Iran Press/ Iran news: Iran has reacted to the joint statement by the foreign ministers of the Persian Gulf Cooperation Council and the US secretary of state in which unacceptable claims were laid to the three Iranian Islands in the Persian Gulf with Washington’s support in addition to leveling baseless accusations against the Islamic Republic of Iran.
On Thursday afternoon, the Iranian Foreign Ministry’s 3rd Department for the US summoned the Swiss chargé d'affaires, whose country represents US interests in Tehran.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry filed a severe protest to the Swiss diplomat over this uncalculated move and the provocative acts of the US government.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry stressed that the Islamic Republic of Iran is firmly resolved to defend its territorial integrity and protect its security and interests vis-à-vis any threats from the US government to its navigation and commercial shipping.
The Foreign Ministry further said Tehran will take all measures that it takes to secure its national interests.
According to the Foreign Ministry, in line with its responsible and smart approach that is meant to safeguard regional security and stability, Iran will not let the US carry on with its policy of demonizing Iran in order to plunder the wealth and natural resources of the region.
The Swiss chargé d'affaires said he would immediately convey Iran’s protest to the US government.
