BAGHDAD, Iraq —Seyyed Ammar Hakim, head of the Iraqi National Wisdom Movement, has condemned the betrayal of the Islamic Republic of Iran during recent negotiations, praising Tehran’s measured yet powerful response as one that captured the world’s attention.
Speaking at a public gathering, Hakim remarked:
“The Islamic Republic of Iran engaged sincerely in negotiations but was ultimately betrayed. Despite the shock, Iran responded in a manner that astonished the world — with strength, wisdom, and restraint.”
Hakim underscored the regional and international implications of recent events, highlighting the broader risks of destabilization and the urgency of upholding justice and diplomacy in addressing Iran’s nuclear file.
He also referenced the statement issued by Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Ali al-Sistani, Iraq’s most senior Shiite cleric, in which the attack on Iran was firmly condemned.
“Ayatollah Sistani described the incident as an act of aggression against the Islamic Republic,” Hakim said. “He rejected in the strongest terms the targeting of senior religious and political leaders and warned that such actions could lead to widespread chaos, endangering the interests of all.”
In his remarks, Hakim echoed Ayatollah Sistani’s call for a peaceful and just resolution to Iran’s nuclear issue, emphasizing that regional stability can only be secured through dialogue, respect for sovereignty, and commitment to international agreements.
The statement comes amid heightened tensions and renewed scrutiny of the international community’s role in the evolving regional crisis.
