Iran Not to Forget Saudi, UAE Mistake of Backing Israel, US: Larijani

TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani deplored the wrong policies of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) toward Iran and some other regional countries and said the Islamic Republic will not overlook the two Arab states’ support for Israel and the US.



Iran Not to Forget Saudi, UAE Mistake of Backing Israel, US: Larijani
Addressing the closing ceremony of the 32nd Islamic Unity Conference in Tehran on Monday night, Larijani pointed to the Syrian issue and said from the very beginning of the crisis, Iran, unlike some countries, had emphasized that the issue would be resolved through political agreements.
He further addressed the Saudis and Emiratis, saying that they made a mistake in the early years after the victory of the 1979 Islamic Revolution by standing against Iran and provoking Saddam Hussein to wage a war on the country.
“But then you (Saudis and Emiratis) said that you had made a mistake and we overlooked your fault but today, we are not going to forget your mistake of supporting the US and the Zionists,” Larijani said, adding, “We will respond to your behaviors.”
He further pointed to the US’ so-called “deal of the century” plot, saying that Washington seeks to help Israel dominate the Middle East by such a plot but Iran is determined to foil it.
The Islamic Unity Conference opened in Tehran on Saturday under the motto of “Quds, the Axis of Unity” with a speech delivered by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani.
About 350 foreign guests, including 10 ministers and 40 Muftis, participated in the three-day international event.

The conference is held annually on the occasion of the birth anniversary of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) in an effort to lay the ground for stronger unity and solidarity among Muslims and provide appropriate solutions for their problems.
