Saudi Arabia Has No Belief in Fighting Terrorists: Iranian MP
Chairman of the Iranian Parliament’s National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi underlined Saturday that Saudi Arabia does not seek to fight terrorists but rather supports them.
“Saudi Arabia has no belief in fighting terrorists but has (instead) supported them,” Boroujerdi said, addressing a core group meeting of the Munich Security Conference (MSC) underway in Tehran.
Elsewhere in his remarks, he referred to aerial bombardments of terrorist-infested areas in Syria by Russian aircraft, saying they have been effective both psychologically and militarily and that grounds have been prepared for liberating the terrorist-held areas.
The senior Iranian lawmaker said new developments are expected in Syria in the future, noting that the situation in the Arab country has already improved.
Boroujerdi further emphasized that Iran only has “advisory presence” in Syria and that it would consider any new request from the Syrian government.
High-ranking diplomats have gathered in Tehran to attend the core group meeting of the MSC, which focuses on the implementation of the July 14 nuclear deal between Iran and world powers, Iran’s regional role, the security architecture in the Middle East.
