Mohammad Ghori Shah #What Iran has done so far against Israel is heroic, on the other hand, the behavior of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey is cowardly. The current time is very important and dangerous. If Muslim countries cannot unite at this time, they will be humiliated by Israel and America one after another.
