Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman says the United States is trying to foment tension and crisis in the West Asia region by resorting to its policy of Iranophobia.
Faraan: Nasser Kan’ani made the remarks early Sunday in reaction to the latest remarks by US President Joe Biden, who accused Iran of destabilizing activities in the West Asia region during an address to a summit of regional Arab states in the Saudi city of Jeddah on Saturday.
“Around the world, we’re seeing efforts to undermine the rules-based order: with China’s increasingly coercive actions in the Indo-Pacific and beyond; with Russia’s brutal and unprovoked war against its neighboring Ukraine; and with Iran’s destabilizing activities,” Biden claimed.US President Joe Biden has said America would not leave the Middle East region, saying any vacuum left would be filled by Washington.
Responding to Biden’s remarks, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman described the US president’s remarks as baseless and unacceptable, saying, “Such groundless allegations are in line with Washington’s policy to incite sedition and create tension in the region.”
Kan’ani said the United States is the sole country that has used nuclear weapons and in addition, its track records are marked with continued interference in the internal affairs of regional countries, occupation and military aggression as well as massive weapons sales and promoting militarism in West Asia. “Once more, the United States is trying to create tension and crisis in the region by resorting to its failed policy of Iranophobia,” he said.
He said Iran’s strategic policy is to avail itself of peaceful nuclear technology within framework of international rules and regulations while, at the same time, continue negotiations for the removal of sanctions imposed on the country.
