| 2019-10-11 |
| [PRESSTV] Iran’s Foreign Minister, Mohamad Javad Zarif, has highlighted the significance of maintaining security in the Persian Gulf, saying that either all countries in the region will benefit from security or all will be deprived of it. In an article in the Kuwaiti al-Rai newspaper on Thursday, Zarif said that the security and stability of the Persian Gulf is an indispensable necessity in ensuring access to international markets. He added that regional security and stability has been maintained by the regional countries themselves for centuries. Provision of security to the region is the prime responsibility of all regional countries and should be maintained without foreign interference, said Zarif. He underlined the need for a "new discourse" now that the region is facing increasing threats and challenges, calling on regional countries to shoulder their responsibility to save the region which he said is "on the brink of destruction". |
