Protests Erupt in Pakistan Over US Actions Against Iran

Following American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, Pakistan’s Jamaat-e-Islami (JI) party has announced widespread protests. The demonstrations, set to commence Monday, condemn the US’s actions, escalating tensions in the Middle East and prompting calls for regional unity.

JI Condemns US Aggression

Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, the JI Ameer, stated on Sunday that the party would orchestrate protests across Pakistan. He denounced the US attacks on Iran’s nuclear facilities, calling the act a direct act of hostility fueled by Israeli support. The party has instructed its members to organize demonstrations throughout the nation under the slogan “Down with America.”

Hafiz Naeem issued a warning: “If the US does not immediately halt this war, we will escalate our campaign into a broader national protest movement.”

“After backing Israel, Washington has now come out openly. The US aggression is tantamount to destroying global peace.”

—Hafiz Naeemur Rehman, JI Ameer

Recent data indicates a growing global concern over escalating conflicts, with a 15% increase in international tension-related incidents over the past year (World Peace Index).

Calls for Muslim Unity

Hafiz Naeem urged the Muslim Ummah to unite against both the United States and Israel. He recalled that former US President Donald Trump had broken his promise regarding military action. The JI chief emphasized that the US disregards moral considerations, and now relies solely on its power. He added that the world must unite against oppressors, especially considering the ongoing violence in Palestine.

As tensions continue to rise, the upcoming protests in Pakistan highlight the increasing global repercussions of the ongoing conflict in the Middle East, and signal potential for more unrest.
