Iran’s Former Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, Founder and President of PAIAB Institute, wrote on his personal X account in response to the recent defense pact in the region:
As I wrote a year ago in “‘Greater Israel’ and ‘Our Strong Region,'” the racist, expansionist policy of “Greater Israel” pursued by Zionists—even in recent public statements—underscores the urgent need for inclusive defense pacts among Islamic nations.
Zarif is referring to an article he wrote last year in Lebanon’s Al-Akhbar newspaper.
