While the US tries to isolate Iran, Israel's attacks on Lebanon are strengthening ties across the Islamic world.
Saudi King Malik Abdullah called Mohammad Reza Nouri Shahroudi (advisor to Iran's Expediency Council for International Affairs) 'an asset for Iran and the world of Islam' and praised the progress the two countries have made strengthening their ties during previous Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) meetings.
Abdullah also called for vigilance in thwarting the 'secret hands' that 'intend to sow discord among Muslims and agitate religious disputes and tribalism.'
"Shahroudi, who handed over Rafsanjani's written message to King Abdullah, stressed the importance of more consultation on issues of world of Islam between the two countries and called for expansion of mutual friendly ties in all fields."
He added, "The Islamic Republic of Iran calls for an immediate ceasefire and an end to the Zionist regime's attacks on the defenseless Palestinian and Lebanese people."
