(Worthy News) – Iran on Sunday condemned the United Kingdom’s proposal for a European-led naval mission in the Persian Gulf as “provocative.”
“The presence of foreign forces will not only not help the security of the region, but will be the main factor for tension,” said Iranian President Hassan Rouhani, adding that Iran and Oman had primary responsibility for securing the strategically important Strait of Hormuz.
“The roots of the unpleasant events and tension in the region today are the unilateral withdrawal of America (from the 2015 nuclear deal),” he added, referring to the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), signed by global powers. [ Source: Deutche Welle (Read More…) ]
