Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei issues a written message to Gulf rulers urging them to confront what he calls the “real enemy,” according to reports. The message is released for “Islamic Unity Week,” a period marked by regional religious and diplomatic outreach.
Both outlets note that Khamenei has been largely absent from public view since being injured about six months earlier in airstrikes described as U.S.-Israeli. While the reports focus on the wording of the message and its call for unified action, they do not provide detailed evidence of specific policies or immediate steps taken by Gulf governments in response. The emphasis varies in framing—one outlet highlights Khamenei’s absence and injury history, while the other connects the message to the stated purpose of Islamic Unity Week.
