Iranian President Rouhani: It Is a Strategic Mistake for Islamic Countries to Cooperate with Israel

Iranian President Hassan Rouhani said in a November 14, 2019 address that aired on IRINN TV (Iran) that it is a strategic mistake for any Muslim country to view America or Israel as its friend and that it is unfortunate that some Muslim countries cooperate with Israel, particularly against the resistance movements in the region. He said that Iran and its people are at the forefront of the struggle against America and Israel. Adding that Iran is a friend to the people of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the UAE, Bahrain, Palestine, and any freedom-seeking struggle groups, Rouhani said: “Today is not the time for Shia-phobia, Sunni-phobia, Iran-phobia, or any-country-phobia… Our phobia today should be about the arrogance and Zionism.”
