Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyyed Ali Khamenei saysindependent states must tighten their ranks to thwartplots by hegemonic powers.
The Leader made the remarks in a meetingwith visiting Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama in the capital Tehran.Iranian President Hassan Rouhani also joined the Sunday meeting.
Domineering powers oppose warm relations between Iran and Africa and are also the major source of wars, conflicts, and supplies for terrorist groups, the Leader asserted.
The cure for all of these problems, however, rests in the gravitation of independent countries toward each other and the enhancement of their cooperation.
Terrorist groups in our region and Africa are the protgs of American, British, and Zionist spy services, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader also raised the question of how the terrorists in Syria were provided with the massive volumes of advanced weaponry and cash that they have been employing against the Arab country.
The root of all problems is arrogant powers, most importantly the United States, and the Zionist regime is also the epitome of evil, Ayatollah Khamenei said.
The Leader reaffirmed the Islamic Republics unflinching stance of supporting peace in Syria and noted that the Arab country cannot be prescribed solutions from the outside.
Mahama hailed the Leaders remarks as encouragement toward the creation of a peaceful world and said, Irans foreign policy is truly based on respect for [other] nations rights to determine their fate.
