Iranian Parliament (Majlis) Speaker Ali Larijani has slammed the US for its policies of occupation and unilateralism as well as double standards towards its so-called war on terror, Press TV reported.
"US policies have intensified insecurity in the region and caused pain for the Afghan people," Larijani said, referring to incidents after the US invasion of Afghanistan in 2001.
Larijani made the remarks in a meeting with First Deputy Speaker of the Lower House of the Afghan Parliament Mirwais Yasini in Tehran on Saturday.
"Time is ripe for the US administration and NATO member states to review their policies and withdraw from Afghanistan," he said.
He stressed that the Afghan people should reconstruct the war-torn country and establish their own security.
Yasini, for his part, praised support of the Iranian nation for the Afghan people and called for bolstering parliamentary ties between the two neighboring countries.
