TEHRAN – Vice-President for Parliamentary Affairs Ahmad Musavi said on Tuesday that Muslim nations should resist U.S. threats through unity.

In a meeting with the new Sudanese ambassador to Iran, Abdullah Khezr Bashir, Musavi stated that serious efforts should be made to make use of the huge potential of Islamic countries.

The U.S. pursues a strategy of crisis-building in other countries in an attempt to threaten them, he said.

Pointing to the numerous commonalities between Iran and Sudan in various spheres, Musavi said that the Islamic Republic seeks to develop ties with all countries particularly with Islamic states.

He noted that the West opposes Iran’s peaceful use of nuclear energy because Iran is governed by Islam.

The Sudanese envoy, for his part, noted that the West is against countries that have raised the flag of Islam.

He noted that developing economic agreements between Iran and Sudan will lead to the expansion of bilateral ties.

The ambassador added that the Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir is willing to pay a visit to Iran in the near future.
