Iran rejects reports on Morocco's severing ties with Iran
IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency
Tehran, March 7, IRNA – Government spokesman Gholam-Hossein Elham rejected on Saturday some recent reports on severing of Morocco’s diplomatic ties with Iran.
Certain Western media reported on Friday that Morocco has cut off diplomatic relations with Iran accusing the latter of trying to spread Shia Islam in the Sunni Arab kingdom.
“There is no problem between Iran and the world of Islam due to the Islamic ideological issues,” Elham told reporters.
He stressed that those “unrealistic” issues have been raised in line with the policy of sowing discord among Muslim states.
“Such issues are raised by some who are against promotion of cordial relations among Muslim states which is a growing trend in the region and the whole world,” said the spokesman.
He added, “ill-wishers are to damage unity of the Islamic world by creating sectarian and factional disputes.”
Elham referred to those efforts as making “malicious intrigues” among members of the Islamic world.
Stressing that reports on cutting off of Rabat's diplomatic ties with Tehran “cannot be confirmed,” the spokesman added, “The government of Morocco is unlikely to take such positions.”
