Shia, Sunni unity "a fundamental principle of Islamic Revolution"

TEHRAN, Jul. 26 (MNA) President Rouhani said Sunni and Shia unity is among the fundamental principles of political thought of the Islamic Revolution noting that sectarian thoughts are plotted by enemies.


Speaking during a meeting of Supreme Council of Cultural Revolution on Tuesday, Rouhani said Sunni and Shia unity is among the fundamental principles of political thought of the Islamic Revolution, adding divisions made in recent years by killing and violence in the name of Islam, have been plotted by the enemies and in line with the implementation of key conspiracy of Islamophobia.

Pointing to the anniversary of Iran's acceptance of UN Resolution 598 and Mersad Operation, President Rouhani said the 1 month gap between Imam Khomeinis brave decision to accept the Resolution 598 and the cease-fire to end the war is of enormous significance to the Islamic Revolution.He underlined that Imam Khomeinis decision was a right one at that point of time and needs to be appreciated as victory for the Iranian nation.

Rouhani added that unlike the naive notion of the enemy, the acceptance of the Resolution to end the war by Imam Khomeini was not from a position of weakness, but power.

The flow of people towards the fronts, the presence of senior officials among combatants and the coordination between military forces after the adoption of the resolution, ruined the plots by enemies and treacherous hypocrites, he noted.

Rouhani said that the end of war was associated with honor and authority, adding while we had accepted the cease-fire, Baathist enemy with hypocrite mercenary agents and an illusion of victory increased its attacks against Iran experiencing a humiliating defeat due to the sacrifice of Iranian warriors in south andwest borders."

If the enemy is trying to infringe on our sovereignty and national interests, it will receive a slap on the face due to the national unity, coordination and leadership of the armed forces, Rouhani underlined.
