Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani underlined the Israeli regime's fundamental role in the escalation of the recent crisis in the region, particularly in Syria and Iraq, and said terrorists and Zionists are the two sides of the same coin.

"The Zionist regime is benefiting the most from the movements of the extremist and Takfiri groups in the region and it has intensified its aggressive moves against the oppressed people of Palestine and destruction of Islamic sites in the holy Al-Quds by taking advantage of the movements of these terrorist groups," Larijani said in a meeting with a group of Kuwaiti university professors in Tehran on Sunday.

Larijani, meantime, pointed to the role of parliamentary cooperation between Iran and Kuwait in the broadening of mutual cooperation in other areas, and said, "Close cooperation between the two parliaments can help expand relations in political, economic and cultural areas."

The Kuwaiti university professors also pointed to the status quo of Iran-Kuwait ties, and said, "The Kuwaiti government and nation deem as very important the expansion of friendly ties with Iran."

Iran and Kuwait have sought to expand bilateral ties through exchanging several high-ranking delegations in the last few years.

Last month, Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei slammed the West, specially the US, for creating the Takfiri terrorists, and said that the main objective of the ISIL is to create rifts among Muslim sects.

"The Takfiri groups are spreading atrocities in the West Asian region in a bid to sow discord among Muslims," the Supreme Leader said.

He noted that the enemy is pursuing to provide the Zionist regime with safety through igniting war among Muslims.

Ayatollah Khamenei reiterated that unity among Muslims, the issue of Palestine and making a clear-cut distinction between the notion of pure Islam of the Prophet Mohammad and the American-style Islam are among the most important issues facing the present Muslim world.

In July, the Supreme Leader called on Muslims across the world to set aside their differences, and use all their means to help the Palestinian people.
