A senior Iranian official has called from Tehran for the formation of an Islamic army to win the war against Israel.
Mohsen Rezaee, a member of the Aptitude Assessment Council and a senior military officer in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, called on Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and other countries to join Iran in creating this army, at a time when tensions and attacks continue in the troubled Middle East region.
"We want to form an Islamic army with Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Pakistan and some other countries. Currently, some believe that we should act more energetically, but the important point is that the war must be managed and fortunately, this war is being managed now," he told Iranian media on Sunday.
The IRGC military officer stated that "everyone is managing this battle intelligently, and this management should ultimately lead to the decisive victory of the Iranian nation . "
"Pakistan has assured us that if Israel uses a nuclear bomb against Iran, they will attack Israel with a nuclear bomb," he added.
On June 14, speaking in the national assembly, Pakistan's defense minister, Khawaja Asif, called on Muslim nations to launch a united initiative against Israel.
"Israel has targeted Iran, Yemen and Palestine. If Muslim nations do not unite now, each will face the same fate," Assif asserted.
He called on Muslim countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel to sever those ties immediately and called on the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to meet and develop a joint strategy in response.
On Friday, Israel carried out a series of coordinated airstrikes on multiple sites across Iran, targeting military and nuclear facilities. In response, Tehran launched retaliatory strikes, sparking a wave of sustained attacks and counterattacks between the two sides.
Israeli officials reported at least 13 deaths and more than 370 injuries from Iranian missile strikes. On the other hand, Iran's Health Ministry said at least 128 people have been killed and nearly 900 injured since the Israeli attacks began. (A2 Televizion)
