'US, Israel hatching new plots for Middle East'

Senior advisor to the Iranian Parliament Speaker warned against new plots being hatched by Washington and the Tel Aviv regimes for the Middle East.

"The role of the United States and the Zionist regime in creating crises in Middle East is quite evident; the Zionists are after controlling the region," Hossein Amir Abdollahian said.

The senior advisor pointed to the resignation of Lebanese Prime Minister Sa'ad Hariri, and said, "During the last 6 years, simultaneous with the Islamic Awakening, an unholy alliance was forged between the United States, Israel and Saudi Arabia through which they resorted to various means, such as the Daesh terrorist group, in order to follow their fundamental purpose."

Amir Abdollahian reiterated that it is an insult to the Lebanese people to take their prime minister to another country and announce his resignation there; due to such an insulting conduct, nobody believes that Hezbollah and Lebanon were the causes for this resignation.

"The Zionists are after controlling the region, but their plots have failed. Their next plan is to disturb peace in the region. They will accept peace and security in the region only when Israel is in peace and other countries, even Saudi Arabia, are destroyed and fragmented,” he added.

In relevant remarks last Monday, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted Saudi Arabia for supporting the terrorist groups in the region, and said the Riyadh government's moves in the region have proven harmful for regional security and stability.
