AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Iran’s Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian has underlined that enemies attempt to sow discord among Islamic nations particularly in Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Lebanon, and so on.
Addressing the audience at the 36th International Islamic Unity Conference in a meeting at the Institute for Political and International Studies in the Iranian capital Tehran on Friday night, Amirabdollahian referred to the guidelines of Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei, saying that the United States has tried to create discord between followers of two main Islamic sects of Shia and Sunni during years of occupation of Iraq.
We witnessed weird and unprecedented incidents of creating discord among Shias and Sunnis after 2003 when the US initiated incursion into Iraq, the top diplomat noted.
In recent weeks, foreigners have also attempted to misuse an internal affair in Iran in order to pursue their meddlesome policies, he said, adding that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi had a phone call with the father of the Iranian girl Mahsa Amini and vowed an immediate investigation into her death.
Who can believe that the death of an Iranian girl is so important for Westerners when they paid no attention to the death of thousands of people in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and Lebanon? Amirabdollahian asked, noting that they wanted to kick off a sectarian war in Iran.
However, he said, parts of the demands of the Iranian protestors are peaceful and the government will answer precisely, but we see weapons in certain protests, which have been imported from other countries; there are no such arms inside the country.
Elsewhere in his remarks, Amirabdollahian pointed to numerous reminders for the Islamic ummah, including the Islamic Unity Week and International Quds Day.
The Islamic Republic of Iran boasts about the fact that it has been capable of keeping on support for the resistance movement in Palestine and Lebanon.
Prior to Amirabdollahian’s speech, some foreign scholars referred to the Islamic Republic of Iran’s efforts to promote unity and solidarity among the Muslim nations as well as enhancement of vigilance especially when it comes to standing against plots hatched by the enemies.
The 36th International Islamic Unity Conference was held in Tehran from October 9 to 14.
After the conclusion of the 36th Islamic Unity Conference, the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution received the participants of the event in Tehran on Friday.
