Iranian Foreign Minister Manouchehr Mottaki on Saturday condemned the United States for sowing discord among Islamic nations to achieve its interventionist goals.

"The United States has embarked on an old and repetitive game to sow discord among Islamic nations to press ahead with ominous goals," Mottaki was quoted by the official IRNA news agency as saying.

Mottaki said Washington was following unilateral and interventionist goals under the disguise of an international campaign against terrorism.

"The United States is accusing Iran and other Islamic states of ill-intention, whereas, it has black record and has no jurisdiction for judgment in the international community," Mottaki said, while urging the United States to stop interfering in internal affairs of other states.

"The Islamic Republic of Iran honors its commitments to the international community and has made constructive cooperation to reinforce regional and international peace and stability," Mottaki said.

Mottaki's remarks were apparently in response to the US accusation against Iran over its alleged interference in Iraq's internal affairs.

Iran rejects the US charge as a lie, saying it will spare no efforts to help Iraq restore security but has no intention to interfere in its internal affairs.
