RNA- "The Zionist regime intends to create political crisis in the region and we should talk with the regional states and don’t allow them to become an instrument in the hands of the US and don’t allow their decisions to produce benefit for Israel and the US and therefore, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey's weight should be used to resolve the regional conditions," Larijani said in a meeting with Chairman of Pakistani Senate’s Committee on Defense Mushahid Hussain on the sidelines of the Asian Parliamentary Assembly conference in Istanbul on Wednesday.

"Today, countries like Yemen are suffering from basic problems and therefore, we should help to resolve problems politically because finally all problems in the region will benefit Israel," he added.

Hussain, for his part, underlined that Washington has weakened in the region, and said, "The US repeatedly wants to create problems for the regional states but it fails as Iran is a powerful country and the regional states know that the US cannot adopt an important measure in this regard."

He also urged further strengthening of ties among Iran, Pakistan and Turkey.

In relevant remarks in July, Top Military Aide to the Iranian Supreme Leader Major General Yahya Rahim Safavi warned that Saudi Arabia, the US and Israel are hatching new plots against the region after their mercenary terrorists sustained heavy defeats in Iraq and Syria.

“The ISIL is being defeated and actually, the ISIL defeat is the failure of the US, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Jordan, Qatar and the Zionists’ coalition in the region,” General Rahim Safavi said.

Noting that insecurities stirred by the US will possibly continue in Iraq even after the annihilation of the ISIL, he said, “After the failures of the US, Saudi Arabia and the Zionists in Iraq and Syria, a new plot may start in the Persian Gulf region by the same coalition.”
