Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said Israel and Saudi Arabia are in cahoots against Iran, which has played a positive role in promoting regional security.
“The Zionist regime and Saudi Arabia have linked up in their enmity toward Iran. In regional and international issues, they are making moves against the Islamic Republic,” he said on Thursday, Press TV reported
Tel Aviv and Riyadh, Larijani said, are seeking to provoke the US against Iran, but this situation has led to a break in the belief that always viewed Iran as the cause of trouble, because “everybody is seeing how America is making mischief.”
“The hostility of the Saudis toward Iran was covert in the past, but they are now openly engaged in enmity against Iran,” he said, adding that the kingdom was provoking terrorist currents in the region and counter-revolutionaries against Tehran.
As for Israel, he said, “The Zionist regime is seeking to support al-Nusra Front after disillusionment with Daesh [an Arabic acronym for the self-styled Islamic State], because they are worried about the activities of Iran and the axis of resistance, which are detrimental” to Israel.
