Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif has called on Europe to promote dialog in the Persian Gulf region amid a stand-off between Saudi Arabia and its allies and Qatar.
The top Iranian diplomat made the call in an address to the think tank known as the European Council on Foreign Relations. Zarif said accusing others, including Iran and Qatar, of backing terror is a tactic Saudis and their allies are using. The foreign minister said this is an attempt to escape accountability and distract attention from Riyadh’s failure to address the fundamental demands of their own people. Zarif also slammed the U-S policy, saying Washington has made buying or not buying its arms as a measure to decide who backs terror.
