Sayyed Ali Fadlallah, the son of the late Lebanese Shiite cleric Ayatollah Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah, has stated that Iran, the strongest supporter of the Syrian regime, wants to use Shiites politically as well as economically to its own benefit, adding that the idea that Iran represents all Shiites is not accurate.

“There are different Shiite groups in Iran, Iraq and Lebanon, and each of them have diverse ideas. It would be wrong to say that Iran represents all the Shiite groups,” said Fadlallah.

In an exclusive interview with Today's Zaman, Fadlallah also noted that there are misunderstandings between Shiites and Sunnis, adding that the two groups should focus on common points rather than differences.
