Friday prayer leader of Tazeh Yab in Iran’s Province of Northern Khorasan, Haj Abdullah Akhound Khosh Nazar, in his weekly sermon called Saudi Arabia an aggressive country whose invasion of Yemen is not different from the attacks by the Zionist regime against Gaza or those of the US against other countries.
Akhound Khosh Nazar stressed the importance of unity among Muslim nations and said, "If Islamic states intend to stand against the intrigues of the Zionist regime and arrogant powers then they have to be united because if Muslims are divided then an objective of the enemies is fulfilled."
He warned against dispersion of Muslims as a strategy of the enemies and noted that," Enemies of Islam try to wage sectarian rift among Muslims so that they prevent the advancement of the Muslims and break the chain of solidarity among them while Muslims will never let their objective to realize."
Furthermore, he noted that the honor of the Muslims is dependent upon their solidarity and said," If Muslims wish to restore their honor and power, then they have to boost their unity."
A Saudi-led coalition backed by the United States began carrying out airstrikes against Yemen since late March.
The US-led Saudi military aggression has been attacking Yemen since March 26 - without a UN mandate.
UN estimates say that over 2,600, mostly civilians, have been killed and another 9,755 wounded as a result of the ongoing attacks on Yemen.
The US-led Saudi military aggression began in an attempt to weaken the Houthi Ansarullah movement and bring the fugitive former Yemeni president, Abd Rabbuh Mansour Hadi, who is a close ally of Saudi Arabia, back to power.
