RNA - In the Thursday messages to the defense ministers of Iraq, Republic of Azerbaijan, Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Turkey, Indonesia and Malaysia, General Hatami expressed the hope that the world’s Muslims would exercise vigilance, unity and rapport in the face of the plots hatched by the enemies of Islam, particularly in the delicate situation after the US government’s move to relocate its Israel embassy to the city of al-Quds (Jerusalem), which he described as sign of Washington’s practical and full support for the Zionist regime’s crimes against Palestinians.

Eid-al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the holiest month in the Islamic calendar.
