He said that Iran could play a very significant role in the world of Islam.

Reminding that his country is a proponent of anti-colonialist campaigns and struggles, the envoy said, “We invite the countries in our region to stand up to liberalism.

“If Americans decide to start a war on our country like what they have done in the other parts of the world, then they will certainly be forced to get out of our country with broken hands and legs,” he added.
