A media outlet affiliated with the Taliban has described the recent regional developments and the Ramadan War as a historic opportunity for reshaping the diplomatic strategies of Islamic countries. The publication criticized the pro-Western policies of Arab nations, emphasizing that security and prosperity in the region can only be achieved through the complete withdrawal of the United States and a coalition of Islamic countries alongside Iran.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Critique of Western Dependence and Praise for Iran’s Stance<\/h2>\n

In an editorial, the media outlet Al-Marsad critiqued the diplomatic approaches of Arab and Islamic states. Highlighting the ongoing tensions in the region, it urged Islamic countries to abandon Western-oriented policies and align themselves with the Islamic Republic of Iran against the influence of the United States and Israel.<\/p>\n

Condition for Regional Security and Prosperity<\/h2>\n

The article further asserted that stability and economic growth in West Asia hinge on one fundamental condition: the complete end of Western influence, particularly the military and political presence of the United States in Islamic countries. Al-Marsad claimed that the presence of the U.S. is the primary obstacle to achieving lasting security and equitable distribution of wealth in the region.<\/p>\n

Call for Unity Ahead of Hajj<\/h2>\n

The media outlet noted the imminent arrival of Hajj pilgrims and urged countries in the region to leverage this spiritual and political opportunity to strengthen unity against the West. Al-Marsad emphasized that Islamic nations should harmonize their efforts with Iran to reclaim economic and political benefits that have been seized without cost by Western powers for decades. According to the publication, gaining control over the elements of power in contemporary global affairs, especially in economics and politics, can only be realized through the unity of the Islamic world and standing firm against international pressures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
