Rafsanjani criticizes US one-sided policy towards Iraq

IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Tehran, May 18, IRNA -- Chairman of the Expediency Council Akbar 
Hashemi Rafsanjani here Monday said one-sided policy adopted by 
Washington regarding Palestinian and Iraqi issues has resulted in lack
of confidence of the World of Islam, particularly the Iraqi people, 
towards the US officials. 
In a meeting with the Head of Kuwaiti Judicial Council Abdallah 
Ali al-Alessi, he stressed that the enemies are attempting to sow 
discord among different Iraqi religious sects and tribes. 
Rafsanjani urged the Iraqi ulema and officials to help establish 
unity and solidarity among the Iraqi people. 
On Tehran-Kuwait growing ties, he said exchange of visits between 
the two countries` senior officials will lead to further expansion of 
all-out ties between the two states. 
For his part, the Kuwaiti official referred to the Islamic 
Republic as an important country in the region which plays a key role 
in regional developments. 
Conveying the oral message of Kuwaiti prime minister to 
Rafsanjani, al-Alessi said his country is seriously determined to 
promote ties with its friend country, Iran. 
The Islamic Republic plays a crucial role in establishment of 
regional peace and tranquility, he added. 
The Kuwaiti judicial official, heading a delegation, arrived in 
Tehran Saturday.
