According to the Foreign Ministry's Information and Press Bureau,
Kharrazi voiced concern over the increase in the number of civilians
casualties in Iraq and underlined the pivotal role of the United
Nations to end the war. He added that increase in number of civilian
casualties is not considered as a victory but it will be considered a
human catastrophe instead and will raise the ire of the Islamic
nations towards the occupation of Iraq by foreigners.
Underlining the significant attention paid by the Shiite Muslims
on the sanctity of the holy places in Iraq, Kharrazi called for
respecting and safeguarding these holy sites.
The Britain foreign secretary, for his part, underlined the need
to safeguard the holy places in Iraq.
