IRNA -- Expediency Council Chairman Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani stressed Sunday the need to reinforce solidarity among the Iranian and Syrian nations against increasing US pressures. Rafsanjani made the remark during a meeting with the newly appointed Syrian Ambassador to Tehran Hamed Hassan. He pointed to the two sides' friendly and consolidated ties and called for further consultations between Iranian and Syrian officials in order to harmonize stances on sensitive regional issues.

"US threats and enmity against Tehran and Damascus are indications of the two sides' common goals," he said, adding that "undoubtedly, no foreign power has the capacity to counter such goals due to the two nations' firm determination to defend justice and to seek justice."
| "No one — no one — can stop us! 'Cuz we have turbans!" |
Pointing to the Zionist regime's atrocities against the defenseless Palestinian people, the EC head said that the moves are in support of the US government. "The US seeks to suppress regional countries and push forward the Zionist regime's goals encouraged by their military victory in Iraq," he said. "Other US plots were foiled as a result of the Iraqi people's resistance against the occupation," he added.
