Let us now address recent developments, most notably the defeat of the Israeli enemy and its partners in their aggression against Iran. It is evident that the Israeli enemy, with American backing, had undertaken large-scale preparations for the assault on Iran. In fact, these preparations lasted a year or more due to the highly ambitious nature of the objective they pursued.

The most dangerous aspect of this aggression is the Israeli enemy’s attempt to eliminate the Islamic Republic of Iran in order to clear its path to regional domination. We addressed this point in our previous speech.

Regarding the position of Muslims in the Arab world and beyond, the most perceptive and advanced position came from Pakistan, although other Islamic states, including Arab states, issued condemnations. This is in comparison with other countries; as for the position of our own country, it is, of course, one of support and active participation. But when compared with other countries, Pakistan’s position stood out: It recognised the enemy’s aims, spoke out clearly, and acted with strength and courage. The Turkish position that followed was also clear, explicit, and conscious of what the enemies aim and plan for and their true ambitions and objectives.

The scale of the Israeli enemy’s defeat—alongside that of the Americans and its Western backers—becomes evident when comparing their goals with what they ultimately got. Perhaps the clearest expression of their highest ambitions came from the infidel Trump: He demanded unconditional surrender. He stated outright that Iran should submit completely. This illustrates the grand scope of their aggression and ambitions. Yet in the end, it was they who halted their assault unconditionally. No conditions were imposed on Iran’s nuclear programme or concerning any other issue such as its Islamic position in supporting the Palestinian people and other matters they consider fundamental problems in their conflict with the Islamic Republic.

The Israeli enemy’s military defeat is clear: It failed to achieve its objectives, particularly the destruction it sought to inflict in Iran. While there was some damage and a few losses, these were limited compared to what the Israeli enemy had aspired to achieve.

The Israeli enemy was unable to protect itself from the Iranian missile attacks and suffered extremely heavy losses. The relentless barrages and waves of missiles that rained down on it day and night became an extremely terrifying nightmare that plunged it into a state it had never experienced before. The Jewish Zionists found themselves, throughout the duration of the Israeli aggression, in an unfamiliar and alarming situation—marked by fear, panic, and a constant scramble to shelters. As even acknowledged by some of them, they experienced conditions similar to those the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip endure: bombardment, destruction, and explosions. Yet this shared experience ends there, as Muslims adhere to far higher moral and humanitarian standards in warfare than those of their enemies.

The Israeli enemy’s defeat is a significant one; it is a victory for the Islamic Republic of Iran, its leadership, the Revolutionary Guard, the Islamic system, and the Iranian people. It is also a victory for all Muslims, for the Arabs, and for the Palestinian cause. This can be truly appreciated when we consider what the Israeli enemy, backed by the Americans, would have done if it had succeeded in achieving its goals. Imagine what would have happened if Iran had surrendered, as they demanded, or if they had overthrown the Islamic system, seized control of the situation, or imposed their dictates and conditions on Iran! All of these scenarios are, in reality, utterly impossible—completely unworkable. But had they succeeded, the repercussions across the region would have been enormous. This is because the core objective behind their aggression against Iran is precisely to 'change the Middle East'. They are open about this. The criminal Netanyahu himself speaks about it, as do the other Zionist criminals. They keep talking about changing the Middle East. What this truly means is that they intend to move on to other regimes and nations across the region. That is why this issue is so crucial.

During the Israeli aggression against the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC)—the world’s second-largest international body—held a meeting. As usual, it issued a statement, and speeches were delivered. Official Muslim organisations have largely become platforms for issuing declarations and giving speeches. Despite its name, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation lacks what it most claims: cooperation. What is missing in our Ummah? It is cooperation. Most of these states did not even support the Palestinian people, and they still do not come together on shared causes.

Nevertheless, it is a great blessing and a victory from Allah (Glory be to Him) that the Israeli enemy has suffered such a defeat, despite its arrogance, aggression, hatred, its vast capabilities, and the backing it receives from America and other Western regimes.
