Zarif: Foreign Ministry To Foil Islamphobia, Shiaphobia Plots

Qom, Nov 30, IRNA – Foreign Minister Mohammad-Javad Zarif said on Friday that his ministry is bent on foiling plots of Islamphobia and Shiiaphobia- the two intertwined goals aiming to harm Muslims and serve the arrogant powers’ wishes. Speaking to reporters on the sidelines of his meeting with Qom Seminary dignitaries, Zarif said his ministry would do all within its power to support rights of Muslims and thwart foreign propaganda in the international forums. Elsewhere in the interview, Zarif said Muslims are falsely named as violent, something being in contrast to the spirit of Islam and Iran would continue to focus its efforts to nullify the claims./end
