With the spirit of reconciliation emerging amongst Muslim countries, coupled with the growing open hostility against Islam and its sanctities in some European states, the elusive goal of the Ummah’s solidarity is becoming a reality.

Iran, which since the triumph of the Islamic Revolution in 1979, has considered Islamic unity as its principled goal, spares no efforts to confront the devilry of the US in creating political, ethnic, and sectarian differences in the Muslim world.

If not for Tehran’s support for the oppressed peoples of Palestine and Lebanon as well as for the territorial integrity and national sovereignty of Syria and Iraq, the Zionists and their macabrely murderous Takfiri agents would have succeeded in their dream of ‘Greater Israel’.

This US-Israeli plot was also fully evident in Yemen, where Saudi Arabia was duped into launching a destructive war until the reality dawned 8 years later in Riyadh of the futility of confronting the popular Ansarullah Movement which as part of the Axis of Resistance plays a prominent role in countering not just Zionist-American designs in the region but promotes Islamic unity against the European bid to desecrate the Holy Qur’an and fan flames of Islamophobia.

The resumption of Tehran-Riyadh diplomatic relations was a major step in the spirit of reconciliation that soon saw Syria’s triumphant return to the Arab League and the re-opening of embassies of several Arab states in Damascus, much to the frustration of Washington.

Now reports are rife of Turkey coming to its senses and its eagerness to build bridges with Syria, which has made it clear that Ankara should withdraw its forces from the border areas. This matter is likely to be resolved despite the satanic US refusal to withdraw its occupation troops from parts of Syria and its stealing of Syrian oil.

Meanwhile, Egypt, through the mediation of Iraq, is sending feelers to Iran for resumption of diplomatic ties – a move welcomed by the Islamic Republic in the interest of the solidarity of the Ummah.

Iraq, which has a popularly elected government, has now offered its services for reconciliation in unnecessarily divided Yemen between the national government in Sana’a and the secessionists in the south, where Israel is trying to set up bases through the UAE which has unwittingly allowed the Zionists to intrude into the region.

In his press conference in Baghdad, Foreign Minister Fouad Hussein told an official of the Aden-based South Yemen breakaway regime, Ahmed bin Mubarak: “Iraq is ready to help in this matter. We have good relations with all parties. We can use our influence for stability and security in Yemen, and we can act on a regional level.”

Let us hope, Yemen will safeguard its unity and through talks between the various Yemeni tribes and political parties, strengthen the national government in Sana’a, which has made it clear that the ports in the south that are currently under control of the UAE and Saudi Arabia should be evacuated and returned to direct Yemeni control.
