Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani has warned against regional terrorism and Western militarism, saying the duo has wreaked havoc in the region.

“The United States seeks to ensure its dominance over the region but vigilance of the (regional) nations will foil their plots,” Majlis news agency (ICANA) quoted Larijani as saying in a meeting with Belarusian Justice Minister Viktor Golovanov in the Iranian capital, Tehran, on Wednesday.

The remarks come on the heels of recent media reports suggesting that the United States and its allies may be preparing the ground for military intervention in Libya.

Larijani said the region has entered a new phase following the current revolutions in the Middle East and North Africa, adding, “Democracy will prevail in such an atmosphere and will benefit independent countries in the region.”

The Iranian Majlis speaker urged independent countries to establish a new order in the region by boosting their cooperation. He further pointed out that terrorism is among the main problems in the region and stressed the importance of bolstering regional and international ties to confront the adverse consequences of the phenomenon.
