The Muslim World League has strongly condemned Iran’s strikes on U.S. bases in Qatar, calling them a blatant violation of Islamic values. This rare rebuke underscores Iran’s deepening isolation within the Muslim world amid its war against the U.S. and Israel. No Islamic nation has come to Iran’s aid—militarily or diplomatically. Long criticized for its expansionist policies and use of proxies, Iran now finds itself increasingly abandoned as regional powers step back, signaling a collapse of strategic tolerance.

U.S. Vice President JD Vance has sparked global backlash by justifying President Trump’s strikes on Iran, declaring past leaders were “dumb” and lacked vision. “This war is justified,” Vance claimed, as Tehran reels from coordinated U.S.-Israel attacks. His remarks come amid widespread condemnation from China, Russia, and the Muslim world. Critics call the statement a green light for unprovoked warfare. With Tehran vowing retaliation, Vance’s blunt rhetoric adds fuel to an already volatile situation, while painting the U.S. escalation as necessary and “smart.”

Pakistan has denied claims that it would launch a nuclear strike on Israel if Iran were attacked. Defence Minister Khawaja Asif clarified that Pakistan’s nuclear capability is strictly for national defense—not for hegemonic agendas. This comes after Iranian official Mohsen Rezaei claimed Islamabad had promised nuclear retaliation on Iran’s behalf. While Pakistan maintains strategic ties with Iran and urges Muslim unity against Israel, it has clearly distanced itself from any nuclear involvement, warning the West of Israel’s unchecked nuclear might.
