<div><strong>The secretary general of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) says the Israeli regime is the sole regional entity that benefits from tensions and conflicts in the Middle East.</strong></div>
<div id="divDetailBody">
<p>In a meeting with Iran’s Ambassador to OIC Hamid Reza Dehqani, Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu expressed deep concern about the ongoing developments in the region.</p>
<blockquote><p>“The situation of Islamic world is highly worrying and no Muslim country in the region benefits from it. It is only the Zionist regime [of Israel] that benefits from it,” he stressed.</p></blockquote>
<p>Elsewhere in his remarks, the OIC chief also hailed Iran’s recent presidential vote and the election of Hassan Rohani as the new president of the Islamic Republic.</p>
<p>He expressed hope that Iran-OIC cooperation would further strengthen and promote in all sectors under the new Iranian administration.</p>
<p>The Iranian diplomat, for his part, expressed concern about continued violence as well as religious rifts among different Islamic sects in the region.</p>
<p>Regarding Iran’s recent presidential election, Dehqani said the high voter turnout of Iranians had created a political epic for the Islamic Republic. He also appreciated Ihsanoglu’s congratulatory message to the Iranian president-elect.</p>
<p>Rohani won Iran’s June 14 presidential election with 18,613,329 votes, or 50.7 percent of a total of 36,704,156 ballots.</p>
<p>Nearly 50.5 million Iranians, including more than 1.6 million first-time voters, were eligible to participate in the presidential election. The voter turnout in the election was 72.7 percent, according to the Interior Ministry.</p>
