On Friday, Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali Sistani the Shia Marja’ called out Israel’s airstrikes on Iran as a dangerous act of aggression and urged the international community to intervene and prevent further escalation.
In a statement released by his office, al-Sistani described the strikes as a “criminal assault” that killed military personnel, scientists, and civilians, including women and children, and damaged several scientific and academic facilities.
“This action highlights the threat posed by the Israeli regime and its aggressive conduct,” the statement warned, calling on global powers to restrain Israel and its supporters.
Senior IRGC commanders and nuclear scientists are reported to have been martyred in the large-scale Israeli strikes that targeted Tehran and multiple provinces across the country.
