Tehran (IP) - Iran's Foreign Minister says that efforts are made to eliminate the idea of securing the Persian Gulf by relying on foreign forces.

Iran PressIran News: Speaking at the third edition of Tehran Dialogue Forum (TDF 2022), Iran's Foreign Minister Hossein Amir-Abdollahian stated: "Iran is always ready to build trust and cooperate with its neighbors in the region, including the Persian Gulf countries."

He added: "We are trying to eliminate once and for all the idea of providing security from outside the region."

The Iranian foreign minister said: "In West Asia, we consider our neighbors as our brothers and their security and well-being as ours. Iran has always been one of the foundations of security and stability in the region and the pillar of countering ISIS terrorism."

"Iran has always been at the forefront of fighting all kinds of terrorism in the region and the world, Iran's top diplomat noted.

"On the anniversary of the martyrdom of the two heroes of the fight against terrorism assassinated by the US, including former Commander of the Quds Force of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) Lieutenant-General Qassem Soleimani, and the former Deputy Head of Iraq's PMU Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, I have to remind these two great heroes who protected the security of Iran, Iraq, and the world," noted the Iranian foreign minister.

Amir-Abdollahian announced: "We are ready to hold a joint meeting of foreign ministers between Iran and the Persian Gulf countries and other neighbors.

Stressing the baseless nature of the claim that the Islamic Republic of Iran provided weapons and drones to Russia in the war against Ukraine, Amir-Abdollahian stated: "The accusations against Iran and the controversy that says the country is sending weapons to Russia are to cover up the warmongering in Ukraine because at the same time Billions of dollars are spent on weapons by Western countries to import them into Ukraine so that the European country continues the war."

"Today, we see that Europe is paying for the policies of the United States, which is far from the crisis zone," he noted.
