In the wake of the recent US-Israeli aggression against Iran — which included deadly strikes on civilian targets such as an elementary school in Minab and Gandhi Hospital in Tehran, resulting in the martyrdom of numerous schoolgirls, infants, and the Supreme Leader — intellectuals, researchers, and writers from across the Muslim world and beyond have voiced profound sorrow, sharp condemnation, and unwavering support for the Iranian people. Their statements blend religious reflection, moral outrage, and confidence in Iran’s ultimate victory, framing the attacks as crimes against humanity and signs of the moral collapse of the aggressors.
1. Palestinian Writer: Blood of Martyred Schoolgirls Will Curse the Aggressors
Dr. Mohammad Al-Bohaisi, a Palestinian writer and researcher, has strongly condemned the US-Israeli strikes on Iran, describing them as yet another chapter in the “long list of atrocities by the Zionist-American Jewish devil” against Muslims in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, and beyond.
In a deeply emotional statement opening with Quranic verses on patience and return to Allah, Dr. Al-Bohaisi expressed sorrow, anger, dignity, and submission to divine decree over the martyrdom of schoolgirls at the elementary school in Minab and the killing of infants and the unborn at Gandhi Hospital in Tehran.
He asserted that the “brazen aggression” aimed at forcing Iran into surrender is doomed to fail. “No matter the crimes the aggressors commit against Iran, with Allah’s help and its steadfastness on the path of truth, Iran will only grow stronger, more present, and more radiant,” he wrote. Dr. Al-Bohaisi added that the blood of the young girls, infants, and all martyrs will become a curse upon the killers and ultimately sweep away their arrogance, hastening the triumph of the oppressed.
He concluded with another Quranic verse: “And never think of those who have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.” (Quran 3:169)
2. Lebanese Writer in France: Aggression Represents Moral Collapse of the West
Nidal Hamadeh, a researcher, journalist, and Lebanese writer based in France, has described the US-Zionist aggression against Iran as “nothing less than the moral collapse of Western civilization and the downfall of humanity itself.”
In a poignant statement, Hamadeh drew a heartbreaking image of the tragedy: “In Minab that day, the promise of sunshine came not with notebooks and pencils, but with the angels of heaven. The same tragedy unfolded in Tehran, where its infants were martyred.”
He offered prayers for Iran’s martyrs, asked Almighty God to grant victory to Iran over the aggressors, and prayed for the protection of the “dear and steadfast” Iranian people.
3. Italian Publisher: Khamenei Died as a Martyr; the US and Its Allies Are Enemies of Humanity
Stefano Bonilauri, Director of Anteo Edizioni, has expressed deep sadness alongside the Iranian people and all believers over the martyrdom of Supreme Leader Sayyed Ali Khamenei.
Describing the Leader and his companions as having “died as martyrs for the love of God,” Bonilauri said they have become saints, entered Paradise, and will remain forever in memory. “The great righteous Ali Khamenei died heroically at his post, fighting against the servants of Iblis, driven mad by their impunity,” he wrote.
Bonilauri voiced confidence that “thousands of martyrs will avenge their deaths and restore justice.” He issued a stark warning against any illusions about the United States and its allies, calling them “enemies of humanity, demons of chaos and destruction.” He urged everyone to fight them, stating that “their next target is us, the entire rest of the world, whom they seek to enslave.”
