TEHRAN -- Zahedan Friday prayer leader, Mulavi Ahmad Naruei, commenting on the possible U.S. military reaction to the attacks in that country, said that fighting against terrorism should not be violent and aggressive.

He added that if the United States wants to confront Afghanistan in the form of war, this war would not be limited to Afghanistan, but under the same pretext it will attack Iraq and then any other country. In this way, he added, the regional security and stability would certainly be harmed.

He remarked that based on Iran's stance, fight against terrorism should be in a legal way and presence of U.S. forces in the region is not justifiable.

Naruei said that the presence of Taleban in Afghanistan stems from the indecisiveness of Afghans themselves and the main reason behind such indecisiveness is the interference of foreign countries in Afghanistan.

He remarked, "I believe that Afghanistan issue will not be solved until foreign countries interference in that country would be stopped. The only solution is to leave the country to its nation."

Also, Saravan Friday prayer leader, Mulavi Abdulsamad Sadati, said that history indicates that presence of foreign powers in the region has been of no use, but it has created political, economic and security problems.

He added, "We condemn recent incidents in U.S., since terror is denounced everywhere, but reaction to terror or terrorists with any means and occupying the region are as an insult to people's independence.

Meanwhile, a senior cleric has warned that Muslims will not stand still should any Muslim country come under attack and rejected a possible U.S. attack against Afghanistan, a pan-Arab satellite television reported on Monday.

Al-Jazeera in its account of a statement by Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi said: "The Islamic world will not stand still regarding an attack on a Muslim country."

"Makarem Shirazi rejected the expected U.S. attack against Afghanistan under the excuse of fighting the so-called international terrorism," Jazeera said in its report, referring to the possibility of a military strike on the country where prime suspect in the attacks, Osama Bin Laden, is living as a guest of the ruling Taleban.
