US fails to weaken Shia-Sunni unity

Iranian MP, Kazem Jalali

Tehran has condemned the assassination of a Shia cleric, calling it a futile attempt to shatter the unity among Iranian Shias and Sunnis.
The Majlis National Security and Foreign Policy Commission rapporteur Kazem Jalali said the US-led assassination has been aimed at creating discord among the Iranians.
"Islamic Republic of Iran has always been a victim of terrorist acts. Murdering innocent people in Iran, organized by the enemies, started after the Islamic Revolution," he said.
The MP added the enemies of Islam are seeking to sow the seeds of discord among Sunnis and Shias in Islamic countries and the world witnesses the evidence of such a conspiracy carried out by the occupying forces in Iraq.
Jalali added that the Muslims and Iranians should have the foresight if they are to foil the plots hatched by their enemies.
Mehdi Tavakkoli, a Shia cleric, was shot down by terrorists as he was delivering a sermon in the city of Khash in southeastern country on Tuesday night.
