe, the council’s voice joins a growing chorus of Muslim organizations expressing both mourning for the departed leader and alarm at the escalating conflict that claimed his life.
