Iranian First Vice President Eshaq Jahangiri described stability and security of international waterways, northern and southern coasts and the Strait of Hormuz as Iran’s red line.
Addressing the Caspian Economic Forum in Turkmenistan, Jahangiri said by withdrawing from Iran nuclear deal which is a great achievement for the world diplomacy, the US administration showed that it is not committed to international agreements, IRNA reported
Even though the threadbare Iranophobia policy of the United States has been failed due to Iran’s constructive role in regional developments and in fighting terrorism, but creating insecurity for selling a security is still a US’ deceiving strategy, he noted.

He noted that the August 12 reminds significant development for the Caspian Sea Littoral States.
He urged all participants to prioritize developing economic and commercial cooperation through establishing effective relations between the private and governmental sectors.
