Grand cleric urges Iranian officials to reinforce Muslim unity

Ayatollah Nouri Hamedani made the remarks in a meeting with Deputy Foreign Minister for Asia-Pacific region Ebrahim Rahimpour in Qom on Thursday.

Global arrogance has created numerous problems for Muslim countries as they really fear Islam, he said.

If the shooter in Las Vegas was a Muslim, the US media had made hue and cry against Islam, he said.

He also called the country's officials to take immediate action to stop bloodshed in Myanmar.

Deputy foreign minister, for his part said the current circumstances in the region is very complicated.
