SRINAGAR (KIMS) — Mirwaiz Umar Farooq on Sunday expressed deep sorrow and outrage over the killing of Iran supreme leader Ayatollah Syed Ali Khamenei by the United States and Israel and said the development has shaken the Muslim world.

In a post on X, the Mirwaiz said the people of Jammu and Kashmir collectively condemn this brutality and the ongoing aggression against Iran. He also condemned the massacre of innocent girl students in Minab.
