Conflict in Kashmir only benefits colonial powers, says former Iranian President Ahmadinejad
Former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said that the Kashmir conflict only benefits colonial powers.
Ahmadinejad, in a tweet said:
The conflict in Kashmir only benefits the colonial powers. All parties should refrain from endorsing to the devilish goals of the capitalist system which is ruining the world and they should try to strengthen brotherhood amongst each other. #Kashmir

Ahmadinejad, who served as the 6th President of Iran, was a very vocal critic of the United States.
Recently, the United States designated Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps a foreign “terrorist” organisation, an unprecedented declaration against a foreign government that may prompt retaliation and make it harder for American diplomats and military officers to work with allies in the region.
In retaliation, the Iranian parliament has approved a bill that labels all US military forces as terrorist.
The legislation is a step further after Iranian lawmakers last week approved a bill labelling US troops in the Mideast as terrorist, a day after the US terrorism designation for Iran’s Revolutionary Guard came into effect.
