Srinagar: Former Chief Minister and National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Sunday expressed disappointment over Muslim countries’ silence on US strikes against Iran and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Iran.
Abdullah warned that if the Muslim world doesn’t wake up, they might face similar consequences.
“I am disappointed that the Muslim world is silent. Today, Iran is in this condition, but tomorrow, it will be them who will be destroyed by the US. If they won’t wake up today, they must wait for their turn,” Abdullah said.
He further said that he believes Iran won’t abandon its ambitions despite attacks. Drawing parallels with the Karbala, the National Conference leader stated that Iran “won’t bow down”.
“If they think that Iran will abandon its ambition, they are mistaken. Iran remembers Karbala, and it thinks that it is the second Karbala. They will get their necks chopped off, but they won’t bow down,” Abdullah told a news agency.
“…They want a regime change there (in Iran) – will things be better after a regime change? America and Israel have a long-standing view that they won’t let Iran build a nuclear weapon, but if they think that Iran will abandon its ambition, they are mistaken.…”
