FNA- Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani said that the US and Israel are sowing discord among the Muslim groups and countries by sponsoring terrorists and extremists in the region.

"One of the Zionist regime's policies to weaken the Islamic Ummah is continued crises and spread of the terrorist groups, and the Islamic countries' correct understanding and vigilance can help end these crises," Larijani said in a meeting with a high-ranking Tunisian parliamentary delegation, headed by Mubaraka al-Brahimi, in Tehran on Sunday.

Noting that creation of rifts among different islamic faiths and denominations is a main pillar of the US and Israeli policies, he cautioned that the mainstream media in the West also aims to strengthen the terrorist groups in the region.

"All major Shiite and Sunni denominations are opposed to the terrorist acts but a minority group like the Wahhabis, are after creating rift among the Muslim nations," Larijani said.

The Tunisian official, for her part, blasted Saudi Arabia's dastard attacks on the poor Yemeni people that have claimed the lives of over 12,000 of them so far.

She also lauded Iran for supporting the Syrian government and nation, and said, "The Islamic Republic of Iran is the only supporter of the Syrian people and government under the difficult conditions present now."

In relevant remarks in February, Larijani warned that the main goal of the Takfiri terrorists is widening gaps among (Sunni and Shiite) Muslims.

"Muslims' vigilance is needed foil the Takfiri terrorists' plots to widen rifts among Muslims," Larijani said, addressing a ceremony in the city of Qom.

He reiterated that the Takfiri terrorists enjoy the support of the western countries to carry out their plots against the Muslims.
