Muslim States’ Unity Defuses Israeli Plots

(FNA)- Iranian Parliament Speaker called for the vigilance of the Islamic Ummah against enemies' plots, and said unity of the Muslim states will prevent Israel from achieving its mischievous goals in the region.

"The US and the Zionist regime take advantage from the minor differences among the Muslim states; hence the plots of the enemies of Islam should be foild through constant consultations among senior officials of the Muslim states," Larijani said in a meeting with his Kuwaiti counterpart Marzooq Al Ghanim in Istanbul on Tuesday night.

The Iranian parliament speaker pointed to the status quo in the Iran-Kuwait relations, and said, "Iran is interested in the expansion of economic and political ties with Kuwait."

Larijani, meantime, pointed to the sharp decline in oil prices, and said, "The oil prices will remain low unless the leading oil producers take a serious decision to increase the crude prices."

The Iranian parliament speaker noted that Iran is planning to cut its dependence on crude revenues in its budget and only use its oil earnings for investment purposes.

The Kuwaiti parliament speaker, for his part, voiced pleasure in meeting Larijani, and said, "Meeting you has always been positive and it can pave the way for broadening mutual cooperation."

In relevant remarks on Tuesday, Larijani underlined that the Zionist regime's footstep is seen in every terrorist act in the region, and called for a united world front against Israel.

"The Zionist regime's role is well evident in the terror attacks in the region, specially in the terrorist operations in Syria and Iraq, and a global unity is needed to annihilate the regime," Larijani said in the Northwestern city of Ardebil before leaving Iran for Turkey to participate in the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) meeting of the OIC.

He said given the dangers posed to the different regional states and the Islamic Republic of Iran's pivotal role in the region and in soothing crises, the IPU meeting will try to make good decisions to increase unity among the Muslim countries against the arrogant powers.
