Addressing a large and fervent congregation of the people in Tehran on Friday,
Ayatollah Emami Kashani said, "Creating differences among the nation is what the
enemies and Zionists are looking for."
"The enemies are forcefully heading towards us; we have to resist against the
enemy with all our means," he added.
In relevant remarks in late June, Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security
Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani blasted the US and its regional allies for fueling
insecurity and instability in the region, and said that the Muslim countries
should resist Washington's bullying.
"The US, the Zionist regime and certain regional countries have leading role
in major crises in the region," Shamkhani said in a meeting with National
Security Advisor to the Iraqi Prime Minister Faleh al-Fayad.
He underlined that some countries that think they can ensure their own security
and stability of the region by putting their trust in the United States are
practically bolstering terrorism, and said, "The White House leaders do not even
hesitate to shamelessly attack Iraqi and Syrian armed forces in order to support
terrorism."
Shamkhani reiterated that Iran has always stood by the Iraqi people.
"It is Tehran's unwavering stance to support the Iraqi nation's demands in line
with the war-ravaged country's development and progress, particularly after the
defeat of terrorism," he added.
