Riyadh’s Support for Terrorism Root Cause of Chaos in Middle East: Iranian Spokesman

“Saudi Arabia has created chaos in the region through its organized support for Takfiri and terrorist groups,” Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said on Saturday.

He emphasized the need for Saudi Arabia to rectify its approaches for the sake of global peace and tranquility, and said Takfiri terrorism is undoubtedly rooted in the radical ideology of Wahhabism, which is practiced in the kingdom.

The Iranian spokesperson added that Saudi Arabia is regarded as the “cause of bloody crimes against Arab nations of Syria, Iraq and Yemen” while it has also “committed treason against Muslims, particularly the Arab world and the cause of the Palestinian people” by siding with the Israeli regime.

Qassemi said different reports by Western intelligence agencies have “repeatedly confirmed that there is a meaningful and organized connection between Saudi state bodies and Takfiri extremists across the world.”

He dismissed as blame game the recent anti-Iran allegations made by Prince Salman, who is also the Saudi defense minister.

“Instead of such fruitless blame game [efforts], Saudi statesmen had better move to rectify their approach and attitude and think about the consequences of their destructive policies and measures,” Qassemi pointed out.

In an interview with the American magazine Foreign Affairs published on Thursday, Prince Salman, whose country is widely believed to be among major sponsor of terrorism, accused Iran of creating instability, encouraging terrorism and violating the sovereignty of other nations in the region.

He also called on Iran to change its outlook and behavior.

The remarks by the Saudi officials come as Riyadh has been engaged in a military campaign against its impoverish southern neighbor Yemen since March 2015. The Saudi war on Yemen has so far killed at least 11,400 Yemenis and taken a heavy toll on the country’s facilities and infrastructure.

Alaeddin Boroujerdi- Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah

“It’s a pity that some regional governments invite Zionist [Israeli] delegations and hold celebrations with them,” Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi said in a meeting with representatives of Palestinian groups, held in Beirut.

Stressing the need for concerted action against the Israeli regime, the lawmaker said if there is Muslim solidarity for liberating the occupied Palestinian territories, the Zionist regime of Israel will have no place in the region’s political geography.

His comments came after mounting criticism of Bahrain for hosting a Zionist delegation in Manama in December 2016, Tasnim reported.

According to pro-Israeli Elder of Ziyon website, the delegation also visited Dubai, Oman, Qatar and Kuwait.

Boroujerdi, Hezbollah Secretary General Discuss Regional Developments

The Iranian parliamentarian also met and held talks with Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, the secretary general of the Lebanese resistance movement, Hezbollah, on the latest political developments in the Middle East.

Boroujerdi was received by the Hezbollah chief in the Lebanese capital of Beirut on Saturday, Press TV reported.

Boroujerdi is in Beirut at the head of a parliamentary delegation to hold talks with senior Lebanese officials.

On December 28, Lebanon’s national unity government headed by Prime Minister Saad Hariri won a vote of confidence in parliament.

The new cabinet was announced on December 18, less than two months after the country’s parliament elected Michel Aoun, a Christian leader and strong ally of Hezbollah, as president. Aoun’s election ended a 29-month-long political stalemate in the country.

Before visiting Lebanon, the Iranian parliamentary delegation paid a visit to Syria, where they held talks with senior officials of the Arab country, including President Bashar al-Assad, Foreign Minister Walid al-Muallem and Parliament Speaker Hadiya Khalaf Abbas.

Laft Port

Even though Iran’s central city of Yazd is most often thought of as the city of badgir (wind-catchers) – an ancient Persian architectural structure used to create natural ventilation – a glance at the panoramic skyline of Laft historical port is proof of a rivalry.

The port village known for its ancient wharf, which dates back to the Achaemenid era. Few abanbar (ancient water reservoirs) also exist and are still used by locals today.

This fishing town, which has a population of around 4,500, is also home to the Talla Wells, which store clean water and were created by cutting holes into layers of stone.

Though in the past the number of wells was equal to the number of days in a leap year, it has dwindled to less than 100, each one with a unique name.

Here are IRNA’s photos of the ancient port:

Rajabali Khosroabadi, the Director General of Cultural Heritage, Handicrafts and Tourism Organization of Tehran, announced that the tickets of Tehran tours will be rewarded to citizens who donate books to the library of “Deh-e Kheir” [literally the Village of Good], a village near Rey County, Tehran.

“The plan of ‘Tehran tours for book donation’ is to be continued with excursions to monuments of Tehran and its counties,” he added, mentioning that such a sustainable program will contribute to conservation of historic monuments and hills of Tehran province in the long-term.

In the day of excursion, the participants should take the books with them to donate to the village’s library after visiting the monuments of Rey, he noted, according to a Farsi report by ILNA.

“Book donation is a good way to attract people to social activities. By promoting reading culture, we will stabilize the culture of tourism and protection of cultural heritage within the society.”

He went on to say that today cultural progress is the main criterion for designation of developed cities. Economic, political and social progress will follow cultural development.

“The UN Security Council should take a strategic role to handle the Syrian crisis and bring peace and safety to the region,” stressed Alireza Rahimi, an Iranian Parliament member.

According to a Farsi report by ICANA, he went on to say that while ceasefires should be arranged based on long-term, strategic perspectives, some regional rulers plan ceasefires for their unilateral interests.

“As the opposing forces don’t act cohesively, Turkey can’t guarantee that the opposition won’t violate the ceasefire in Syria,” he noted, referring to the guarantee given by Turkey for the ceasefire in Syria.

“Turkey, on the other hand, has taken no definitive approach to Syrian crisis,” he added.

“The peace negotiations are very difficult to conduct, because major world powers, as well as opposing forces, seek opposing interests in Syria.”

He believes that Syrian truce failed due to a lack of cohesion among Takfiris [extremists] and the opposition.

“Every time they come to the negotiating table to reach just a relative agreement on ceasefire, and then violate it,” he added.

Rouhani

On Saturday, Rouhani issued a congratulatory message addressed at Nana Akufo-Addo, felicitating him on winning Ghana’s presidential race.

Stressing his country’s willingness to have close friendship and ties with Ghana, the Iranian president expressed the hope that Tehran-Accra’s bilateral ties would further enhance in all areas under Akufo-Addo.

Akufo-Addo will be sworn in on Saturday after beating incumbent leader John Dramani Mahama in elections last month.

The 72-year-old former human rights lawyer will take the oath of office at a ceremony in Independence Square in central Accra before more than 6,000 guests and members of the public.

Ghana’s elections, which were held on December 7, came in the wake of a weak economy. The country was unhappy with the ruling party. Seven out of 10 Ghanaians believed that the country was headed in the wrong direction, according to the Ghana Center for Democratic Development.
