Sunni and Shia Muslim scholars of Iran meet to express unity and solidarity

Sunni and Shia Islamic scholars of Iranian Fars province gathered in Larestan today at a meeting with Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani who told them that if the Islamic Republic of Iran had not acted astutely against Daesh terrorist group, they would have further undermined the security of the entire region, let alone Iran.

The Islamic religious scholars of two sides demonstrated unity and vowed solidarity specially during Muharram that is the month of sacred mourn over historic martyrdoms of great martyrs of Islam in Karbala tragedy.
Highlighting the role of Iran in the fight against terrorism, Larijani stated that economic development doesn’t occur in the atmosphere of insecurity. Having security has its costs and “we suppressed the enemy outside our borders,” he added.
Elsewhere, he touched upon the history of Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA) and the US animosity towards Iran, saying that the United States and Israeli regime have devised plots against the Islamic Republic by violating the agreement that they themselves had requested.
After US withdrawal from the deal, European countries asked Iran to not give a quick response and demanded some time, he said, adding that now the clock is ticking.
It is some 12 years that Iran is being posed with challenges regarding its peaceful nuclear program while the country has always pursued a clear strategy in this regard, he stressed.
Calling for increased unity among political and religious streams in Iran, Larijani said that Iranians will continue the path of the Islamic Revolution with political vigilance.
