Shia clerics rally behind Khamenei, urge India to back crisis-ridden Iran | Lucknow News - The Times of India

Prominent Islamic scholars and community leaders in Lucknow have expressed deep concern over the ongoing crisis in Iran, urging global powers to prioritize peace and dialogue. They called for the immediate lifting of Western sanctions, which they argue have severely damaged Iran's economy and fueled unrest. The clerics appealed to the Indian government to support Iran's current regime and not remain neutral, emphasizing Iran's historical ties with India and condemning foreign interference.

Leading figures such as Maulana Kalbe Jawwad and Maulana Yasoob Abbas accused Western nations and Israel of stoking instability, while dismissing reports of widespread chaos and casualties as media distortions. They highlighted continued religious travel between India and Iran, asserting that life remains normal in the country. The scholars also called on the United Nations to intervene and ensure a peaceful resolution, stressing that war is not a solution and that the right to protest should be respected within legal limits.
