Iran urged its Gulf Arab neighbours today to reconcile themselves to the international rapprochement that led to its July nuclear agreement with world powers and to halt their hostile propaganda.
Foreign ministry spokeswoman Marizeh Afkham said that a joint statement issued by Gulf Arab foreign ministers on Tuesday accusing Iran of interference in their countries’ internal affairs was the same baseless rhetoric some of them had been uttering for decades. “It is surprising that in the post-nuclear talks atmosphere, two or three of our southern neighbours... Try to continue the failed policy of considering the Islamic Republic of Iran a threat,” she said.
