"The Iranian people are the pillars of this government’s authority and preserving their rights is not only an ethical issue but also a national security requirement," Zarif added.
"What is John Bolton thinking when he says he will celebrate 2019 in Iran,"' Iranian Foreign Minister asked in a rhetorical question, referring to previous comments by the US President's National Security Advisor about the fall of the Iranian government.
He also refuted claims that Iran only supports Shia nations, saying: “Before any other member states of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council, we condemned Iraq’s attack on Kuwait."
Iranian Foreign Minister continued: "We were awake all night accompanying the Turkish government when there was a foreign-backed coup going on there and when Qatar was blockaded by Saudi Arabia, we opened our sky to them despite our concerns about some of its government’s policies, while Kuwait, Turkey or Qatar are not Shia countries.” 208/ 211 /104
