EC-Rafsanjani-Syria
Visiting Expediency Council (EC) Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani said here Saturday evening that the Islamic Republic of Iran constitutes a major obstacle in the way of materialization of US and Zionist objectives in the region.
Addressing a group of Iranian students studying in various Syrian universities, he said the US and Zionist regime have forged extensive programs in Syria, Iraq, Lebanon and Afghanistan to promote their interests and are following these up.
Their requests and agenda are laid down in the Greater Middle East Plan, he added.
"Today the path to real confrontation has been laid out. We hope we can pass through this dangerous situation successfully with the help of the government's wise policies," Rafsanjani reiterated.
After Iranians have passed this situation successfully, they will be in a much better situation and will see notable development in their country, he noted.
Iran is in a very sensitive situation at present, he reiterated, and urged the government to fine tune its programs toward development for the country.
But he cautioned that the enemy would try to create obstacles toward realization of its development goals.
Rafsanjani, heading a delegation, arrived in Damascus on Wednesday to meet and confer with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.
On Sunday he will proceed to Kuwait, where he will meet with senior Kuwaiti officials on issues of mutual interest.
