Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani urges a serious and organized fight against terrorism in the Middle East, through fostering unity and solidarity among all regional countries.

In a meeting with Lebanese Foreign Minister Gebran Bassil in Tehran on Sunday, the Iranian president described terrorism as a “tangible threat” to all regional nations.

“If all regional governments and countries and those powers which are really interested in fighting terrorism join hands and cooperate with each other, it will be possible to finish off this scourge,” Rouhani added.

Stressing that all regional countries are affected by common woes, namely the “illegitimate” Israeli regime, foreign intervention in the critical Middle East’s affairs and violence and terrorism, the Iranian president called on regional states to stand up to the problems to send clear messages to the enemies of the region.

Elsewhere in his remarks, the Iranian president also commended Lebanon’s resistance against the Israeli regime and said the Islamic Republic supports the Arab country’s solidarity, unity and territorial integrity.

Rouhani also reaffirmed Iran’s support for the anti-Israel resistance, saying the Islamic Republic will back those countries which are “at the forefront of fighting against the Zionist regime (Israel) and terrorism.”

The Lebanese foreign minister said many regional powers, including Iran, have the great potentiality which could be used to fight terrorism.

Bassil added that Israel and terrorists share interests, stressing, however, that the regime’s policy of bullying will fail to bring about victory for the regime in any kind of battle.

Lebanon is suffering from the spillover of threats posed by Takfiri militants who have infiltrated into the Arab country from neighboring Syria.

The foreign-sponsored conflict in Syria, which flared in March 2011, has claimed the lives of more than 250,000 people and left over one million injured, according to the United Nations.

Hezbollah resistance fighters have been helping the Syrian forces fighting against Takfiri militants on the Syrian soil near the border with Lebanon.
