The visit comes days after the International Criminal Court at The Hague issued a warrant for al-Bashir's arrest on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in Sudan's Darfur region.
Ali Larijani, Iran's parliament speaker, said the ICC arrest warrant is an "insult directed at Muslims."
Meanwhile, the Khartoum government shut down 13 foreign and local aid agencies after accusing them of passing information to war crimes prosecutors.
