Iran hit back at remarks made by British PM, saying that Theresa May wanted to please the Gulf leaders.
May said on Wednesday she was “clear-eyed” about the alleged threat posed by Iran to the security of the Persian Gulf and wider Middle East.
May made the remarks in Manama at the 37th annual summit of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), comprising Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.
In response, Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesman Bahram Qassemi said the Countries that are fueling violence in the region can not accuse Tehran of meddling in other states’ affairs.
Qassemi said the Islamic Republic believes that such remarks emanate from the country’s problems caused by changes to the country’s relations with the European Union after Brexit.
Such issues prompted May to make “unconsidered” comments against the Iranian government and nation to “please some of the leaders” of the [P]GCC member states, he added hours after May remarks.
“The countries, whose irresponsible interference in [the affairs of] other states has spread insecurity, war, violence and terrorism, are not in a position to accuse others of meddling in regional affairs,” Qassemi said.
The Iranian diplomat went on say that May made the assertion in an attempt to secure new huge arms deals with some Persian Gulf Arab countries, and to subsequently exacerbate the crises caused by their war crimes against the innocent people of Yemen, Syria, Bahrain, Iraq and other Muslim countries.
