Iran using all power to confront terrorists in region: Velayati

(AhlulBayt News Agency) - Head of the Strategic Research Center of Iran's State Expediency Council Ali Akbar Velayati underlined that his country is using all its power and capabilities to fight against the terrorist groups which have disturbed security in the region.

"Iran has used all its power to confront the terrorists in the region," Velayati said in a meeting with the Norwegian deputy foreign minister in Tehran on Sunday.

Stressing that Iran will also stand against any enemy plots to disintegrate the regional states, he said, "We support Iraq's sovereignty as demanded by the country's people."

Velayati noted that Iran and Norway believe that political solutions are needed to settle the regional crises, and said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran attaches much value to relations with the European states, specially those which adopt more independent policies."

In relevant remarks on Saturday, Velayati underlined that his country has focused all its efforts on foiling plots to weaken and disintegrate the regional states.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran aims to prevent the regional countries' weakening and disintegration and it can play an important role in line with international peace and stability," Velayati said in a meeting with German Deputy Foreign Minister Markus Ederer in Tehran.

He underlined that Iran has always stood against enemy plots in the region and fought against terrorism to strengthen global peace and stability.

Velayati, meantime, voiced regret that certain countries aren’t interested in resolving regional problems and rather seek to further complicate them.
