TEHRAN Iran's Deputy Foreign Minister Mohammad Sadr has voiced Iran's complete support for the Palestinian Intifada and called on other countries to follow suit, it was reported Monday.
Sadr conveyed a message from President Mohammad Khatami to Omani Sultan Qaboos bin Saeid in Sahar on Sunday night, alluding to the latest regional developments, particularly the critical situation in the occupied territories. He said it concerned him that Zionist forces continued to massacre oppressed Palestinians with Washington's blessing, and underlined the need for Islamic states to make more efforts to help restore the legitimate rights of the Palestinians.
Sultan Qaboos also said that the aid currently provided by Arab and Muslim states to the Palestinian resistance movement is insufficient, and said the Zionist regime's expansionist policies were disturbing and should be countered.
The two officials also discussed the expansion of Tehran and Muscat's reciprocal cooperation as well as the latest developments in Afghanistan and Iraq.
In a related report released by IRNA, on Sunday Sadr also met the Omani Minister for Foreign Affairs, Yousuf bin Ali al-Alawi bin Abdullah, and underlined the importance of a continued exchange of views between the two countries' officials to further improve the already increasing bilateral ties.

TEHRAN The two-day International Seminar on Islamic Media, involving 140 journalists from 30 countries, will begin in Tehran today, the secretary of the seminar stated yesterday. The Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) is sponsoring the event in order to promote a sense of unity in the Islamic press.
Mr. Bamdad said that the Palestinian territories has been the center of events in the Islamic world in the past, and since the September 11 attacks and their aftermath, the region has become even more sensitive.
"The occupier Zionist regime, with the support of most of the internationally recognized media and under the banner of war against terrorism, continues to commit crimes in the occupied territories," he added.
Bamdad also suggested that unity in the Islamic media was "very helpful", and that "at this point the harmony can keep the Intifada alive."
