Iran Urges Concerted Regional Action against Israel
TEHRAN (Tasnim) – Describing the Zionist regime as the outcome of a project masterminded by the hegemony with the purpose of weakening, plundering and disintegrating the regional nations, Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian called for joint efforts and unified action against the common enemy.
In a meeting with Iraqi Minister of Interior Abdul Amir Al-Shammari in Tehran on Monday, Pezeshkian referred to the destructive role of the Zionist regime in disrupting peace and security in the region, stating that this regime is a project of the hegemonic system aimed at weakening, occupying, and plundering the resources of countries and fragmenting the region.
He urged that Iran and Iraq must stand united against such a common enemy, support one another, and avoid division.
The president further described the relations between the two neighboring countries as brotherly and based on deep religious and cultural ties, his official website reported.
“We consider the government and people of Iraq and other Islamic countries as our brothers and will continue our efforts to strengthen unity, cohesion, and brotherhood among the Islamic community,” he added.
Pezeshkian praised the hospitality of the Iraqi government and people towards Iranian pilgrims during the Arbaeen pilgrimage.
He expressed hope that the coordination between the two countries to facilitate the Arbaeen ceremony would become a turning point for cooperation in the other areas, including activating border markets, joint investments, and academic exchanges.
The Iraqi minister, for his part, conveyed warm greetings from Prime Minister of Iraq Mohammed Shia' al-Sudani to President Pezeshkian and congratulated the resistance of the Iranian people against the Zionist enemy.
He elaborated on the Iraqi government's efforts to provide the necessary facilities for hosting millions of pilgrims during the Arbaeen pilgrimage, particularly in the areas of transportation, healthcare, and security.
Al-Shammari stated that the Iraqi government is utilizing all its capacities to hold this religious ceremony magnificently, and these actions and coordination will continue until the last pilgrim leaves the Arab country.
