TEHRAN: Iran has proposed the formation of a bloc of Muslim countries to fight terrorism and boost economic cooperation that would include its regional rival Saudi Arabia.

Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani told a security conference on Sunday that the two countries, along with Turkey, Egypt, Iraq and Pakistan, should join hands to promote regional peace based on Islam, defending the Palestinian people, fighting terrorism and [boosting] economic interests.

Iran and Saudi Arabia are bitter rivals, and support opposite sides in the civil wars in Syria and Yemen. Saudi Arabia cut diplomatic ties with Iran in January after Iranian demonstrators stormed Saudi diplomatic facilities in protest against the execution of a prominent Saudi Shia cleric.

Larijani said Saudi Arabia and other nations should know that Iran is not their enemy. He said Iran was opposed to warmongering in Syria and Yemen and wanted to resolve regional conflicts through national solidarity governments resorting to democratic methods.

Iran is not after creating an empire and hegemony in the region, he said. Our viewpoint is aimed at improving unity.

یہ تجویز افغانستان اور عراق پر امریکی حملے سے پہلے آتی اور عمل بھی ہوتا تو بہتر تھا. ابھی بھی ذیاده دیر نہیں ہوئی پہلے مرحلے میں امریکا نامی اونٹ کو خطے سے نکالنا ہو گا

Re: Iranian speaker proposes Muslim bloc to combat terrorism

Iran and Saudi Arabia are engaged in proxy wars.They have become bitter rivals.Iran and Saudi Arabian rivalry is creating tensions in the region.This has become a sunni/shia struggle for dominance now.Iran should show maturity and stop arming shias in Saudi Arabia,Bahrain and Yemen.The Saudis and gulf states supplied money and arms to anti-Assad forces in Syria.This was a big mistake.Assad is a dictator but Saudi and gulf states are no democracies either.Turkey,Iran,Saudi Arabia,gulf states and Pakistan can form a bloc to eliminate terrorism.This bloc can also keep India out of middle east and Afghanistan.The muslims should be under no illusion ,India is their real enemy.

I think eventually this will happen once all the states loose steam they will have to pool resources. The same thing happened in europe and then became powerfull...

This should have happened in Mid East 30 years ago when 1st gulf war happened! For Muslims it always seems they need an example before to unite themselves
