Press Release
Western Military Bases in Muslim Lands Have Brought Nothing but Destruction and Devastation
(Translated)

The course of the war waged by America and the Jewish entity against Iran has proven that American, British, French, and other Western colonial military bases, as well as the so-called early warning and surveillance systems deployed in the region, have brought nothing but misery and destruction to Muslim lands. Muslims have reaped nothing but harm from them; indeed, these bases have often been the spark for wars imposed upon them, exposing their countries to attack and aggression.

These bases, which agents have long claimed were established to protect the country and enhance its security, have been proven false by events. They serve to protect the interests of the enemies and achieve their malicious goals, and the counties and their military capabilities have become burdened with defending them!

America and other Western countries, such as Britain and France, maintain these bases in Muslim lands to use them to attack whomever they please and to ignite conflicts wherever they wish in order to achieve their colonial ambitions and the expansionist goals of their protégé, the Jewish entity, and to subjugate Islamic countries, particularly the Middle East, to their greedy goals. They do not conceal this; rather, they openly declare it. For example, the American ambassador to the Jewish entity, Mike Huckabee, stated that “Israel” has a biblical right to the land stretching from the Nile to the Euphrates rivers. And their Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, did not hide his crusading hatred for Islam when he said: "Crazy regimes like Iran, hellbent on prophetic Islamist delusions, cannot have nuclear weapons"

America, which operates a wide network of military sites in at least 18 locations in the region, Britain, which has 23 bases, as well as France, which maintains several bases and operations centers, and other colonial countries, have violated the Muslim lands under the pretext of security agreements, alliances, and common interests, so that Muslim lands become a stage for their sinful military operations with which they strike us, and they take those bases and centers as a launching point for air and sea operations and gathering intelligence to protect their colonial interests and the Jewish entity.

Therefore, it is the duty upon the armies of the Muslim Ummah, as those entrusted with protecting the Muslim lands, to expel these bases from our lands immediately. For they are among the acts of treachery committed against us by our rulers, and in their simplest form, they constitute cooperation with an enemy whose allegiance or assistance Allah has forbidden. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said:

«فَإِنَّا لَا نَسْتَعِينُ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ» “We do not seek the help of polytheists against polytheists.” Moreover, they have given the disbelievers a means to harm us, which is also something that Allah (swt) has forbidden, as He (swt) says:

[وَلَن يَجْعَلَ اللّهُ لِلْكَافِرِينَ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ سَبِيلاً] “And Allah will never grant the disbelievers a way over the believers” [An-Nisa: 141].

The facts have become clear to everyone. All that remains are for the sincere people in the armies of the Muslim Ummah to move to rid it of the influence of colonialism and its agents, and to establish the second Khilafah Rashida (Rightly-Guided Caliphate) on the method of Prophethood, so that Islam and the Muslims may regain their glory.

[هَٰذَا بَلَاغٌ لِّلنَّاسِ وَلِيُنذَرُوا بِهِ]“This ˹Quran˺ is a ˹sufficient˺ message for humanity so that they may take it as a warning” [Ibrahim: 52]
