President Essebsi made the remarks in a meeting with visiting Iranian Minister of Culture and Islamic Guidance Reza Salehi Amiri at the presidential Carthage Palace in Tunis.
“The Zionist regime [of Israel] is the Islamic Republic’s only enemy in the region. Therefore, we hope that all Muslim and Arab countries would stand by Iran,” Essebi said, adding, “Unfortunately, the Zionist regime and its sponsors were trying to isolate Iran, but, by God’s grace, the Islamic Republic succeeded to return to the political scene of the region.”
Since the victory of the Islamic Revolution under the wise leadership of Imam Khomeini in 1979, Tehran has invariably stood by the Palestinian people against Israeli regime.
Elsewhere in his remarks, the Tunisian president also hailed the Islamic Republic's sacrifices in the war against terrorists in Syria.
