Iran’s supreme leader Mojtaba Khamenei yesterday called on Muslim countries in the region to unite against the US and Israel, in a written message issued six months on from the start of the Middle East war.Khamenei, in power since shortly after his father Ali Khamenei was killed at the start of the war on February 28, has yet to be seen in public since his appointment, and authorities have not released any video or audio of him.”The solution to the problems of the Islamic nations is unity of words, friendship, and cooperation on the path of goodness,” he said Sunday as Shia Muslims marked the birthday of the Prophet Mohammed.”Anyone, in any position, who does anything that leads to division among Muslims and creates conflict in the Muslim community, knowingly or unknowingly, intentionally or unintentionally, has served the purpose of the enemies of Islam,” he added, according to his official website.The supreme leader called on the rulers of regional countries to “recognise your real enemy, understand its plan, and confront it”, referring to the US and Israel.During the war, Iran targeted US military bases across the Middle East including in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain.Relations with those nations have since soured.Khamenei, who has the final say on major state policies, also called on Iranian officials and citizens to put aside differences and come together against Israel and the US.”Again, this servant’s advice to the Iranian people is to not allow any differences to arise among themselves in any way,” he said, echoing remarks made in another statement on Friday.”I firmly declare that doing anything detrimental to social cohesion is prohibited,” he had said in Friday’s message.He also called Friday for the gradual de-dollarisation of the Iranian economy and for boosting economic production to support growth following months of a US naval blockade and years of crippling sanctions that have hit livelihoods.

About 85 Americans remain missing after a devastating flood swept through a remote region of the Himalayas, the State Department said.The US figure is just a small fraction of the more than 3,000 people that remain missing after the disaster.At least 797 people have been confirmed dead by authorities in Nepal and China after the wall of water, mud and debris tore through the region and overwhelmed entire villages early Wednesday.State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott told ABC talk show “This Week” that nine Americans have been evacuated and that he was unaware of any US nationals dying in the disaster.”The remoteness of this location makes getting reliable information difficult. But our dedication remains, our commitment remains,” Pigott said.The US and Canada said they would each provide $3.6mn in aide, while the UK has offered $6.8mn. The UN released $2.5mn in emergency funding.Part of the US funding will go towards road repairs and “mobilizing specialized transport options” to reach remote areas with food and other aid, Pigott said.The onslaught was prompted by a glacial collapse, the US Geological Survey said, with Chinese experts pointing to a “glacier on the southern slope of Lirung Peak in Nepal” that fractured.

US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Iran’s Larak island yesterday, a US official said, marking the first known American strikes on Iran since late July.”I can confirm that earlier today US forces struck two Iranian launchers on Larak Island. Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps forces were observed preparing to launch rockets with sea mines into Strait of Hormuz,” the US official said.Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said the attack killed and wounded several soldiers and citizens and would be met with a “response and punishment” from Tehran, Iranian state media reported.Iran’s semi-official Tasnim news agency reported the US carried out a drone strike on the island.US President Donald Trump said last week that all mines had been detonated or removed from the international waters of the Strait of Hormuz and Iran has been told that any ship or boat placing new mines will be destroyed.The last known US strikes on Iran were in late July as the war has reached a stalemate in recent weeks with Washington threatening to impose costly sanctions on countries that support Iran.
