Addressing the opening session of the ninth meeting of the Islamic Inter-Parliamentary Union (IIPU) in Tehran on Tuesday, Rouhani said the Islamic world is currently under international pressure and threats.

He warned that the ‘multifaceted’ threats will in the long run affect all Muslims unless they deal with it promptly.

He noted that Iran has proposed a resolution on a global confrontation with violence and extremism, which has been approved in the United Nations General Assembly.

The Iranian president also referred to the plight of the Syrian people under crisis as well as the Israeli aggression against Palestinians, noting that the Muslim world needs unity and solidarity to tackle these challenges.

Rouhani further said that the Zionist regime of Israel benefits more than anyone else from the current crises in the Muslim world.
