Iran will not stay silent if U.S. makes mischievous act: Iranian speaker

TEHRAN, Jan. 31 (MNA) – Iranian Majlis Speaker Ali Larijani said that if the United States makes a mischievous move and causes a problem in the region, the Islamic Republic will not stay calm. Larijani made the remarks during a meeting with Speaker of Indonesian People's Representative Council Marzuki Alie which was held on the sidelines of the 7th Session of the Parliamentary Union of the OIC Member States (PUIC) Conference in Palembang, Indonesia, on Monday. The U.S. is not satisfied with the developments occurring in the region and does not believe revolutions in the Islamic countries are in its own interests, thus it is seeking to make mischievous moves in the region, Larijani stated. He also expressed satisfaction with Indonesia’s presidency of the PUIC and said that parliamentary relations can cement ties among Islamic countries. During the meeting, Marzuki Alie said that any tension in the Middle East region should be resolved through peaceful means.
