Tehran Dismisses Arab League’s Account of Iranian Military Operations Against US Regional Bases
Iran’s Foreign Ministry denied the Arab League’s bids at portraying Tehran’s acts of retaliation against American interests in West Asia as deliberate targeting of regional states.
The ministry reiterated Iran’s “principled policy of good-neighborliness”, stressing the importance of strengthening regional convergence and avoiding provocative positions.“The Islamic Republic, while adhering to international law, has taken the necessary defensive measures to safeguard its national security and interests,” it added.The statement additionally dismissed the Arab League’s claims against Iran of interference in regional states’ affairs, besides reaffirming Iran’s sovereignty over the Abu Musa, Greater Tunb, and Lesser Tunb Islands in the Persian Gulf.
The foreign ministry in Tehran issued the rejection in a statement on Wednesday after the claims that were leveled against Iran in the final statement of the 166th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Arab League.Iran has targeted American military assets in the region, including facilities in the UAE, Kuwait, Bahrain, Jordan and Qatar, which are used to launch aerial raids on Iran during the war.Iranian officials say the country's Armed Forces carried out “self-defense strikes” on sites the United States is permitted to use to attack the Islamic Republic. Iranian military commanders have repeatedly warned that any regional state that serves the United States will “burn in the fire of the war" that Washington has waged against Tehran.
The ministry further maintained that security and stability in the Persian Gulf and Gulf of Oman should be ensured through cooperation among the littoral states and without foreign interference.It declared Iran’s readiness for dialogue and collaboration with regional countries to strengthen mutual trust, achieve sustainable security and stability, and promote economic progress across West Asia.
