Iran: Interference Accusations by Gulf States Baseless

Local Editor

Iranian Spokesperson Ramin Mehmanparast rejected as "baseless" allegations by Gulf Arab states that Tehran is interfering in their internal affairs.

In his press conference, Mehmanparast stated: "Projecting responsibility of internal problems of regional countries and affiliating them to outside elements is escaping from reality."
He further added that "using oppressive ways is not a right approach toward people's demands."
"The islands of Abu Musa, Lesser Tunb and Greater Tunb are inseparable part of Iran's soil and repetitions of pervious baseless claims can't change reality," the spokesperson added.

Surprised by Kuwaiti Amir remarks about the maritime border dispute with Iran, he noted that "it was Kuwait which cut the negotiations and if it shows serious commitment for negotiation, Tehran is ready."
Moreover, he criticized provocative remarks of some regional countries' leaders and underlined the peaceful and legal nature of Iran's nuclear program. "Our nuclear activities are in accordance with all international rules and conventions including the IAEA rules and regulations," Mehmanparast confirmed.

In parallel, the spokesman called Saudi Arabia foreign minister's remarks as unhesitant, noting that Bahraini foreign minister's remarks do not worth being answered.
