Leader's Top Aide:
Iran to Continue Supporting Muslim Nations
TEHRAN (defapress)- Iranian Supreme Leader's top aide for international affairs Ali Akbar Velayati underlined Iran's influential role in the region, and said that Tehran will keep on supporting the oppressed Muslim nations in the region.
"Iran has no intention to abandon the oppressed nations in the region…Our presence in Iraq, Syria, Palestine, and Lebanon is in coordination and with the consent of these countries’ governments; also, if we are helping Yemen, this is our humanitarian responsibility,” Velayati said on Friday.
"Our regional presence is an inevitable issue, and we continue this process to remain the region’s most determining element,” he added.
Iran has played a crucial part in the region’s fight against terrorism by providing military advisory support to the neighboring Iraq and Syria. The Islamic Republic has also been a stalwart supporter of the Palestinian struggles against the Israeli occupation.
