On May 27, 2020, coinciding with “International Quds Day,” a provocative illustration surfaced on the website of Iran's Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei. Titled “We Will Pray in Jerusalem,” the artwork features a depiction of the al-Aqsa Mosque in Jerusalem, surrounded by prominent leaders and officials from the Iranian Shiite axis.
The illustration aims to symbolize solidarity with Palestinian causes and reflects Iran's longstanding political stance on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Among the figures represented in the artwork is Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, highlighting the ties between Iran and various leaders in Latin America. This visual representation has sparked discussions regarding the geopolitical alliances that exist between Iran and countries that share similar ideological perspectives.
The event of International Quds Day, established by Iran in 1979, serves as a platform for expressing opposition to Israeli policies and advocating for Palestinian rights. The illustration has drawn both support and criticism, underscoring the complex dynamics of regional politics and the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
