The Muslim Brotherhood – a major Middle Eastern political movement – pledged full support to Iran amid Israel's ongoing military strikes, framing the conflict as part of a broader Western-backed campaign to weaken regional resistance.
Acting Supreme Guide Salah Abdel-Haq urged Islamic factions to unite against Israel, portraying it as an existential threat to the entire Islamic world and emphasizing the need to overcome sectarian divides.
The Brotherhood's letter described Israel's actions as "a new phase of aggression," while Tehran and Hezbollah warned of catastrophic consequences if Iran's leadership is targeted or the U.S. intervenes militarily.
Iran denied targeting civilian sites (e.g., a hospital), claiming strikes hit military infrastructure, while Israel accused Ayatollah Khamenei of ordering attacks on civilians, calling for his removal.
The Brotherhood's alignment with Iran signals hardening alliances, with Hezbollah on standby and Iran's missile capabilities posing a direct threat to Israel. The U.S. remains undecided on military intervention, as tensions risk spiraling into a wider conflict.

As Israel's military strikes on Iran continue, the Muslim Brotherhood – one of the most influential political movements in the Middle East – has thrown its full support behind Tehran. Salah Abdel-Haq, the Brotherhood's acting Supreme Guide, reiterated the organization's support for the Islamic republic on Wednesday, June 18. In a letter to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, he framed Tel Aviv's offensive – backed by Western allies – as part of a broader campaign to weaken regional resistance forces. Abdel-Haq also urged disparate Islamic factions to unite against what it calls the "Zionist entity." The Brotherhood's message underscores a strategic shift in Middle Eastern alliances – positioning Israel's actions as an existential threat not just to Iran, but to the entire Islamic world. It also comes amid heightened fears of a wider conflict, with the Lebanon-based Hezbollah warning of "disastrous consequences" if Khamenei is assassinated and Iran vowing Israel's annihilation should the U.S. intervene militarily. Abdel-Haq described the conflict in his letter Wednesday as "a new phase of aggression against Palestine." The letter's release followed an Iranian missile hitting the Soroka hospital in Beersheba, located in Israel's south. Tehran denied targeting the hospital, claiming it struck a nearby military intelligence base. But Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz accused Khamenei of ordering attacks on civilians. "Such a man can no longer be allowed to exist," Katz declared, pertaining to the ayatollah. (Related: Israel reaps whirlwind of violence as Iranian retaliation strikes heart of Jewish state.)

The Muslim Brotherhood declares holy war

Historical tensions between Israel and Iran have long shaped regional dynamics, but the Brotherhood's call for unity marks a significant escalation. The group, banned in several Arab states for its Islamist agenda, has historically positioned itself as a champion of Palestinian resistance. Its appeal to overcome sectarian divides – a rare gesture toward Shia-majority Iran – reflects the gravity of the current crisis. The White House has yet to commit to military action, with White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stating that U.S. President Donald Trump will decide within two weeks whether to intervene, citing potential for near-term negotiations. Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu cautioned that "no one is immune" but stressed the need for measured rhetoric. The Brotherhood's letter, however, leaves little room for de-escalation – framing the conflict as a civilizational struggle. "Our primary weapon is the unity of the Islamic Ummah," Abdel-Haq wrote, urging Muslim nations to redirect their focus toward confronting Israel. As the region braces for further violence, the Brotherhood's alignment with Iran signals a hardening of fronts. With Hezbollah's arsenal on standby and Iran's ballistic missiles proving capable of piercing Israeli defenses, the stakes extend far beyond Gaza or Tehran.
