Tehran, May 20, The Iran Project � Britain has always tried to make a conflict between Shia and Sunni, Ayatollah Sobhani, a senior Iranian cleric, says on Wednesday, Tasnim news agency reported.

Referring to Prophet Muhammad�s concern for the conflict among his Ummah, Grand Ayatollah Ja�far Sobhani said that to resolve the disputes between Sunnis and Shias, we should focus on the common points.

Also, grand Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi who had described the Saudi-led aggression on Yemen as a plot by hegemonic powers aimed at pitting Muslim people against each other, said that blatant genocide in this country shows the West and Saudi Arabia�s return to the barbarism and ignorance of prehistoric age.

Ayatollah Nasser Makarem Shirazi had previously criticized silence of international forums over Saudi Arabia�s military aggression against Yemen.

The United Nations (UN) says that, since March 19, over 1,800 people have been killed and 7,330 injured due to the conflict in Yemen.
