Secretary General of the Islamic Awakening World Forum in an announcement stated "While world arrogance has laid a previously engineered, intricate, and dangerous plan to burn Muslims in flames of disintegration, pursuing its illusive dream of stirring war between the Shiite and Sunni, the Quds-occupying regime has tapped into Muslim ignorance, killing women and children in a destructive, unfair war in the month of God’s feast, rendering genocide and suppressing the resistance so that in the atmosphere created thereof, it may be able to gain its desired objectives.”
"It is required of Muslims worldwide to avoid being caught up in the pre-arranged game of the enemy, to keep vigilant, and through the right discretion of the realities and regional developments, as well as integrity and unity, to make the Zionist enemy’s plans sterile more than ever,” the announcement by Ali Akbar Velayati reads.
It further adds "Let the Zionist regime know that its hollow power will not be the deciding power in this battle, but it will rather be the crusaders, the women and children on the forefront who, through their blood and their bravery, will be the winner in this battlefield for God so promises.”
