DUBAI: Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei appealed to Muslim states with political ties with Israel to at least cut them for “a limited time”, state media reported on Sunday, weeks after he called for an Islamic oil and food embargo on Israel.

“Some Islamic governments have condemned Israeli crimes in assemblies while some have not. This is unacceptable,” Khamenei said before reiterating that the main task of Islamic governments should be to cut off Israel from energy and goods.

“Islamic governments should at least cut off political ties to Israel for a limited time,” Khamenei added.

Iran says attack on Israel is Palestinian ‘self-defence’

During a joint summit between members of the Organisation for Islamic Cooperation and the Arab League in Saudi Arabia’s capital on Nov. 11, Muslim states did not agree to impose wide-ranging sanctions on Israel, as requested by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi.

Khamenei made his latest comments while attending an exhibition showcasing the “latest achievements” of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Aerospace Force, including the Fattah 2, a new version of what is said to be Iran’s first hypersonic missile.

Iran unveiled what it said was its first domestically made hypersonic ballistic missile in June, and said it could bypass the most advanced anti-ballistic missile systems of the United States and Israel.

Ayatollah Khamenei is clearly being charitable when he appeals to allegedly "Islamic" governments to impose an "Islamic" embargo of oil and food on Israel. Under strict ISLAM this, of course, would be totally impossible as Israel is a horribly illegitimate entity foisted by neo-imperial powers on a then and still badly divided Muslim world that remains unworthy of any formal recognition. And furthermore on matters of FOOD, if not also oil, an embargo on any people could never be imposed as it goes against the very fundamental values of Islam. But when addressed, as intended by Khamenei, to the crop of merely ridiculous Muslim states assembled under the "Oh I See" and Arab League rubrics it makes some sense, as these are mostly helmed by incorrigible lackeys of the West merely acting out their so called Islamic histrionics to mainly befool their own peoples back home. Islamic Iran, though as yet imperfect itself, is, of course, a total misfit in such hypocritical assemblies !
