US, Israel Trying to Block Anti-Terror Campaign

TEHRAN (defapress)- Secretary of Iran's Supreme National Security Council (SNSC) Ali Shamkhani blasted the US officials for their unfounded allegations concerning the ongoing campaign against terrorism and extremism in the region, and said that Washington and Tel Aviv are doing their utmost to hinder the resistance front's removal of the terrorist groups.

"The US and the Zionist regime of Israel feel threatened by any balance shift in the region in favor of regional people and governments engaged in the fight against terrorism,” Shamkhani said in a meeting with Deputy Head of Hamas Political Bureau Saleh al-Arouri in Tehran on Saturday.

The SNSC secretary expressed the hope that Hamas would continue its revolutionary approach and battle against the Tel Aviv regime and said Takfiri groups and their allies have regretfully carried out inhumane and non-Islamic measures which have tarnished the image of Islam.

Shamkhani emphasized that any measure which would result in the Palestinian cause losing its status as the first priority of the Muslim world or promote reconciliation with the Israeli regime would be an unforgivable act of treachery against all Muslims.

He once again urged all Muslim countries to make use of their potential and defend the Palestinian resistance.

Al-Arouri, for his part, commended Iran’s important support for the Palestinian people and said Hamas leaders are determined to boost cooperation with Iran.

He condemned Takfiri groups’ acts of violence in the name of Islam and said such inhumane measures are aimed at serving the interests of the US, Israel and their allies.

A high-ranking Hamas delegation began a visit to Iran on Friday to inform Tehran about reconciliation efforts with rival Palestinian faction Fatah, a Hamas official said.

The group led by al-Arouri will meet senior Iranian officials over the next several days, the representative said on condition of anonymity.

The two Palestinians factions have agreed a landmark deal to end a decade-long split and are seeking to form a unity government along with other parties.
