Saudi Arabia should end policies that have set middle east on fire: Iran’s Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman

foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marzieh Afkham

Certain neighbors of Iran had better end their policies of supporting extremist and terrorist groups, instead of leveling baseless accusations against Iran, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Marziyeh Afkham on Sunday.

Afkham’s remarks came in response to Saudi foreign minister’s remarks on Saturday in which he said the U.S. president had assured Saudi King Salman about the authenticity of the nuclear agreement with Tehran but Riyadh should now look closely at what he called “the nefarious activities” of Iran in the region.

Afkham said regional countries, in particular Saudi Arabia, should stop policies that have already set the region “on fire” and created waves of displaced people in Syria and Iraq, and the slaughter of innocent Yemenis.

She also called for the adoption of a realistic and constructive approach toward regional issues, which can help bring peace and security for all.

It is better that Saudi Arabia and some of its regional allies resolve issues through dialogue rather than being engaging in “dangerous military games.”

She added, “Iran has always regarded the policy of good neighborliness and expansion of ties with all neighboring countries as priorities in its foreign relations, and has no conditions and limitations for deepening friendly relations with neighbors.”

She further underscored the need for taking realistic and constructive stances to help maintain regional peace and security.
