From India Today:
Probably peeved at the India's first ever prime-ministerial visit to Israel, Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has raked up the Kashmir issue for the second time in two weeks. This time Khamenei has called Iran's judiciary to take up international issues to speak for Muslims of Myanmar and Kashmir.
According to Iran's news agency IRNA, while speaking to the officials of Iran's judiciary, Khamenei asked the country's judiciary to "enter international issues such as the sanctions, US confiscations of property, terrorism, the support for oppressed personalities like Sheikh Ibrahim Zakzaky (Nigerian Shiite leader) or Muslims of Myanmar and Kashmir, and to express its firm support or opposition in order to be reflected globally."
Just ten days ago, while leading the Eid al-Fitr prayers in Tehran, repeating his oft-quoted line of "Kashmir being an oppressed nation," Khamenei had exhorted the Muslim world to openly support "Yemen, Bahrain and Kashmir". He had called on the Islamic community to unite against the "injuries being inflicted on the world of Islam."
Kashmiris welcomed the statement and some even tried to parse it to see if Khamenei was officially calling for "jihad."
