Practicing ‘rationality’, sticking to the Muslim world’s ‘top priority’ will end ME crises
With Yemen being bombarded while Syria and Iraq are gripped by Takfiri militancy, the only approach that could result in a solution to the crises is dialogue based on “rationality,” an idea promoted at least by one of the key regional players, Iran.
“The Islamic Republic of Iran considers regional talks based on shunning prejudice and pursuing rationality as the sole political solution,” said Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister for Arab and African Affairs Hossein Amir-Abdollahian on Sunday.
In Syria where a shaky cessation of hostility is underway, terrorists are still enjoying “full support” as well as funding provided by regional players, he said, addressing a Lebanese delegation partaking in ceremonies marking the passing of Imam Khomeini, the founder of the Islamic Republic.
Their support demonstrates their “lack of commitment” to the ceasefire and the war on terrorism the Foreign Ministry official noted. “They offer no constructive approach to tackle the crisis.”
Amir-Abdollahian (pictured below) also hailed the Syrian nation and army for resisting terrorist groups’ plots “inspired by the Zionist regime” since the crisis began in 2011.
“Iran has always insisted that Syria’s fate should be determined by the people … and that there is no military solution to the crisis.”
He also slammed Saudi “crimes against the children” of Yemen, where “part of facts” resulting from the aggression is being revealed by the United Nations.
The Iranian official slammed “indiscriminate attacks” by Saudis as well as destruction of Yemen’s infrastructure.
UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric said Wednesday that some 10,000 of Yemeni children, all less than five years of age, have lost their lives during the past year alone.
More than 9,400 people have been killed and at least 16,000 others injured since Saudi Arabia launched its attacks on Yemen in March 2015.
Islamic world’s top priority
Amir-Abdollahian said the main issue today’s Islamic world is facing is the crackdown on Palestinians living under the Israeli occupation.
“The Palestinian issue must still remain the Islamic world’s top priority,” he said. “The security of the regional countries is an interconnected issue and the primary hub of insecurity in West Asia is… the Zionist regime.”
