The JKJAAC leader paid tribute not only to Khamenei’s leadership but also to all Iranians who lost their lives defending their nation. He emphasized that the Kashmiri people, belonging to a historically oppressed and marginalized community, stand in solidarity with their Iranian counterparts during this critical time.
“The bravery and determination shown by Iran’s Supreme Leader against American and Israeli aggression is commendable. On behalf of the Kashmiri people and our Committee, we pay our respects to him and to all those who have sacrificed their lives,” Sardar Nazir wrote.
The statement underlines the growing regional tensions and reflects the perspective of some Kashmiri leaders who view the struggle in Iran as interconnected with the broader challenges faced by oppressed communities.
