In the heart of North Africa, where the Arab Spring was born, Tunisia stands once again on the right side of history—condemning the brutal nuclear missile strike by the United States on Iran. A country that knows the cost of uprising, sacrifice, and civil resistance, Tunisia declares: “Iran’s people are not alone.”

1. A Republic Rooted in Revolution and Resistance

Tunisia, the cradle of the 2011 Arab Spring, understands what it means to demand dignity in the face of tyranny. Iranians, like Tunisians once did, are now fighting for liberty—and Tunisia, a fellow Muslim-majority republic, refuses to let their screams echo unanswered.

Tunisian protestors gathered in Habib Bourguiba Avenue, chanting “Kulluna Iran” (We are all Iran), calling the nuclear strike a “massacre disguised as foreign policy.”

2. Political and Civil Unanimity: Across Ideologies, One Voice

From leftist parties to Islamic coalitions, from student unions to women’s rights groups, Tunisians united in protest, waving Iranian flags and placards that read “No to Nuclear Apartheid” and “Iran’s Blood is on America’s Hands.”

The Tunisian General Labour Union (UGTT), one of the most powerful civic bodies, issued a strong condemnation and called on the African Union and Arab League to suspend all cooperation with the U.S. unless reparations and accountability follow.

3. A Shared History with Iran: Diplomacy and Mutual Respect

Tunisia and Iran have maintained cordial diplomatic ties over decades—focused on education, cultural exchange, and political consultations within the Non-Aligned Movement.

Tunisia has often viewed Iran as a resistor against Western dominance, particularly within OIC meetings and multilateral Arab forums.

4. Faith and Humanity: The Religious Response

Tunisian scholars and imams in Kairouan, Sfax, and Tunis condemned the nuclear attack as “haram, inhumane, and apocalyptic.” Friday prayers across the country echoed with verses about divine justice and the rights of the oppressed.

Mosques raised funds for Iranian medical NGOs, and Qur’anic schools held du’as for the martyrs of Iran.

5. Youth and Digital Resistance

Tunisian youth, many of whom participated in their own revolution, launched a cross-platform campaign: #TunisiaWithIran and #ArabSpringNeverDies, framing Iran’s protest movement as a continuation of the struggle for Arab dignity.

They also released a video montage showing protest footage from both Tunisia (2011) and Iran (2023–2025), highlighting visual and emotional parallels.

6. Official Diplomatic Position

The Tunisian Ministry of Foreign Affairs issued a strong-worded condemnation, labeling the nuclear strike “a crime against humanity.” The statement urged the UN General Assembly to convene an emergency session and demanded an international ban on tactical nuclear weapons.

Tunisia also requested a fact-finding mission to Iran under the UN Human Rights Council.

Conclusion

Tunisia does not forget its own road to freedom, and it will not ignore the Iranian people walking that same dangerous path. When missiles silence voices, Tunisia speaks louder. When bombs fall, Tunisia raises prayers and protests.

To the people of Iran, Tunisia sends its heart, its history, and its revolution:

“You are not alone. You are not forgotten. Your resistance is sacred.”
