Iran Press/ Iran News: Nasser Kanani was reacting to plans by the United States and the Zionist Regime of Israel for a joint pact with Arab countries to counter what they call threats by Iran.
The Iranian diplomat described the plan as a provocative move and said that Iran views it as a threat to its national security, as well as the security of the region.
He said that the US has no correct understanding of the realities in the region and is raising such issues only to sow the seeds of discord and spread Iranophobia among regional countries. "This shows that what is important for the US is its illegal interests and continued support for the Zionist regime," Kanani added.
He noted, "The Islamic Republic of Iran has always stressed dialog and regional cooperation - without foreigners’ interference - to safeguard the security and common interests of the countries in the region."
The spokesman also said that attempts to increase new security concerns in the region would have no result, but to weaken regional security and serve the Zionist regime’s security interests.
"The entry of foreigners into any regional process not only fails to promote security and stability, but itself is the main cause of tensions and regional rifts," Kanani concluded.
