Iranian President Hassan Rouhani has called on Saudi Arabia to cease its hostile policies against Tehran, warning against the ramifications of putting trust in the US and Israel.
Speaking at his cabinet meeting on Wednesday, Rouhani reaffirmed Iran’s support for the development of regional countries, including Saudi Arabia and said, “There is no way other than brotherhood, friendship and helping each other.
“You are mistaken if you think Iran is not your friend, but the US and Israel are. This mentality is a strategic mistake and miscalculation,” added the Iranian president.
“Our path in the region is to establish and promote stability; we want the geographic borders not to change, nations decide for themselves and bombardments and aggressions against the nations in the region are stopped,” he added.
Rouhani pointed to the allegations about Iran’s interference in the regional countries, adding that such claims come while the Islamic republic has been fighting terrorism in Iraq and Syria upon the request of those countries.
The Iranian president pointed to the track record of the US and Israeli plots against the regional countries, saying, “The hegemonic [states] plunder the oil and wealth of the region and, in return, they sell their different weapons to fan the flames.”
Rouhani lashed out at Saudi Arabia for waging a deadly war on its neighbor Yemen since March 2015.
“What should the Yemeni nation do in response to this level of bombardment of its country? They are told not to use their own weapons. Well, stop the bombing and see whether or not the Yemeni nation responds positively. You do not allow delivery of medicine, food and UN assistance to the Yemenis. Is what you are doing reasonable and Islamic?”
