TEHRAN, Oct. 7 (Xinhua) — Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei on Tuesday refuted "intrusive and baseless" statements made recently by the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the European Union regarding the country, including its nuclear program and defense activities.
In a statement released by the Iranian Foreign Ministry, Baghaei strongly condemned and rejected the “inappropriate interference” in Iran’s defense and nuclear programs and warned of “destructive and divisive interference” by some European states in the affairs of the West Asian region.
E. Bagai made this statement in response to a statement released on Monday following the 29th meeting of the Joint Council and the GCC-EU Ministerial Meeting in Kuwait.
In a statement, the foreign ministers of the Gulf states and the European Union called on Iran to reduce tensions in the region, ensure the peaceful nature of its nuclear program, and stop the proliferation of ballistic missiles, drones, and any technologies that “threaten” regional and international peace and security.
According to E. Baghaei, the European Union's "inappropriate interference" in the region's affairs has not contributed to the resolution of regional disputes and problems, but has only demonstrated its "hypocritical and divisive" policy towards Iran and the entire region.
He called on GCC members to refrain from creating conditions for “destructive” third-party interference in the region and to focus on strengthening mutual trust, developing friendship between countries in the region and countering Israel, which he called “the main threat to peace and stability” in West Asia. –0–
