Tehran advises Aboul Gheit to mind violation of Egypt’s rights by Israel
TEHRAN, Nov. 28 (MNA) -- An informed source at the Iranian Foreign Ministry advised the Egyptian foreign minister to abandon pursuing the interests of ill-wishers in the region and instead take care of his country’s rights which are being repeatedly violated by the Zionist regime of Israel.
On Friday, the Qatari newspaper Al-Sharq quoted Egyptian Foreign Minister Abul Gheit as saying that "Iranian interventions in the internal affairs of the (Persian) Gulf must not be allowed. We say to our brothers in Iran... Iraq must be left alone and Lebanon must be left alone. And Iran should not intrude in Bahrain in any way."
“I advise Mr. Aboul Gheit, that instead of pursuing the interest of ill-wishers and their colonial plots to sow discord among Islamic states, to pay more attention to the unity of the Islamic world and to guard Egypt’s security and rights in its periphery which are repeatedly being violated by the Zionist regime,” he said.
The Iranian official said the Egyptian foreign minister’s remarks were intended to divert attention from the violation of the Egyptian people’s basic rights.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, added the Persian Gulf states are powerful enough to take care of their security and interests and it is only the Persian Gulf countries which are qualified to comment on regional issues.
Tehran-Cairo ties have been severed since 1980 following the Islamic Revolution in Iran and Egypt's recognition of Israel. The two countries have since only maintained interest sections in each other's capitals.
