Both presidents will get together on first April in London, on the eve of the G20 summit in London. Experts think that the meeting will melt the ice on the current relation between two countries.

Iran Urges World Muslim ‘resistance’ Against Israel

Iran is today’s one of the most powerful Muslim nation all over the world. Its nuclear power plant is also threatening for the developed countries. And the state always tries to mae a solution to the war between Palestine and Israel. According this Iran’s top leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei urged world Muslims on Wednesday to join the Palestinian “resistance” against Israel, but his call was dismissed by Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas. He said,

The only way to save Palestine is resistance. Support and help to Palestinians is a mandatory duty of all Muslims. I now tell all Muslim brothers and sisters to join forces and break the immunity of the Zionist criminals.

In addition, Iran’s top military commanding officer and the head of Iran’s revolutionary guards’ corps, Mohammad Ali Jafari, told the ISNA news agency that,

Today the Islamic republic has missiles with a range of more than 2,000 kilometres and. . .all the land of the Zionist regime, including its nuclear installations, is within our range.

But the call of Iranian was frankly dismissed by Abbas after he met US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, on her visit to the region since taking office. Mahmud Abbas said,

We are sending a message to the Iranians and others — stop interfering in our affairs. They are interfering only to deepen the rift between Palestinians.

Iran does not recognize Israel, and Khamenei has constantly rejected a two-state solution to solve the decades-old clash. Shiite Iran’s labors to undertake the matter have conventional cynical reaction from much of the Muslim world, particularly from the neighboring Sunni-ruled Arab states which are also cautious of Tehran’s nuclear program.

On the other hand we must seriously pursue punishing the Zionist criminals, so that by saving Palestine and the establishment of a popularly chosen government, the world gets rid of racism, lies and occupation forever.
