Iran’s Acting Foreign Minister, Ali Bagheri, has met with Hissein Brahim Taha, Secretary General of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, as he kicked off diplomatic consultations on the sidelines of the OIC foreign ministers’ executive committee’s emergency session.
In the meeting, Bagheri and Taha discussed different issues on the agenda of the Jeddeh meeting.

Bagheri expressed hope that Iran and the OIC secretariate will boost their cooperation and honored the memory of late Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian, who cared much about ties among Muslim countries and the authority of the OIC. 

He pointed to the heinous crime of the Zionist regime, that is, the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh, head of the political bureau of Hamas, describing the act not only as a violation of Iran's national security and sovereignty but also a breach of international laws.
Bagheri noted that the Zionists seek to spread instability from Gaza to the entire region, and they have shown that they are ready to set the entire West Asia on fire in order to achieve their sinister goals.

The Iranian acting foreign minister then thanked the OIC for its transparent and robust position on the assassination of Ismail Haniyeh and its condemnation of the crime. He said while in this huge crime, Muslim countries coherently and in concert condemned the terrorist act of the Zionist regime, not only did the US and some European countries refuse to condemn the act of terror, but they also continued their policy of supporting Israel and this shows that these governments do not want to see peace and stability in the region and they want instability the region.

Bagheri described as necessary the convergence and synergy of Islamic countries to deal with the very evil existence of Israel, which is the main root cause of instability in the region.
He emphasized that under the current situation, Muslim nations and the OIC and its secretary general have a big responsibility.

Bagheri noted it is expected that Islamic countries will support the inherent and legitimate right of Iran to give a legal and appropriate response to the Israeli aggression because Iran's action is not only meant to defend its own sovereignty and national security but also to defend the stability and security of the entire region.

OIC Secretary General Hissein Brahim Taha also offered condolences to Iran over the martyrdom of Ismail Haniyeh.

The OIC chief highlighted the important position and role of Iran as a founding member of the organization, saying the OIC’s secretariat is fully ready to cooperate with Iran.

Hissein Brahim Taha reaffirmed the clear stance of the OIC on the ugly crime of assassinating Ismail Haniyeh by the Zionist regime, adding that this barbaric act does not affect the OIC’s resolve to defend the Palestinian cause, and “we will continue our serious efforts to this end”. The OIC head noted that the body will continue and make every effort to achieve this goal.
