Mojtaba Khamenei, identified as Iran's Supreme Leader, released a written message via Telegram urging Gulf rulers to recognize their real enemy and pursue Muslim unity, cooperation, and mutual defense. The message coincided with the birthday of Islam's Prophet Muhammad and Islamic Unity Week. It follows US-Israeli airstrikes six months earlier that killed previous Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and initiated the Iran war, after which Mojtaba Khamenei has not appeared publicly.
