Below is the text of the statement:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The military aggression against Iranian territory has been ongoing for several days, and so far it has resulted in the martyrdom of a large number of citizens, including many heroes defending their country, dozens of children, and other innocent civilians. Additionally, there have been significant losses in public and private property. As expected, the scope of counter-military operations has expanded to include several other countries, where many of their regions and facilities have been harmed and damaged, in strange scenes that the region has not witnessed in a long time.
Making an individual decision, separate from the United Nations Security Council, to launch a comprehensive war against another UN member state to impose certain conditions on it or to overthrow its political system—besides being a violation of international charters—is a very dangerous move that portends extremely severe consequences at both the regional and international levels. It is also expected to cause widespread chaos and disturbances for a long time, bringing calamities to the peoples of the region and affecting the interests of others as well.
From here, the supreme religious authority, while condemning this unjust war in the strongest terms and calling on all Muslims and the free people of the world to denounce it and stand in solidarity with the oppressed Iranian people, reiterates its appeal to all active international parties and countries of the world, especially Islamic countries, to exert their utmost efforts to stop it immediately and find a just and peaceful solution to the Iranian nuclear issue in accordance with international law.
