"We recommend that Mr Ahmed Abul Gheit... pays more attention to the unity among the Islamic world instead of pursuing the interest of the region's ill-wishers who seek to divide Islamic nations," the official IRNA news agency quoted a foreign ministry source as saying.
The unnamed Iranian official added that Abul Gheit should "think about guarding Egypts' rights and security which is often violated by the Zionist regime."
On Friday, the Qatari newspaper Al-Sharq quoted Abul Gheit as saying that "Iranian interventions in the internal affairs of the Gulf must not be allowed. We say to our brothers in Iran... Iraq must be left alone and Lebanon must be left alone. And Iran should not intrude in Bahrain in any way."
