Tehran, YJC. Ayatollah Hashemi has said that a comprehensive plan for the Islamic world which pivots around Iran and Saudi Arabia will solve regional problems.
In meeting
with the Speaker of the Parliament of Lebanon, Iran’s Head of Expediency
Discernment Council Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani stated that terror acts such
as the recent suicide bombing near Iran’s embassy in Beirut are devised by enemies
of Muslims and arise from political and religious prejudice.
He asserted
"Historical disagreements must not find way to social disintegration and grudge
lest they jeopardize the security of Muslims.”
In answer
to Nabih Berri’s request for him to arrange a meeting with the Saudi King, Hashemi
pointed to his trip of a few years ago to Saudi Arabia with the plan to discuss
King Abdullah into forming joint committees to cope with mutual concerns.
"It
is to regret that in the past years, extremists have driven most Islamic countries,
and the regional ones in particular, where most desired by colonizing,
monopolizing countries, preventing regional nations and states from
experiencing a vibe of Islamic unity,” Hashemi added.
He stated
"The issues of the Islamic world are solvable through a comprehensive plan
which pivots around Iran and Saudi Arabia.”
The Head of the Expediency Discernment Council
pointed to the Syrian crisis and its impact on Lebanon and said "The Islamic
Republic of Iran does not like interfering with the affairs of other countries,
knowing that the leaders of a country act according to their conditions.”
Nabih
Berri in turn pointed to the high regard paid to Ayatollah Hashemi in Islamic countries
and Saudi Arabia in particular and emphasized the roles of Iran and Saudi Arabia
among Islamic countries.
"The
Islamic world is waiting for Mr. Hashemi Rafsanjani to play his historic role in
bringing Muslims together once more,” Berri asserted.
