Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, who has close a personal relationship with Saudi officials, has called on Saudi Arabia and Iran to confront terrorism together despite their rivalry.
Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani, the former president and current chairman of the Expediency Council, has called for cooperation by regional rivals Iran and Saudi Arabia to counter the rise of terrorism.
“The actions of terrorist groups in the region occurred in the shadows of the differences between Islamic governments, which has weakened the Islamic world,” Rafsanjani said in a meeting with Iran’s ambassador to Saudi Arabia. The contents of the meeting were shared on Rafsanjani’s website.
