Iran welcomes the opportunity to host the leaders of countries ostensibly aligned with the US to bolster its own international influence and the legitimacy of the regime (and Ahmadinejad?).

Tehran to host weekend conference on terrorism
Tehran will host a two-day international conference on terrorism this weekend, Iran's foreign minister said Wednesday…
According to local reports, officials from 80 countries as well as experts from regional and international organizations will take part in the conference. No further details were given.
The presidents of Afghanistan, Pakistan and Sudan reportedly already confirmed their attendance.
Iran has on several occasions criticized the United States and its Western allies for having deteriorated security in both Afghanistan and Iraq by their military presence.
Tehran says the most effective option to fight terrorism is to allow regional countries to take care of security and force foreign troops to leave the region.
