Iran backing nations fighting terrorism: Rouhani

President Hassan Rouhani has said Iran backs nations who stand and resist against terrorism.
Pointing out that Islamic world today needs to follow Prophet Mohammad’s tradition more than ever, Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani said the Islamic Republic of Iran supports everyone fighting against terrorism and extremism.

Addressing the authorities, officials and ambassadors from Muslim countries at 28th International Islamic Unity Conference held in Iran, President Rouhani felicitated Muslims on the occasion of birth anniversary of the Holy Prophet of Islam (PBUH) and Imam Ja’far Sadiq (AS), sixth Imam of the Shia Muslims, and reaffirmed the Islamic world today needed more than ever the Prophet‘s tradition, kindness, mercy, forgiveness and the rule of law and unity.

“Those who unjustly follow homicide, violence and extremism in the name of religion and Islamic Jihad, they inevitably cultivate Islamophobia in the world,” Rouhani reiterated.

Noting that violence or terrorism, either in the region or in Europe and US, is doomed, President Rouhani expressed satisfaction with Muslim nation’s uprising against extremism and terrorism and gaining new victories every day.
