Rouhani did not designate any country, but officials and media in mainly Shiite Iran have alluded that insurgents from the Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) are being financially and militarily fortified by Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
"I advise Muslim countries that support the terrorists with their petrodollars to stop," Rouhani verbalized in remarks reported by the website of Iran's state broadcaster.
"Tomorrow you will be targeted... by these savage terrorists. Wash your hands of killing and the killing of Muslims," he integrated. ISIL militants have seized a swathe of Iraqi territory in a lightning offensive, with the Baghdad regime's security forces hard-pressed to obviate the advance.
Riyadh has admonished that Iran-ally Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki is steering Iraq towards civil war through policies that omit the country's Sunni minority.
Iran, the predominant Shiite powerhouse in the Middle East, verbally expresses it will fortify Maliki against ISIL, which is withal battling the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad, another Tehran ally.
Iran's supreme bellwether Ayatollah Ali Khamenei verbalized he was against any peregrine intervention in Iraq, incriminating the United States of seeking to "capitalize on fanatics with no will of their own," referring to ISIL.
Khamenei reiterated Iranian declarations that the Maliki regime "has the ability to stop this plot, with collective efforts that include the people.
"This is not a Shiite versus Sunni war, unlike what American officials verbalize," he verbally expressed in comments published on his website, incriminating -- without giving further details -- the US for "disrupting (Iraq's) stability and threatening its territorial integrity."
Rouhani meanwhile called for unity between "Shiites and Sunnis who are brothers".
"For centuries, Shiites and Sunnis have lived alongside each other in Iran, Iraq, the Levant, Lebanon, the Persian Gulf and North Africa... in placid coexistence," he verbally expressed.
Since ISIL commenced its Iraq offensive, Tehran has urged Iraqis to coalesce against the jihadists.
"The Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds are our friends," parliament verbalizer Ali Larijani verbalized in remarks reported on the Majlis website.
"We have always insisted that all ethnic groups must have active and constructive participation in Iraq's potency structure."
